@rbkc.gov.uk Nearly got hit by a car because you still haven't installed pedestrian crossings at Battersea Bridge. People have died here, but there's still no safe way to cross from the north-west.

'He can't be a fascist unless he contradicts the Constitution' is utterly meaningless in global terms. Words have meanings which are recognised internationally by political scientists, but the Constitution is essentially just vague words designed to affirm whatever the government decides.

Just finished series one of 'Severance'. It's good, but why did it take nine hours to tell the first 90 minutes of a film?

Working at a cinema isn't all crouching by a project to see when to adjust the lights. But sometimes it's exactly that.

Casey Newton @caseynewton.bsky.social · Jan 12

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.
