Because @SlackHQ have started on this 90 day for free accounts malarky I'm switching to Matrix for my personal chat groups. Probably look into creating my own server for business stuff, which means #ByeSlack for everything.

It will forever shame @LibDemPress that when in government they helped @Conservatives murder hundreds of thousands of people,
As billionaires increased their wealth by £55 billion.

@Femi_Sorry @Labour4PR 1) Corbyn isn't 'hard-left'
2) Neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology
3) 'Centrism' *is* Conservatism (see 2)
4) There's little division on the actual left (see 2/3)
5) Both-sidesing what is right-wing corruption is ludicrous
6) Stop listening to the politically naive...
“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.
TIL that further and farther are not the same word, and that I've been using them right all along https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-it-further-or-farther-usage-how-to-use

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. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/02/opinion/elite-universities-campus.html
Less stressed than perma-holiday Johnson and his crew of clowns? How so?
