Friday night beverage! A Negroni but instead of sweet vermouth it's equal parts dry vermouth and this lovely blackberry whisky liqueur my sister got me. Garnished with sunglasses because it's a cool drink 😎

Wishing you all the best possible weekend. SlΓ‘inte! πŸ₯‚

I had never heard of Turtle Cheesecake but upon looking it up I realise it is something that has been missing from my life 😍

We asked you to name "something you would avoid putting your genitals in". Our survey said:

1. Bear
2. Hippo
3. Zipper

Fair play to you for trying! Just had a go myself and tbh I don't think it does our noble equine friends justice

Hm maybe, not sure if I have the artistic vision to make that a reality 😞

PowerPoint slide that says "Rule 4: Arrays should not grow without bounds". Below is a crude Sharpie drawing of a man and a giant blob labelled "Array". The man is pointing at the blob and saying "you are getting too big". The array blob is saying "sorry".

My lecture slide artwork is not improving but at least I hope it shows I care πŸ’œ

Hm yeah, now that I think about it my Friday emails are usually follow-ups to the "oh fuck off" emails I ignored earlier in the week.

Oh really? Perhaps it's an invididual ratio but I hope we can find some generalisability 🧐

06.03.2026 19:45 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I have a hypothesis that the ratio of total emails I receive per day to the emails that make me say "oh fuck off" out loud peaks on Monday and gradually declines through the rest of the week.

Feel free to join me in my analysis! This is the best idea I've had for a paper in a while. πŸ˜…

I (and shirley others like me) would be delighted to purchase violent-techbro-death-fiction (ideally gorily illustrated) as some form of catharsis from our current hellscape 😍πŸͺ“
