I can neither understand nor accept that it isn’t #GeneralElectionN0W in the UK. Where are the barricades to mount and defend? If I put one up in my front garden will you join me?

A "tough choice" is deciding whether to feed your children or heat your home. Austerity is not a tough choice. It is a political choice to wage class warfare on the most vulnerable. The right choice is taxing the rich, public ownership, and a redistribution of wealth & power.

There are too many climate advocates with no expertise in social science claiming to know with certainty what will work best. They all tend to say “let’s keep doing more of what we’ve been doing for decades.” News flash: it hasn’t worked

If you’re appalled at what 2 people have done to a rectangle of glass, wait until you hear what our growth economy is doing to our ability to keep on living on this planet.
This is a total disgrace. These people make me sick. I hope when they eventually get to court the judge has the guts to sentence them to imprisonment for at least 6 months with no early release. Hopefully scrubbing the toilets.

The core problem is that k8s allows us to treat containers as cattle, but images are still treated as pets. "Mom, I want this new image!" "Who's gonna take care of it?" "Me!" "You're gonna feed it and walk it and scan it for CVEs?" "Uh huh!" "Even when it's raining?" "Sure..."

A tweet to really enjoy for readers who remember Thatcher and Reagan. And to highlight how the UK is trapped in Back to the (Eighties) Future, while the US has moved in
I am sick and tired of trickle-down economics. It has never worked. We're building an economy from the bottom up and middle out.

In my (too) long software development career across academic, open source, and enterprise settings a thing that really stands out is how relatively little software quality matters or is a concern in the enterprise. This is unlikely to be news to anyone with similar experience.
