Jokes, nonsense and imagination. #DnD #TTRPG.

Some of my views may be shared by my employer, but I doubt it.

"A modest man with much to be modest about" :- W. Churchill.

Highly mutable.

Twitter down; productivity up 37%
it has been 0 days since a billionaire imploded under extreme pressure
if I wanted to rate-limit myself to reading 300 posts a day, I'd go and read the graffitti on the toilet walls
imagine paying $80 billion to single-handedly nuke your reputation as a business genius

imagine trying to sell advertising on a website where you are actively limiting users to 600 views a day.

Don't say:

You are in a room. A Gambler is talking.

Do say:

On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with The Gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us
And he began to speak.

I am part of the UK University Strike today. #UCU #UCUstrike

We are striking for secure contracts for precariously-employed young academics; an end to pension cuts; and a pay rise that keeps up with inflation.

@sladescross see also the line from Nottingham to Sheffield
@OcreJulia We've been keeping them for about 6 years - in fairness, it's my partner who is the primary caregiver. Yes, they are certainly characters alright - the cheekiest one is always trying to get into our house
@OcreJulia Thanks for remembering. It was our oldest and smallest chicken. Sadly she passed away a week ago. But she had a good long life, for a hen at least.
