So satisfying to finally hear an unapologetic case for equality and fair tax being made on Question Time today by @zackpolanski.bsky.social (and getting lots of applause). High point: Zack telling Zia Yusuf, “you absolutely are a fascist from a far right, racist party”. 👏👏👏

We need to stop talking about <the war> in Gaza - there is no war
Israel is not taking casualties, it is driving civilians in front of a terror machine and making a wasteland of all and any territory it clears to present a fait accompli that it hopes will lead to flight of the civilian population

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.
Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

A world in which the Chinese Communist Party adheres more closely to evidence led policy making than the British Conservative Party. A national embarrassment.

Greenspun's 10th rule has a corollary on editors: any sufficiently complicated user interface contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Emacs.

Peter Mandelson can sit as a Labour Lord while my colleagues have lost the whip for opposing disability benefits cuts and the two-child benefit cap.
Such draconian, politically-motivated suspensions undermine democracy and make a mockery of our party. They should have the whip restored immediately.

The “command palette”, the newest, hottest invention in UI. Is in fact at least as old as Emacs and Vi (that's the 1970s, for those in the back). It wasn't called that way, of course. Emacs's command palette even lets you enter entire programs.

Conservatives' calls for compassion in the face of Charlie Kirk’s assassination were strangely striking, precisely because they (and he) have spent countless hours letting us know that they believe compassion is a character flaw and a cultural danger.
