I'm re-reading Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. I'd forgotten there's a section on how, during such crises, people become prone to irrational beliefs and charlatans promoting, for want of a better expression, 'conspiracy theories' and anti-scientific ideas, and how these obsessional beliefs engender paranoia and the threat of group violence against 'non believers'. Maybe it's just something that (some) humans do in such times...

Did you know 26th September is the most common birthday in the UK? It falls a little over 39 weeks after Christmas Day, which is why. Anyway, you should probably buy whoever has that birthday a gift. Here's some ideas... vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/

Been lucky enough to see a preview copy of Liz Truss's new book and it's an absolute knockout I can tell you…

Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

The queen died a year ago today. This was a standout moment, may this tweet always live in our collective memories.

Okay this is messing with my head.

Arkansas borders 6 states and it's possible to travel south to enter all of them.
