    I’ve spent the bulk of the past 18 hours reading social media. I feel a little queasy. A bit like a day of eating only pick’n’mix and poo.

    @aden_76 Excellent, thanks! I shall en-Tumbl it tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of it!

    As is traditional, the pleasure of BBC’s Glastonbury coverage is enlivened by discovering what UI annoyances they’ve introduced this year.

    @GreatDismal There’s a difference between “detained” and “in hiding”.

    I’m enjoying Christina and the Queens at Glastonbury bbc.co.uk/events/ewcj5v/… Seem nice, fun. French though, so won’t be allowed for long.

    Folks at Glastonbury look like they’re having a good time though, so that’s lovely to watch. Thanks BBC. While we still have you.

  • philgyford’s avatar

    I don’t think I’ve ever found myself wondering if there’s any point to being nice. Doesn’t seem like a route to success and happiness rn.

    Still, at least the socialist utopia that all those left Brexiters wanted will be happening any day now hahahahahahaha

    Why Brexit is like Linux:
    - Requires rebuilding your workflows
    - Lots of compatibility issues
    - Only more free in theory
    - People regret it
