Look at the strange and beautiful bathroom sink in this hotel I am in.

Featuring an end to the block's building work, a gig, a swap to using Godot to escape enshitification of the tech, and everything falling apart in this gin soaked normal island.

Jurors should understand they have an absolute right to return a perverse verdict for any reason whatsoever, and that most climate protestors are barred from mentioning that they are climate protestors.
That the court hides the rights of jurors from jurors is insane.
You are the last line of defense against corrupt laws people. Defend against them.

nostr:npub1p836djc5vp7sdzjxzzw3vfyen6ceuhekz78wz6lac7yc8yh77cxsz4v48v I think I know more people with read-only twitter accounts than people who actually post on Twitter.
Only Twitter will know if those accounts actually log in and read posts, but at least some of them will be.
Oh hai little fellow.
"Experts" are "warning" that higher wage rises than expected might "force" the bank to raise interest rates.
Don't you understand? Your real-terms pay-cut is a knife at the throat of the bankers! They will have no choice, none, but to ensure you stay impoverished by other means if you won't impoverish yourself with pay-cuts.
How dare you force the bank's hand like this you unfeeling monster!?
When Channel Four first launched the show "Big Brother" I thought, that name is going to corrupt the meaning of the Orwellian phrase.
Little did I expect the more lasting consequences.
Copy-cat shows piped up, and since the stars were so talentless they were incredibly cheap to make.
When it became so cheap and engaging to make Reality TV that no other types of TV could be justified, we passed the Reality TV event horizon. They saturated the culture with mass-drivel.
Soon, the only people who could be elected president or prime minister or even MPs were the kind of vapid uninteresting nobodies that reality TV feeds upon. First Trump, then Johnson, and then all the others.
Not only did they saturate our airwaves, now the reality TV stars also filled the corridors of power.
The end was inevitable after that. The mega-scale problems facing our civilization would have been difficult even with our best minds unleashing our utmost effort. Instead we had reality TV stars arguing about conspiracies directing effort at walls and garden-bridges and vanity projects.
It is too late for our world now.
I broadcast this message to the galaxy only in the hope that any who find it can avoid this terrible memetic hazard for their own culture.
Burn this planet, and never let the phrase "Reality TV" be uttered in all your galactic empire. It is the kind of mind-virus that can collapse civilizations.

The character limits on Twitter were because it was an SMS app. Everything else just copied them.
Then it became a flag the community united under, so they couldn't change it even when they stopped being an SMS app and became primarily web.
The limits were always silly and frustrating. I hated them, and they stopped enforcing brevity when they invented threads anyway.
45% of voters in Uxbridge still think they're best off voting Conservative!?
After all that's happened, all the ways the Conservatives show they don't give a fuck about anybody else, they still want tory rule.
People are saying it's coz of the mayor's ultra-low-emission-zone extension. The people *really* want to keep pumping poison into the air and giving kids lung diseases. They get so mad when they are told they have to pay a charge to poison children. Like *really* angry.
Weird thing is, Ulez is a Boris Johnson scheme, and the extension to greater London was forced on the Mayor by a Conservative government.
So they're voting for the conservatives who started and extended the scheme in order to protest the Labour mayor who was forced into doing tory bidding.
#ukpol is screwy.

Interesting that Boris Johnson is refusing to hand over his whatsapp message history while also the government is insisting that cops must have the keys to all encrypted messages and that all message clients should have copbot scanning built in.
If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear I guess?
