I learnt my way round a car engine in the 70s from NFDad. We seemed to have our heads under the bonnet of our dark grey Volvo 144L (MSG 394G, fact fans) every chuffing weekend. All knowledge that's absolutely useless now that you can't even look at a car engine without a PhD in computer science.

Absolutely excellent piece. As Carville might have had it, it's the employers, stupid.

New post just out: "Burnham's first mistake" Splitting 14 year olds into academic and vocational paths seems intuitive. But it's a terrible idea that risks increasing inequality, and closing down options for the young people that need them most. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/b...

OK, yes, this particular detail had passed me by. That is out of order. Completely.

Worth responding to this 'on main.' If Wilson's review had made all of the same analytical points, concluded that the movie wasn't for her and that it was a weak adaptation, that'd be one thing. Instead, she wrote, "I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script." That's different!

Ugh. Stand just came on. That was when I dropped R E. M. like a hot brick. I really hate that song. And yes, I know it was just one big stupid song as I think Stipe described it. I can't help it it makes me want to break things So I've put Murmur on instead, then Reckoning and just maybe Fables…

Has to be the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Absolutely off-the-scale levels of fuckwittedness. I think now Google is actively trying to pollute every clean information source on the internet.

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Blimey, this is starting to put Zelensky in a bit of a spot.

The Kyiv Independent

Ukrainians gathered in Kyiv on July 31 for what organizers described as a "march for dialogue and reforms in defense," renewing demands that President Volodymyr Zelensky reinstate former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory Here's tonight's dinner. Wiener Schnitzel, some kind of fries (NB they are *not* chips), potato salad (very much not what I had in mind), a bottle of Muszynianka, and Daddies sauce. ,

#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory I love it when something goes right. For reasons, I have to unplug my soundcard. No music? Well yes, actually. I've figured out how to stream the music that's playing on my laptop to my phone. So I don't have to stop listening to what I was listening to already. 😁

#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory This is a big one. I received a parcel from a uni friend who wanted to come when my other friend did, but he's too ill, unfortunately. Anyway, he sent me 2 2CD REM albums, because when we were together at uni, he picked them up from me and loves them. >>

#NFWHealth My arm is FUCKING SORE, but apparently that's normal. Somehow the morphine isn't working on it. At least when it gets touched or I have to reach with my left arm. Which turns out to be a lot. 😭

OK, so here's my Miserable Old Git post for today. Every time I use the washing-up sponge, when I've finished I wring it out and put in the same place. Every time R. uses the washing-up sponge, it ends up only the gods on high know where and full of dirty washing-up water. >>

#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory Just realised that now I've managed to change my chemo days, I am now officially free for the Hammill gig in September. Whoop whoop. That's the victory. The bad news is, sorry for TMI, I've got the trots aGAIN. More changing bedsheets and bedsheets and olfactory distress
