'Illiberal democracy' has spread from Europe to America's heartland: Texas, Florida, Missouri, Idaho and other red states use trans health care, abortion, race and other social issue to engage in cultural authoritarianism. via NBCNews http://dld.bz/j9dW3

Believe it or not, this is a paid advert by the Labour Party and not the Lib Dems.
Imagine thinking multilateral nuclear disarmament is a bad thing @Keir_Starmer.

Le Pen proposed:
- deporting migrants w/prison sentences; UK has been doing it since 2007.
- excluding all migrants from welfare state; UK has no recourse to public funds policy
- removing automatic citizenship for migrants 18+; doesn't even exist in UK

Well
I have returned to Mastodon and am going to make more of a go with it.
I write software, using Ruby, to pay the bills.
I write socialist fiction, recently started a substack for my Green Plenty project, which will probably end up as a book.
I relax by playing the guitar, making music in general, walking, canoeing (but I need to get my fitness back up to pre-lockdown levels).
My kids are in their late 20's and I've been married for over 30 years.

this is why the conservative social media platforms never get off the ground. isolated, there's nobody to harass as a reference point. they have nothing to say to each other. they need to be in proximity to people they can insult - that's their social interaction need
At work I just heard the "we are a family" rhetoric.
My family are people I know and love and want to hang out with.
The people I work with are all lovely, and I like working with them. My choice to hang out with them is based on not starving, however.
I worked at Oracle during 9/11. Ellison sent an email saying "they are all family". 2 months later mass firings to keep da monez flowing.
When push comes to shove family stay with you. I mean the family you choose, not the one you didn't :)

Who are the "Tory enablers"?
Our democracy is a sham.

From 1979 and onwards, there has been the greatest plunder of our country since the Norman Conquest. On example:
“The1989 privatisation of the water supply in England and Wales transferred not only the provision of clean water and sewerage but also vast swathes of land - more.
When I graduated from my Applied Computing and Statistics degree in 1986 about 40% of the cohort were women
So this thing about women not doing computing wasn't true then. I think they were driven out by the macho types.
I mean, you've seen the film Hidden Figures.
The cliches about brains and ability are rubbish - there is a problem with the system because things got worse. The current status quo ain't all that.
Just started a new instance and this seemed to help
It's funny looking at current pictures of Johnson. He's a fair bit younger than I am, but looks older, and pretty broken.
I do hope he doesn't drop down dead.
I want him to face trial, and then drop down dead.

Stop making me want to vote Lib Dem.
@ngmi@mastodon.online Oh that's so annoying. I'm a C hacker from way back and it seemed like a place for me to go play.
On the other hand ... the main repo still seems to be getting updates.
I have a couple of demo projects I might port for the craic.
Today I discovered the V programming language https://vlang.io/ - think I might use it as my playground projects language because it's so light weight.
If you're interested in the Green Plenty concept https://greenplenty.substack.com/p/the-case-for-green-plenty?s=w
@theauracle The reason they're shouting so loud is they are a minority.
On the other hand. I still live here, and I'm white straight and cis - don't feel at home either.
The faster capitalism circles around the plug hole the more they shout and carry on.
