I think a lot about this one from a decade or so ago: “I think the queen should be executed and replaced as head of state by Pliers out of Chaka Demus & Pliers. It may not be a popular opinion, but last time I checked this was a free country. Pliers out of Chaka Demus & Pliers”

The male lionesses are into the euro finals. They are following in the footsteps of their idols, the 2022 Lionesses.

People from Manchester- does anyone remember a record shop in the 80s in the corner of Shambles Sq? Safeways end. Everyone I’ve asked has no memory of it and I can’t find anything online. Don’t think it was there for long but I definitely went in it a few times.

🤔 If I say that I think the USA can build an EV for under $22K, no one calls me an optimist. That we can convert SF offices to SF apartments, no one calls me an optimist. That we can make Tech equitable, so that 50% of us are women, not an optimist.

Someone from @piersmorgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

I've been frustrated by `git branch` for 15 years now, so I finally wrote a bash script that is what that command probably should be - ordered by last commit, ahead/behind info, descriptions. Download and set it up as an alias to live life how you deserve gist.github.com/schacon/e9e7…
