When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

Isn't it odd how we're afraid of the judgement of complete strangers we'll probably never see again?

Describing Rowling as ‘pro women’s rights’ is disingenuous. She’s only pro some women’s rights.

This is very good -- Cory Doctorow explains why people are locked into sites like Facebook that just get worse & worse. And he has some ideas on how to evacuate those shitty sites.

Hope you get better soon. I had a cold/cough/sore throat last week, thought I was recovered by the weekend. Now I’m still feeling crap — no energy. At least cough is mostly gone; I coughed so much I strained a muscle in my back so each cough felt like being stabbed.

Novels with any combination of dramatis personae, glossary & map are going to be more effort to read than they are worth.

I guessed NFTs would end up worthless when people came to their senses. An excellent way of separating rich idiots from their money for a while.

Also, I used to volunteer at the community shop in Dryslwyn, Carmarthenshire. One day, ancient lady at the checkout rummaged around in the bottom of her handbag and produced a Station X medal. I asked if she was at Bletchley & she said yes. I was overcome and retreated to kitchen to weep.
