    British cultural expression, 2012 and 2020. What the fuck happened?

    We call it the "Gig Economy" because "How Billion Dollar Corporations Get Around the Minimum Wage" didn't test well.

    Shout-out this morning to Phineas Gage, victim of a railroad blasting accident who now appears in pretty much every psychology text and speech. A kind, conscientious man who has gone down in history as a complete dick due to brain injury. Poor bugger.

    Y'all who follow me for talking about animals... Ever wish you could have a Pok'e'dex for real life? Where the plants and animals you observe were identified, and added to research being done by biologists? GUESS THE FUCK WHAT. YOU GODDAMN CAN. AAAAAAAAAAH.

    And people wonder why it's hard to get people out of their cars and on to active transport. Some can't, some won't... but a lot are scared of drivers like that. Experience, awareness and good maintenance protected me today; a novice would probably have crashed.

    Finally, at the bottom of the slope, UJL brake-checks me (I hear their ABS engage and narrowly avoid a skid myself) to let a car out of a side road, then speeds off. So yeah. I count 3 near collisions and 1, maybe 2 aggressive driving. No helmetcam though, so I guess that's that.

    I crest the bridge and click into 3rd gear, start accelerating down the slope. Part way down, UJL leaps out past me in a break in the oncoming traffic, clips past with a foot or so to spare and then dives back into lane amidst aggrieved horns from the oncoming car.

    I'm in second gear on a Brompton 3-speed, powering up the hill at about 12mph, nearly spinning out of my chainset. I'm aware of a small vehicle snarling right behind me, but I'm in primary position over a narrow two-lane bridge: no option for them to pass.

    Well, GN14 UJL wins the naughty driver prize in Cambridge today (on Coldhams Lane railway bridge) . Lemme 'splain.

    Just witnessed a child in a zero waste shop yell ‘LENTILS’ before opening the lentil pipe and allowing them to gush forth. Chaos. Lentils everywhere

    Here's a thread on reconciliation and what it would mean for a country to come together after an acrimonious, difficult situation. I'm talking about the EU Referendum and Boris Johnson's calls for reconciliation and Welby's calls for reconnection. 1/ (thread for )

    New rule: if your queer representation couldn't be removed from the movie without making the film itself noticably different then it doesn't count and you don't get points for it. I'm done being baited.

    People in developed countries (mostly) don't die from terrible communicable diseases anymore BECAUSE OF THE VACCINES. The Y2K problem didn't crash banking computers and hospital carts and shit BECAUSE PROGRAMMERS FIXED THE CODE. IT WASN'T MAGIC. IT WAS LABOR.

    No reconciliation without truth. When we hear about reconciliation from public figures, what they mean is ‘stop complaining, we have the power, fuck you’. That’s not reconciliation, that’s totalitarianism.

    My Mum's cat sits like Thunderbird Two.

    A reminder that the UK is such an unequal and divided society that there is a recognised and accepted Rich Person Accent, that is tied not to geographical location, like literally every other accent in the country, but to class.
