Of course, one of the the things we all need to be considering is how to vote tactically... so here for your consideration is one guide to how to vote tactically in your constituency.

Just type in you postcode for advice (based on polling) on how you might vote tactically to get the Tories out (or if you have other priorities, how to maximise the impact of your vote under the current FPTP system)

@ChrisMayLA6 Tactical voting is a losing strategy because it's all about keeping or getting someone out, not who you want in. That's not really conducive to keeping people democratically engaged given there's no democracy in just voting between two parties, neither of which may reflect your views and in some cases might have nothing to vote for as neither will be better than the other.

Oh trout, why did I doubt you. Old reliable got me to work smoothly, effortlessly, without drama. I love you so and have something special planned at lunch.

I even played my break-up album, the one I can only play and enjoy when I've ended a relationship AND IT WAS GOOD.

Media coverage of Republicans stampeding to NYC to attack Trump's trial as illegit is marred by euphemism. This isn't just "currying favor" w Trump or "expressing loyalty" or auditioning to be his VP. It's placing Trump over rule of law

Rs are attacking judge, witnesses, prosecutors & trial as illegitimate. This isn't just helping Trump evade the gag order. The point is also to display in spectacle form that their fealty is to him over the rules that make the system function

@GottaLaff Saw this coming, they're going to raise hell if he wins or loses at the polls. The election doesn't matter, probably never did to them given you can invalidate any loss by saying "nuh uh" and prepare to stage a coup.

Three climate activists have been found guilty under the new law that seeks to repress protests that interfere with key national infrastructure.

With the jury instructed to ignore the defendants' reasoning behind their actions its perhaps unsurprising they were found guilty... all a bit ironic given the unseasonal heat in the court room.

Sentencing is to come & will show how serious an impact the law may have... but its not going to be good!

2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade.

2023: Microsoft's emissions are 30% higher than in 2020.

Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires new data centers built out of carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips.

One of my oldest pics doing the rounds again.

One throwaway pixeljob 25 years ago, and now a substantial part of the population of Australia remembers the edit as the truth of it.

Bit proud of that.

On my second workday medicated. One of the best and surprising parts is confidence and trust in what I've already done.

Before, in essence I couldn't trust that my intent was what I actually managed to do.

I don't have to double check myself over and over. I just remember, and it's there. The live thoughts of tasks I performed still exist in my head and are accessible in moments.
