Good morning, Brenda and friends. Have a great Thursday, everyone.

Woodworker, computer programmer, photographer & Anglo/Francophone. Anti-Brexit. Live in the UK as of a couple of weeks back. A bit of a radical socialist with green leanings.
Just seen a dentist in the UK for the first time in 30 years. Why did she talk to me like I'm an idiot and why did she feel the need to shout the whole time! I may be 76 but I'm not deaf, nor am I stupid!
Charlie boy looks like he's on death's door in this pic!
As a software engineer, back in the late 1990s, I wrote a utility using C#, SQL Server & MS Word, that harvested the names & email addresses of computer contract agencies recruiting people with my skills from my daily Jobserve emails and emailed a short note with a CV attached to every one of them.
I'll bet Twatter and Lies Social are both extremely quiet this morning.
TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · 3d agoOn the weekend, Ukraine struck Russian data centres and, as a result, brought down some (measurable!) 50% of far-right / hate message activity on social media, coming from bot farms. My favourite comment by an actual human being:
Much of the coverage today is absolutely nuts. The facts are on Wikipedia. The full Intelligence and Security Committee (Russia) Report is online. Tory media & politicians once again banking on their average consumer/voter being too daft/busy/blinkered to notice...
Arthur Snell@snellarthur.bsky.social · 4d agoBritish Conservatives: "Russia has disgracefully interfered in politics in France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and invaded Ukraine. They even meddled in the US elections." Also British Conservatives: "What? Russia! Interfere in Brexit? Ridiculous! Just a tired old conspiracy theory."
Same here. I refuse to say his name, watch, or listen to him.
