Today's test of the UK emergency broadcast system is going to be disappointing, isn't it? I mean, I have become excited by the geek aspects of the whole thing - but the wall-to-wall coverage has really built this up now to the point of hype. It's a shame, we had wine in and were planning a "emergency alert party"

Tailscale is amazing. But you already knew that, right? There’s nothing more satisfying than being able to set up a secure network in seconds, almost like magic — except maybe realizing it’s Friday when you thought it was Thursday, but I digress.

Exciting news! Yesterday, $86 million in settlement checks were sent out to women covered in our class action against Google. All women deserve equal pay for equal work. PERIOD. I am really proud of my role in making them PAY UP!!

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is: "La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." or: "The right oppresses, the left liberates."
