If it’s 75° outside, it only takes 10 minutes to reach 75° in the car. But if it’s 75° outside, it takes fully 30 minutes to get to 75° in the car. Good to know.

'As the likely next government, Labour has a historic opportunity to modernise UK democracy and rebuild trust in politics. We call on Labour to make a public commitment within their first 100 days in office to implement Proportional Representation (PR). Doing so will demonstrate their support for a modern democracy that works for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.'

Both Cameron and Schapps have unexpectedly called short their overseas trips and returned to the UK. Now Hunt has pulled out of a television appearance tonight.

Don't tell me Sir Beige Starmer is just as bad as Richie Rich Sunak. He isn't. I'm not saying he's going to be good. He isn't good. But he will categorically not be as bad for as many people as the Tories.
Would we do better under a different system? Yes.
Will some things improve less than we would all like? Yes.
Are there some policies where Labour isn't much different from the Tories? A few.

It's still going to be a HUGE improvement to the vast majority.

All right, let's start timing when those emails come in. Or, to put it another way, how prepared were all the various parties and political movements.

Election was announced at 17.17.

Let's go. When did those emails start hitting my inbox?

Oh, fedi. Do I have a tale of internet stupidity for you.

This is the story of me trying – and repeatedly failing – to set myself up to advertise my books on Facebook.

If you can't see it (or just don't want to click the link)…
At a pro-Palestinian protest in Amsterdam last week, riot police violently broke up an encampment of students seeking boycotts and divestment from any company that profits off of Israeli genocide or apartheid. In the commotion, a police K9 lunged for an officer’s arm and refused to let go. Such dogs are typically trained to attack the aggressor.

After some issues, I installed an #ebook reader on the Palm m105 I bought recently. This evening, I used it to read Past Imperfect by @clacksee while waiting for eldest to finish at Scouts.

What’s the cardinal role of being an author? What’s the first thing you learn?

Even if you’re not an author yourself, you’ve probably seen enough instances of to know this one.

His email is a passive-aggressive tirade. It’s a wall of ‘thank you so much’.

Here’s just a little snippet.

And yeah, anyone who puts cis in all caps… Totes no red flags here.

This book is being published by one of the top 5 publishing houses. I’m just some indie author no one cares about. I bet it makes him feel really good getting all up on his soap box at me.

Whatever, my dude.

Anyways, that’s all.

Sorry to get your hopes up. There’s not really any story here. This feels anticlimactic. Like, there should be more of a punchline. But there isn’t. Just some random guy being a bit twatty.

Also, this is the UK. You’re not Caucasian, mate. Not unless you’re from the Caucasus region.

You’re White. Just like me.

It's tomorrow now and I'm still thinking about this. This guy went through my entire website and critiqued it. He sought me out. He went off at me for having the audacity to give an honest review of his book.

Because I gave him 3 stars. I mean, how very dare I?

I'm not even going to get into why he, of all people, should know better. Based on what I know about him (from his email and from his public bio).
