I make the same mistake typing in my PGP passphrase so often that I should just change it to the "wrong" one.

My terminal is like a weird text adventure.

You have been eaten by a grue.

But WHY, slack, WHY?? WHHHYYYYYYY

Oh good, the minister who will represent us at COP26 is a strong supporter of airport expansion. Well done everyone.

You know you're on the right side of things when XKCD agrees with what you've been saying for years. https://xkcd.com/2267/ #NoYouDontNeedABlockchainForThat

Wow. I'm applying for developer access to a certain website so I can write something to use it for OAuth, and I have to basically do an interview. There are exercises I have to pass. This is a new one on me.

I'm developing a bit of a PlantUML addiction. Send help.

The UK is diminished today. No matter the actual outcome of the deal, we have belitted ourselves. But those of us who can see beyond our own little corner of the world still have a job to do to make it a better place. We can’t give up.

I'm sure I'm being thick, but I can't find any docs on sharing steps between jobs in GitHub Actions. I have two jobs, `test` and `lint`, which have the same setup steps, and I don't want to copy and paste. Anyone?

From one xeno to another...

For the evening crew pissed off about the collapse of progressive UK politics; we can’t get it back by doing the same things. Come talk to us about building something new instead. https://join.slack.com/t/somethingnewuk/shared_invite/enQtODYwODg4Mzk2NjExLTJmOTc0MjQwNzFmMzE4OGZhMjM4OTM3OGQ0MGMyYjAwZmJiZjVhZWFjYmRhYzFmNGQzNDZiYzIzYjZmNGZhNTU

If you'd like to talk about Something New and what we're building, I've opened up a Slack workspace for it. Join at https://join.slack.com/t/somethingnewuk/shared_invite/enQtODYwODg4Mzk2NjExLTJmOTc0MjQwNzFmMzE4OGZhMjM4OTM3OGQ0MGMyYjAwZmJiZjVhZWFjYmRhYzFmNGQzNDZiYzIzYjZmNGZhNTU.

There was only one shirt choice for today.

(In all this, once again, despite being an immensely safe seat, Horsham still hasn't declared. We're like the anti-Sunderland)

And to all those people thinking "let's build a new party" PAUSE RIGHT THERE. There are plenty out there, not just us. Help them. But build something DIFFERENT. Don't build the same thing again with the same limitations.

I honestly don't know what the fuck we're doing, but someone has to build something different. And with your help maybe we will.

Take all that anger, all that frustration, forget the old parties, and let's work together to build the future. Join in with Something New. It’ll be hard, but apparently we don’t have a choice. https://somethingnew.org.uk #GeneralElection2019
