I do always enjoy it when a Duplass Brother appears though. Why not, chuck one in. Was it Mark or Jay? That's like asking which Chuckle is Paul and which is Barry. It's irrelevant. To me. And to you.

Always good to have your response to a consultation immediately ready to go. Suggests you've definitely engaged with the results of the consultation and that the entire thing wasn't a waste of time.

Apropos of nothing, just something I think about a lot: During the worst pandemic in a century, lots of people told a bunch of outrageous lies that caused much, much more death. It was one of the more grotesque moral crimes I've ever witnessed & zero (0) of those involved faced any consequences.

not even software works like software otherwise all those software engineering practices would produce good software, which they demonstrably do not

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

this is the most meta thing i've ever seen

The government don't need to build every software system in-house, but it does need enough employees who are good enough at building software that they can tell good contracts from bad, and hold contractors accountable

We all laughed at Apple Maps for having errors, but Google Maps now straight up lies to you… for pennies. I’ve switched.

Nick Clegg unveiled a portrait of himself at the National Liberal Club yesterday and it's hard to tell which one looks less like Nick Clegg, the portrait of Nick Clegg or the actual Nick Clegg

I never, ever, want to open a link using an in-app browser btw

I think it's probably fine to put the chatbot that not even Walmart trusts inside the largest nuclear armed military on earth to the tune of about $200M, after all we all have universal single payer healthcare, free higher education, and a robust UBI
