Yes, in a nutshell. Tenet looks lovely, but the time consistency is appalling. The physics is also broken, and the whole thing just becomes a mess if you start thinking about it. There are very few consistent time travel films. Back to the Future is good, and the TV series Dark handles it brilliantly.

They are already sucking at Microslop’s AI-encrusted teat. It’s a major UK university, and there used to be a mix of systems, with a lot of really good functional software written in-house. Over the past decade, as they have been retired, they were replaced with MS-based turd-rolled-in-glitter ecosystems that drive me up the wall. The old stuff wasn’t pretty, but it worked and did all you needed and no more. It now feels like some sort of Rube Goldberg machine with fireworks.

I have to use Jira at work. It’s fucking awful.

This is impressive technology which has the potential to benefit humans by having things like robot firemen who just walk into flaming buildings and rescue people.

But who am I kidding? Tech companies will just it to cut jobs in order to enrich themselves and make everyone else poorer.

Humour doesn’t punch down. That’s just bullying.

We have to get lucky every time. They only have to get lucky once.

It tastes like chicken.

Been using it for a couple of decades now. It just keeps getting better. You can’t say that about many things these days.

Google’s “don’t be evil” was like a warrant canary. It didn’t need to be precise, it just needed to be there.

Start drinking good beer. Cook some nice meals. Don’t be afraid to treat yourself to nice things.

Stop buying your whisky from dodgy people round the back of stables.

Just a reminder that the 9/11 attackers did it with knives.
