@cstross Edinburgh Council has long hated cars and the filthy proles who have to drive them, instead of being middle class twats who can afford to live close to the office, work half days, and cycle or be driven to work by a chauffeur.

Ugh.

Awake at this hour. I have a training course again. For something I have done four times already in the last two years. Fucking tickbox exercises.

And I've got to go South of the Border to do it too. Across the Rio Esk. To the uncivilised lands.

I tell you, I can't wait for the day I need a passport and visa for this trip.

Saw this and immediately wondered if the sound a parent made stepping on it in the dark in ancient times is the same noise we'd make today

@ElleGray What does "nyargle" sound like in the language and accent of Ur?

@dianeduane strikes again :D

It's again my post about Terry #Pratchett and the soup ads

@kyonshi

One gets the feeling, with , that the real sticking point was that "the company would not promise not to do it again", but if they'd apologised and made that promise. Well, Terry would have probably quietly admired their chutzpah. The adverts would have had to stop, been apologised for, but he'd have probably let them keep the licence to print the books. Or maybe not. You never could tell with Terry.

Revealed: thousands of ‘innocent and abandoned’ migrant care workers told to leave UK - https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/11/migrant-care-workers-told-to-leave-uk "workers whose sponsoring company had been sanctioned were also being punished" cruel in the extreme - just how tories like it

@glynmoody

There is a type of Tory who sees this and thinks: good. Because the cruelty is the point even in itself.

Then there is dumber one who defends this by saying that at least it means UK people will get all the jobs and that anyone signing on down the jobcentre can now go be a carer and fill in the gap. Ignoring that no, not everyone can be a carer. It is a much harder job than the tories think it is or reimburse it as.

Both types of tories are assholes.

Praise me, for I have done just over twenty seven thousand steps today. That is just a hair under ten miles worth of walking. That has to be worth a beer's worth of calories; Right? Right?
