Getting a lot out of this book. Very useful if you want to understand how things flare up and then disappear, as well as what class politics should look like. You’ll find it at Foreign Languages Press.
@schmidt_fu I do still share my toots however.
@schmidt_fu I use it to bring tweets across from Twitter, but I don’t go the other way. This is because Mastodon is much more private and I don’t feel I have permission.
Whereas on Twitter everything is public, so sharing tweets feels okay.

⚠️ If you only care about human rights abuses when your enemies commit them, then you don't really care about human rights abuses.

I don't want to share the road with either drunks or self-driving cars.

The "promises" of a politician who lied to the people who voted for him are worthless. https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1615777415749320731

Sunak is bragging that ambulance times are even worse in Wales than in England.
He does know that he is PM of Wales?
Doesn’t he?

"Peacekeepers" is also another interesting word to use - instead of "armed foreign occupiers." https://twitter.com/AlanRMacLeod/status/1615352742284771330

This week in 1961, US, British and Belgian forces couped and assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's mineral wealth. Remember Lumumba.

It’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.

Excuse me if I disbelieve UK Tory government claims that obstructing Scottish gender recognition reform is about protecting women's rights, when they plan on ramming through ripping up EU laws which give us rights to equal pay, maternity protection etc. Not to mention clean rivers and beaches and thousands of other regulations which the government can't even list.

@francis Indeed; both are in the pockets of higher beings i.e. big corporations, their owners, and CEOs.

Why do private donors fund Labour? In addition to salaries & expenses MPs may receive sizeable sums from private donors whose motivation is opaque as w Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting & Dan Jarvis. Labour’s funding under Tony Blair stil has the power to shock https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/why-do-private-donors-fund-labour/

@andrewmeyerson @Stephen87386723 @SteveBarclay @Specsavers Aye, here are the Tories, leading by example.

Dear @SteveBarclay,
I get paid £15.50/hr working in A&E on a 48hr/wk contract and I'm on a 30min unpaid break during a night shift. Your NHS negligence kills 500 people a week and you're telling us to work harder?! May I prescribe a visit to @Specsavers?
@bobjmsn Interestingly, it also knows that the alternate squad won't undo any of this either. Or why would it bother?

We're here! Your favourite Liverpool Makerspace is now on Mastodon.
We have been operating in Liverpool since 2011 providing a community-driven space to make things, whether that's digital or actual.
We offer a combination of coworking office and workshop, where anyone can use our high speed internet, laser cutters, 3D printers, and other equipment, or simply sit at a comfortable desk with a laptop and a cup of tea or coffee.
