Ah, there it is! Our businesses are deeply in the red relative to other OECD countries. Like spectacularly so. Now, remember, business liabilities include shares, equity, outstanding loans etc. So, could it be that our businesses are just amazingly successful and valuable? [4/n]

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.

Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!

deathgenerator.com

A screenshot of a twitter post by @foone on October 26th, 2017.
She posts "PQ2 death generator is live! make ol' Jim Walls say whatever you want."

with a link to the site, and an included image:
It's the death dialogbox from the Sierra adventure game Police Quest 2. It shows Jim Walls, a retired police officer, as a portrait on the left. The titlebar says "Jim shakes his head and says..." and there's "Restore", "Restart", "Quit" buttons.
The text has been edited to read:
"YOU CAN MAKE ME SAY THINGS
ANYTHING YOU WANT

i miss sierra games :("

So, Labour will fiddle around with how to spend 0.4% of the budget in 2027 (futures fund) and then get cracking on a capital gains tax that will increase revenue by around 0.6% by 2030. We could get maybe 20km of new road for that. 'The tranquilising drug of gradualism'.

despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

People are right to criticise Labour for the lack of ambition but this small step (in line with polls of the NZ public) getting the most outrageous sky-is-falling responses from govt ministers is a win. Willis is out there sweating the small stuff—the ideological dogma is a huge weakness.

this is why there's so many canals around the world, or at least were before railways ruined everything

there's a massive neglect of the role the sea plays in popular conceptions of statebuilding and empire pre 19th century. as hobsbawm points out sea travel (and river travel) was often faster than land travel outside of flat land / plains / agricultural land up until railways came by

i don't really like to encourage people to try linux because the experience is still pretty user hostile sometimes, but there have been genuine efforts to improve it by introducing immutability (ones you can't break by package manager shenanigans) and KDE is even working on their own unified distro.

If you don’t want to use an OS that spies on you, owned by a company who reports its own employees to the FBI for protesting the genocide that their tech is facilitating, there are options.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
