Back to rewiring my guitar with the P90s with Fishman Fluence P90s. Kinda working but had to start again. Taking far too long. Hey ho.

Last night I was travelling in dreams.

Everywhere I went there was enough of everything you need and you could go anywhere you wanted. People were happy. I was happy.

Then I woke back to this stupid hell and it broke my heart.

We’re asked to forgive. I know the privately educated fools have no understanding of the rest of us or how we survive.

There will be a reckoning and I hope we can find it in our hearts not to pay back in the same coin.

But we’re dying every day while they sing hymns to their capitalist god.

It’s a bitter harvest.

We’re told to accept being poorer

200,000 dead from austerity - the transfer of wealth from poor to rich as assets increase in value

300,000 and counting from the virus we have to live with now. Corruption, venality and incompetence aided by abstention of opposition.

How, then, do we accept children with no food, adults starving in the streets? Why should we?

We should be chasing our tormentors with nooses instead of sitting on our hands.

For anyone who assumes Britain’s exclusively two-party system offers a binary choice between a conservative party on one side and a progressive, socialist-leaning party on the other, Starmer is proof that they have been misled. https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-labour-starmer-ambition-nastier-nasty-party

@zimpenfish hmmmm

If you’re counting or using the small end of numbers you might get that. Lower ordinal numbers appear more frequently for obvious reasons.

Just out of curiosity, has there been any actual innovation in AI for years? All I can see is the same old crappy discrimination algorithms, but with more computing power, I mean, so what?

You can steer a car in the sunshine, so what if it rains?

I find myself wondering, what are folks getting so worked up about? Where is the innovation? Where is anything that’s actually not a rehash of something that is at least 20 years old?

There’s nothing new here that I can see.

Starmer says he’s against PR. I told you ages ago. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/04/27/keir-starmer-now-opposes-scrapping-westminsters-voting-system-for-pr-in-blow-for-reformers/

This is also the kind of thing you do when you have money, but no boots on the ground. It shows how much they lost to the Greens in my local area.

Party that’s done f all steals non partisan slogan. Can they sink any lower? Notice they say nothing about the NHS, having already caved.

I was at the EIE meeting in Birkenhead and didn’t see a single one of them. I think one person at Ellesmere Port out of 25 or so.
