I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It's not left-right politics, it's the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

Reich calls out the Führer, there's a headline that writes itself.

The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people's lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.

I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.

The article basically boils down to the obvious 'don't take what you see on social media at face value, do some research' and isn't a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.

Exquisite Monty Python reference. Bravo!

That billboard has more game than the entire Stadia catalog

Can I interest you in my new investment venture? It's essentially Kitty Ozempic. We're predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.

If you watched this and enjoyed it, there is a Micro Men 10th Anniversary retrospective chat with Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser from The Centre for Computing History.

Although the dramatisation is mildly apocryphal, it does capture really well the entrepreneurship and rivalry of microcomputer development in the UK in the 1980s. I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.

I bet you could make that look awesome! As a graphic designer I really dig the Sun logo - bold, simple, clever.

Yeah, I totally get your point here and I agree. I am also emotionally traumatised by the damage that has been done to my SEN children being shoehorned into a school system that does not have the funding, facilities, training or compassion to treat them as people, much less to help them fulfil their potential.

I did not expect that seeing that interface would take me back in time as hard as it did. Oof! Memories.

So brave! I'm sure his action will have a deep and wide ranging impact /s

No, but Clarkson is a genuine right-wing, rage-baiting mouthpiece

But by the method you use in your first 2 examples, you start with the digit to the left of the barcode, reading digits 1, 2 and 3 of the 13-digit code. In your USA example, you start with the digit inside the barcode and read digits 2, 3 and 4 of the 13-digit code.

Following the same rule as your European examples would give 509, not 099, no?

Speaking from experience, forcing disabled kids into settings that are not equipped to help them survive, let alone thrive, in education has been a recipe for disaster as it is. I don't see how doing more of it will make it any better for the kids.

But then we know it's not for the benefit of the kids, is it?

I've loved the SGI industrial design since I first saw it in the 90s. It still feels futuristic to me today.

Is that the Hank Cocaine who's friends with Steve Buttstuff?

Is that not just in the vegan pornos though? Fuck cream, fuck cheese, fuck meat, etc.
