Some truly inspiring words from @feliciaday@twitter.com at #mcmcomicon on the importance of diversity in fandom - and on hair.
On the DLR to Excel centre for MCM Comic-Con with a load of cosplayers. Pretty sure they just announced “next station, Star Labs.”
Speaking to a 13-year-old just now :
"Do you use the web on that [tablet]?"

"Right."
"Uh... Yeah." (like I just asked them "do you breathe air?")
As a ¼ Irish person and as a feminist, so happy to see the way the #repealthe8th vote went! #Repealed 🇮🇪

Just re-watching a talk I gave almost 3 years ago at @DevTalksRo@twitter.com on the rise of HTTPS, and the influence that the STRINT workshop had on this movement: https://www.w3.org/2014/strint/draft-iab-strint-report.html So much progress has been made since then: https://internethealthreport.org/2018/encrypted-websites-have-become-the-norm/ https://youtu.be/fxVGWQ83bBI?t=6m5s
Today's "inspiring quote of the day" at work (yes, this is a thing): "The world breaks everyone, and afterwards, some are strong at the broken places." (attributed to Ernest Hemingway). Jeez. 😟
"Brexit: UK's 'strong objections' to Galileo sat-nav exclusion" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44232269 [More "project fear"? No, this is what happens when you shoot yourself in the foot. Expect more unless we #StopBrexit.]
Seems like everyone in the Tube is in a particularly pissy mood this morning. Is there some kind of bad juju vortex hovering over London? Maybe I'm just projecting.

I'm going to stop meeting people at Starbucks in downtown Seattle. The off-by-one errors are killing me. "No, that Starbucks, the one 50 feet away at the same address..."

Re-watched Age of Ultron. It was better than I remembered. Also it was fun piecing together the premonitions of the films that came after.
