Configuring #GitHub's #dependabot to run at a scheduled interval, and to group all PR's into a single one... is such a massive time saver for anyone maintaining a large number of repos. Or even just a few npm repos, lol. Make sure to do that!

Dickens: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Schrödinger: Nice.

discovered to my great dismay that in many serif typefaces the alignment of “f” and “y” together is in fact deeply unsatisfying
I could not resist building this ZX81 kit if I had one. Like some kind of reverse entropy.

I am cooking up something a little exciting of course related to #opa and #backstage

Going to see if we can break the mould a bit with this one 😎 👍

Reporting of the latest UBI test programme is ignoring the key finding, obvious to anyone who knows low income people, that their first impulse was to spread the wealth to others.
This thinking is so alien to economists and financial types that they barely discuss it. https://www.openresearchlab.org/findings/key-findings-spending

When Hillary Clinton was the nominee, she was called "Hillary” by fans, opponents, and media alike. I was told “that's because 'Clinton' means 'Bill' in people's heads," and I didn't entirely agree, but OK.

Now Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee, and she's "Kamala,” not "Harris.” There is no other President Harris.

Trump isn't "Donald," Biden isn't "Joe,” Obama wasn't "Barack.” In 2016, it was possible that this wasn't gendered. But I can’t buy that anymore.
