Tripe Marketing Board

Over on Twitter, one of our interns accidentally tweeted this image which purports to be an advert from the 1930s, thinking it was real.
It rapidly spread to Facebook and Instagram, becoming the most popular tripe-based image in history.
Fortunately, that kind of thing wouldn't happen on Mastodon as folk here are a bit smarter, and they'd recognise the font used as one that wasn't introduced until the 1960s.

I think the qoto.org being added to someone's naughty list thing is biting me in the friends' list. My mate Steph @vollans can't see me despite the connection and waving and wotnot. What to do, what to do? 🤔

I am envious of the Germans, buying and reading this lovely series of books by the brilliant Rudolf Simek. Volume four, Märchensagas, is now out. Sigh. (Please UK or US publishers, do a translated edition?)

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

I haven't done an intro. I'm not going to. I'm sorry if that's poor etiquette but honestly, I never know what to say and I either end up coming over as boring or boastful (or possibly both), so knickers to it. I'm me, you'll learn if you care and if you don't nothing's lost. Have a lovely day x

Probably not going to talk about this on Twitter (good lord that site is toxic) but it really does suck that the world’s richest man had a whim and now suddenly people who rely on it for income just… can’t anymore.

Books don’t actually pay that well, but I was able to cut down to 4 days at my day job, 1 day to write books (something I’m proud of!) but looking at followers drop off, I think that’s now just gone.

This was a fun first toot huh

Two more days of my current role then I switch to something with a later morning alarm. Oh sure, the job content will change dramatically too but it's the alarm time change I'm focussing on right now. *yawn*

Rishi Sunak's spokesman tells me that the Prime Minister has a "zero-tolerance" approach to bullying, but is then unable to explain why he decided to appoint Gavin Williamson, despite being aware of bullying allegations against him.

I don’t think all the people who are saying “if you don’t want to be a nurse then leave” realise that’s exactly what’s happening. 40,000 nurses left the workforce last year - who’s going to replace them if we don’t improve pay and working conditions?

I think one thing that bothers me a lot with anything tech related is that while, yes, a lot of things can definitely have improved UX that is more user friendly, a lot of other things already have great UX that has been polished for years but gets a lot of undeserved criticism simply for being different from the status quo and/or requiring even the smallest amount of learning or effort

and I honestly entirely blame corporations that over the last 20 years have done everything to create walled gardens with the promise of "we do everything for you, if you have to think while using a computer that means it's bad"
and it's terrifying how well that worked on so so so many people

sometimes things just require you to sit down for half an hour, read something, learn something, try something you're not used to. that's normal. that is simply how anything even remotely advanced has worked for the thousands of years. you don't pick up an electric drill and throw a tantrum because it doesn't work exactly like a screwdriver. computers are a tool that let you do things, and just like any other tool, may require putting at least the smallest amount of effort into learning something

it's honestly frustrating how normalized "nuh uh i got adopted by [corporation's walled garden] and this is where i live for the rest of my life. anything even slightly different is just bad. why would I ever consider anything else, that's effort and effort is bad" has become

I understand that habits can be very strong, and I get it, adjusting to new things takes time, but it's not the end of the world. "more complex" doesn't necessarily mean "worse", it just means you would need to learn and adjust. teaching math at school doesn't stop at pre-algebra, it goes all the way to trigonometry and calculus because there's a good reason for it to be more complicated than the basics. learn something new, it's good for you.
