Whatever you do in your career, always keep learning new things and stay on top of your soft skills

Copyright law is not complicated at all. If you want to use an author's work you need to ask for permission. If you use it without permission you're breaking the law. It's so simple. It'll be incredibly difficult for us, and for other affected industries, to take on Meta, but we'll have a good go!

(Btw if you don't really care, that's ok, you don't need to tell me. Use that energy to fight for things you do care about) ❤️❤️

You can oppose assisted suicide & be compassionate
You can oppose & be an atheist - or not
You can oppose & support choice
You can oppose & not be cruel
You can oppose & have witnessed suffering
You can oppose & have empathy
You can oppose because you're concerned about this Bill

I haven't posted on Twitter. Things have changed here, and not for the better either

I'll be posting more often on Threads. With an underscore on the end, my handle is johnjowens_

Been playing Myst for the first time. An old game from 1993.
Hells bells, there's a lot of clues to remember. There's no inventory to review clues. Luckily, I have my smartphone to take pictures.
I feel bad for the sods who played this back in 1993! :D

The more I think about it, this is a wider issue. Why is it Team GB and Paralympics GB? Why don’t we compete under the same name like Team France did at the Olympics/Paralympics. And why were we at Buckingham Palace in tracksuits, when the Olympians were provided suits?

Virginia Madsen remembers her "Candyman" co-star Tony Todd, who has died at the age of 69.

"The great actor Tony Todd has left us and now is an angel. As he was in life. More later but I can’t right now. I love you." https://t.co/5JUNiJlwEf

When you use Google, did you know, in the search field, if you put a football team name and then add score e.g. celtic score. An animation will appear showing raised hands as if they're celebrating
