–Written Chinese vs English–

I’m fascinated by the evolution of chinese and english “spelling.” I grew up on hard-to-read Ye Olde English, and assumed all languages were like that. Imagine my shock when I discovered the chinese language had been standardised since 221BC, and I can read words written in the Han Dynasty.

Unless you vote on behalf of all of us.

Don’t forget climate policies, which will really affect everyone.

This is Freya. She’s about three years old and was rescued from a hoarding situation. She spent the f...

If anyone ever wanted to know how we thought Y2K would go, all you have to do is look at the CrowdStrike disaster that’s happening right now because this is a level of “we didn’t test this patch in a sterile environment” I have never seen in my entire life

My low self esteem may make me feel like a failure but at least I’ve never pushed to prod a patch on a Friday that globally turbofucked a billion different business sectors and caused 70% of all air travel to come to a...
