My friend found this and posted it elsesocial so I'm posting it here because it is glorious.

@miriamrobern I was in work one day taking a break when two women had a SERIOUS argument about pockets. It almost came to blows.

I’ve been re-reading all my history books about the Nazis. One thing that strikes me is how hard it was to fight back against Nazism from inside. The normative culture is so strong and everybody is just going along. Ordinary folks, with denouncing their neighbours to the Gestapo. The Gestapo was tiny only 32k. It was the ordinary people that were informing on their neighbours. Ordinary people enabled Nazism.

@kcarruthers We watched Nazi Russia form right in front of our eyes and did nothing

There's a passage in Sartre's article about how fascists aren't really interested in rational argument where he describes the fascist ending the conversation and "indicating by lofty phrases that the moment for talking has passed."

I think this kind of moment is more common than many people realise. If you're a marginalised person you'll have lots of experience of people with power over you just silently indicating they are going to do something to you.

The time to talk has passed.

Potatoes O’Brien. Only ever come across this in breakfast buffets in the Caribbean. Is it a thing anywhere else in the world?

@Loukas @purplepadma @RickiTarr Potatoes originated in the Americas. Halloween came from Ireland and stolen by the Americans. So stop with the potato shit please.

@Wraithe I have been forced into zoom meetings where they had their camera off and I had to have mine on. A joke

"unstoppable favourite" this is exactly why I'm against awards and prizes in creative work. It turns out into a sport. And the ones that don't get awarded are seen as less worthy, something which is almost never the case. It makes audiences focus on what is deemed good, and stupid then seeking and funding what they like

I'm in a student union bar having a coffee. Nik Kershaw is on, following Level 42 and A-ha. My youth is so distant it's becoming a quasi-fictional world for young people to imagine.

It's great that everyone is clutching their pearls in over the proposed Metrolink drilling. It's as if we didn't go through all this in 2001-2007 when the port tunnel was being drilled and none of the Northside Nostradamuses were correct

@ronanmcd To be fair to the lads they were working blind as a lot of the services weren't marked on any of the service maps that the council gave them so when they hit a water main they didn't know it was there because it wasn't marked. The Luas had to reroute thousands of pipes and wires because it cannot be dug under

@ronanmcd I don't agree with them but on the other hand we flooded every basement we could find building the Luas, especially down near Jervis

@ronanmcd Amateur hour all day long. There are some professionals and I am hoping things have improved but from my experiences with Irish officials across a range of departments is that making shit up as you go along is the norm and if you can make shit up and then throw this shit at the public thats a win.

@ronanmcd the airport noise thing being one of them. Wrote to McEntee and told her that she won’t get any votes under that flight path, folks have hundreds of planes overhead just as they retire

I suspect the death of Navalny was the final straw for leaders who thought there was the tiniest hope that Russia could change.

Putin is all-in, he has no successor other than an ugly power struggle between people worse than Putin, there is no semi-decent, democratically inclined replacement in the wings. And Putin knows he can now only stay in power through perpetual war.

@danjac @humanhorseshoes I came back to the EU from Russia on the Allegro and I was harassed by Finnish police demanding to know where I was going, how long I would stay in Finland and accused of lying about it. As an EU citizen with an EU passport this was outrageous
