Just told my wife we're now poor. She didn't think it was funny.

Days of UK newspapers condemning "far right" protests/riots and saying it's been "whipped up" online. This may all be true, but I still haven't seen one article that actually shows evidence for this or even bothers to interview any of the "far right thugs". The rationale journalists are using is whatever the government says the rationale is. I'm not condoning what the protestors are doing, and a lot of what has been reported does seem bad/criminal. But, I can't imagine it's calming when you think you have such a strong issue you're protesting for and the issue is ignored, and then instead you're labelled a "thug" and told you're the problem.

Did some art at Tate Modern today #artstr

Wow, more chance of a 50bps cut in September than 25bps. Looks like it's not a soft landing after all.

really annoying when someone sends you an image of a QR code instead of the underlying data can't find a safe app that will read the image, so I have to go get another device and scan with the camera and then email it across

BBC trying to be cute, but actually revealing lack of seriousness, self-interest, and reliance on the state.

Recently "Bitcoin fixes this" has been very literal for me. Because I don't want to part with my stack I've been very into DIY so I can fix things myself. Would not have fixed a bunch of stuff nor had some solid Dad-DIY skills if not for Bitcoin 💪

Sad how much I'm incentivised at work to look competent, as opposed to achieve our product goals. The more I get engineers to do analysis and help me make slides for the "ETeam", or get everyone to commit to highly uncertain estimates, the more competent I look as a product manager. I actively resist this incentive structure, but it just makes me seem antagonistic and not willing to "operate on an executive level". This, even though by avoiding this middle management bullshit trap I'm helping the business far more.

Listening to bbc radio 2 news and literally every story was propaganda

New NPC chip update: "Joe Biden is a good man, but he needs to step aside"

In our British "democracy" the Labour party wins by a "landslide" with less than 34% of the vote 🙃

If the US needs all oil sales to be in USD, and they will start wars to ensure this, why are politicians so keen to promote green energy? A theory: The only viable green energy is nuclear and that has been blocked. Wind and solar isn't able to truly replace oil for most uses, but it gives an excuse to use green policy to threaten and control domestic oil production - this ensures that there is still sufficient US demand for oil which helps maintain USD settlement for it. Perhaps this is why the EU is so rabid about green energy, and why China subsidises production of solar/wind even if they don't use it much themselves.

I'd respect your vegetarianism/veganism more if you admitted that you were actually sacrificing your health for your cause
