Just talking with my wife who was canvassed earlier by a local election candidate. They can't call into houses flying the national flag due to fear of assault. All this far right galvanisation is due to decades of neoliberal governments turning a blind eye to everything but the growth of business. Now we have angry electorates getting their information from algorithms which are created by exactly those businesses beloved of those neoliberal governments

@ronanmcd It took 46 years to get a bus stop where my parents live. They get 100% of the traffic from the new North Runway every 2 minutes. Internet is 6mb when it works, their road is a motorway sliproad now and tent city is now their problem. The place is a dumping ground and infrastructure is scabby at best.

Oh you thought colonialism ended?

"More French police arrive in New Caledonia amid riots
French High Commissioner Louis Le Franc said reinforcements had been deployed to "regain control of all the areas of the urban area that we have lost".

The unrest erupted this week after lawmakers in Paris backed and approved changes to voting rolls that the indigenous population say will dilute their political influence."

@divya It is a French territory in the Pacific Ocean between Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. And before you get on your high horse I checked before posting and I am from a former British colony not the US.

@davep Woman is at her husband's funeral. A man walks up to her and says "So sorry for your loss. Mind if I say a word?" and she says "No go right ahead." The man gets up to the podium and says "Plethora." With tears in her eyes, the widow says "Thanks. That means a lot."

Crushing products of any kind, but particularly those associated with creativity, in the days of over-consumption and AI coming for the arts after ripping off those artists, is just tone deaf. should pull their ad and apologise.

The realist, centrist, fence sitting adults in the room who have been in charge for decades have brought us austerity inevitably followed by divisive nationalism, an increased far right, and climate on the brink. It's their lack of foresight, and worship of economic growth that has pushed my vote away from the centre.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

I'm having coffee in Wicklow. There's a stocky guy with a goatee talking to a young man about getting a media degree, because "we need to get a global foothold in this stuff. Most of those guys are funded by the Americans. And we are up against the new Taoiseach" I can't hear most of it, but it's intriguing...

Every once in a while this happens, and I'm definitely not complaining, but over the last 3 days the daily downloads of Minimum Competence have been 4-5x the usual.

I often wonder if we're getting mentioned somewhere or something. The page views aren't up appreciably, so it seems like the listeners are coming in straight via the audio RSS feed.

Some aggregator featuring us maybe?

Voting for Biden means you have the freedom to vote for another president in 4 years.

Voting for Trump means you lose that very freedom.

@Strandjunker a vote for trump is a vote for putin

So instead of an apology for not getting back to speakers about their submitted talks, try to use it as an opportunity to hustle conference tickets.

Last week I learned about windshield wiper fluid tablets. You drop one in a gallon of tapwater and a few minutes later you have a gallon of wiper fluid. I swear I don't know why everyone doesn't use these. I bought a pack of 25 tabs (makes 25 gallons) for about the cost of a gallon of wiper fluid and I just put the rest of the tube in the car so I'll have it when I need it. https://amzn.to/3w8ZRDD

@kfury US gallons are smaller than UK gallons and both are incomprehensible to the rest of the metric world
