This is extraordinary. Nevada is about to add protections for sexual orientation and gender identity into its constitution. I believe this will be the first state to explicitly do so and they did by popular vote.

I also want to be clear about something else: Besides the state/national groups who gave funding and air to the "Library is run by pedophiles grooming your kids" propaganda, it was a group effort with idiots who believed that, and the thousand+ Jamestown citizens who didn't vote.

A data spike like this tells you your data is broken. I’m willing to bet they ask people their date of birth and a large proportion pick the year 2000 as a shortcut. There aren’t really 2x as many 22-year-olds as 23-year-olds playing switch.

Elon Musk just built the Hyperloop’s grave

Years ago,

told me I should write a book drawing parallels between Brunel and M*sk's lives. Here are the main ones... 1) Lots of impractical ideas. 2) Vision and reality are often separate domains. 3) Projects always over budget.

Maybe Elon Musk should have skipped the Hyperloop and built parking lots instead.

This is what Twitter actually provides to me. Twitter is like GitHub, but built on a super annoying proprietary tech stack that means I can't just take my repository and go somewhere else if they make a colossal mistake. So it ends up corrupted and hijacked.

Today’s insane comparison comes courtesy of Jane Shilling in The Daily Telegraph:

Pluck and draw

The price of fast food is rocketing: up from 99p to £1.19 for a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Time to consider slow food – of which, hanging in the garage, I have the ultimate example: a brace of pheasant and another of partridge. All I have to do is pluck and draw them.

The waste of shot game birds is a problematic issue. But given the choice between a McDonald’s cheeseburger and the dozen or so free meals to which my birds will eventually contribute, burying my hand in pheasant entrails is a small price to pay
