Medusa was raped, punished/cursed for her own rape, and then murdered by Perseus for harming men who came to harm her. He mounted her head as a trophy. A statue with her holding his head instead is an embodiment of women finally, finally *taking* the justice they’ve been denied.

I'm now imagining @JamieTanna causing trouble as he blogs about what you're doing in the middle of a mission and the enemy just subscribes to his feed to know what you're all planning.

"Come to hospital and stand in a giant queue in a tiny corridor so we can check you don't have covid before your operation" THIS IS GOING WELL

Now my covid test is done, I have to shield until the operation on Monday. Which means an NHS-mandated three days indoors without other humans. Oh no, how will I cope 😂

Engineers are supposed to be practical but we do so much ineffective bullshit. There's no point creating a reusable abstraction if it ends up hard to use. There's no point arguing about perf if you dont have a representative benchmark. Hold your own beliefs accountable please
