Everytime I look at Robert Jenrick I can't decide which episode of the League of Gentlemen he reminds me of most.

2019 me is also 2024 me. In some senses.

Facebook post by me from October 2019 that says:

I had a rant written about World Mental Health Day but deleted it because I couldn't be arsed. Tldr... it's a day where people share vacuous slogans in pretty fonts that achieve nothing. It's where people who are lucky enough to never have endured mental illness tell those of us that have that "it's OK to not be OK" when I've lost a handful of friends to suicide in the past ten years and know full-well such a statement is not just privileged guff, it's also deeply untrue.

I think this day is a day to make people who don't have mental illness feel a little bit less guilty about the inaction against (or sometimes active complicity in) the way mental health is dealt with.

Sorry I'm not being more upbeat. If only I'd looked at more pictures of pretty mountains instead of taking my big-pharma-sponsored evil meds, eh?

I have a growing dislike to Coursera courses offered by e.g. Amazon on something like e.g. AWS where too big a proportion of that course is basically them just advertising their stuff.

It'll always amaze me as to how racism can make people suddenly give a shit about animal rights. Until their next bacon butty ofc...

I have been in tech for two decades and I will never get used to this word meaning what tech thinks it means...

I see the USA is now at the "I know you are, you said you are, so what am I then?!" level of political discourse.

An excerpt from a Guardian article that reads:

But the use of mental disability to describe Harris’s faculties has been widely seized upon. Democrat Illinois governor JB Pritzker told CNN that Trump’s remarks were “name-calling”.

“Whenever he says things like that, he’s talking about himself but trying to project it onto others,” Pritzker said. Eric Holder, the former Obama administration attorney general, said Trump’s comments indicated “cognitive decline”.

A referendum that said no. Then a "dialogue workshop" with a handpicked electorate that said no. And now a second of those workshops has said no. So rude of Berliners to not give our wonderful rulers the answer they wanted in the first place, so of course they'll keep asking taz.de/Scheindemokr...

Auch die zweite Dialogwerkstatt zur Randbebauung des Tempelhofer Felds lehnt das Vorhaben des Senats deutlich ab. Das wird aber auch nicht nĂźtzen.

If allowing you as a game player to choose whether you brutally assassinate people as a man or a woman is "woke" (a ridiculous word to begin with) and if Ubisoft are buying into this bad faith war on progression, then fuck them. Signed - a former fan who has played most ACs and all WDs to death.
