I was an expert in analog modem connections. Could troubleshoot and get them connected, a highly prized skill at the time.
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
When I was a security guard 40+ years ago, a number of posts had manual elevators. I got very good at getting the elevator to line up perfectly with the floor at which I wanted to exist.

"Gareth Sheridan went to Tucker Carlson's Christmas party" is already crazy, but "Gareth Sheridan took a photo with the world's most famous antisemitic conspiracy theorist, then voluntarily posted it on the Internet" is blowing my fucking mind

Went to the Keep Left event this evening (was invited to do a display). Very positive panel discussion and the possibility of a Left transfer pact... I'd imagine we're unlikely to see anything more concrete than that between now and the by-elections.
Could a common platform be built?

But be accidently overpaid by the Dept of Social Protection and they will hound you to claw every cent back.
And call you a fraudster while doing it.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

NEW | Israel’s settlers and army crushed Palestine’s 2025 olive harvest. Farmers were barred from their groves, hit with 167 settler attacks, and locked out of 25,000 dunams. Output collapsed to just 7–8k tonnes — the worst in decades — deepening hardship and accelerating land theft.
