@fkamiah17 @kim_harding @theferret 1950 called and said who needs pasta, really?
@kim_harding @theferret And moaning to camera that "they don't want their kids to have to hide in a cupboard if they say they're English"; "no one serves meat and two veg any more"; and "we used to be a country of tea-drinkers, now it's coffee."
Word for word.
I really enjoyed 3 Body Problem on Netflix
Remembered I'd read the first volume on Kindle unlimited ages ago but bought the trilogy
The second book is so hard to read. Full of people making speeches explaining things, like the SF written in the 1950s.
Really interesting characters with fascinating internal lives, but those speeches, just not necessary.
Needed a really good edit, but maybe it works in the original literary tradition.
Sticking with it because I want to know what happens.

The Rwanda Bill (UK) "is a shameful and performatively cruel law that will risk people's lives and betray who we are as a society."
We've signed an open letter alongside 250 other civil society organisations to oppose this attack on human rights and the rule of law by an increasingly dangerous, authoritarian government in the UK.

Don't get me started on Ubuntu changing how system services are loaded because pretty a few years ago.
Moved to later version and all my scripts had to be rewritten.
Better is the enemy of good enough.
Energy is better spent on actual pain points instead of forcing the other 95% of us to rewrite stuff every few years.
A sad day for human rights and a terrifying one for asylum seekers in the UK, who are made scapegoats for a failing government.
