I am amazed by the “Twitter will collapse without any engineers” discussion. It reminds me of ayn rand’s galt - we withdraw our work and society collapses, or the Russian railway workers in 1917, refusing to carry troops to Petrograd.

when I first moved to ireland one thing that amazed me was dealing with UK institutions that were shaky on the idea of other countries existing. I have now encounted the Irish version - the assumption that everyone has a PPS number.

Watching Liz Truss at the cenotaph and it occurs she’s got like 50 years ahead of her attending state events as Former Prime Minister, a permanent reminder of the thing where she blew up her one shot at the top in 50 days flat. It’s like some kind of punishment from a Greek myth
