@Femi_Sorry Similarly, I can - and I hope I do - try to be as un-racist and indeed ANTI racist as possible but this doesn’t change the fact that as a white guy, I BENEFIT from racism every day.
Is this my *fault*? No.
Is it my *responsibility* to try to change it? Yes.

That Liz Truss is a beauty isn’t she? Pay cuts for public sector workers in the North. The meanest, cruellest people you could ever meet are running our country!

“It’s just my opinion” is what I always hear when people say provocative bullshit but have you considered the following:

[A] it’s obvious that’s your “opinion”
[B] your opinion should at least be educated in order to be taken seriously
[C] is it really an “opinion” or a variation of the same old ideological bollocks I’ve heard before?
[D] have you considered the fact that your “opinion” *isn’t* harmless if numerous people take umbrage with it?
[E] if you’re going to be an asshole, own it.

I continue to be surprised by the number of people who argue that universities are a problem for society and ignore the possibility that society might be a problem for universities. nytimes.com/2022/08/02/opinion

Wes Streeting can f*ck off. And every other red Tory scumbag in the Labour Party who spent 5 years deliberately sabotaging Jeremy Corbyn.

Never forgive. Never forget. Never red Tories.

What I want to know is, why am I hearing/reading so little news about Sunak right now?

Is the Truss-in-the-spotlight phenomenon a Tory backroom ratfucking op in favour of Sunak, or is he just busy elsewhere, laying a clutch of eggs in another paralysed debtor?

when you brainstorm increasingly outlandish ways to cut public spending, don’t think one of them through, and accidentally announce that your flagship policy is cutting pay for nurses in the Red Wall

Blog from @jaybazuzi about benefits you can get from using Arlo's Commit Notation. I was particularly attracted by the 'nudge' reason. I think I would benefit from having that reminder to break up changes. jay.bazuzi.com/why-acn/

@drjanaway Starmer is just a turd floating on the cesspit of Labour; the whole party is scum.

It isn't just about Starmer, it's about root and branch mendacity, corruption, racism and nepotism. I can't turn a blind eye to it now I can see it.

If you can, that's on you.
