I don't remember posting that. That's creepy. I was falling asleep and I kept typing in junk and I must have tweeted it half asleep and then brushed my teeth and got into bed. Weird.

“First Past the Post underpins our tribal, adversarial, winner takes all politics. The big fraud is an electoral system that shuts out millions of voices, to Tories’ delight, & locks in nasty arrogant political behaviour”

The word “Zen” is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese ch’an, which is in turn an abbreviation of ch’an-na, the closest Chinese could come to saying dhyāna, the Sanskrit word meaning meditation.
Wow. This is significant. I hope the UK has to implement this too.

Hey @tattooed_mummy you know the way some people are saying they find threads hard? Do they mean posting them or following them? They seem to work fine afaics.
From #LiartownUSA, I give you: bonkers fake screenshots of the end credits to "Columbo" episodes. The names and roles *feel* like they're from 1970s American TV shows ... but aren't ... but are still spot-on? Right up there with #KeyandPeele 's "college football" bits in the "uncanny hilarity" department.
The app work monopolists have always relied on subsidies to grow, and this tactic switches the costs of subsidies from their shareholders to their workers.
App-capitalism simps will say, "if you don't like the working conditions, just work for someone else," pretending ignorance of hundreds of years of labor activism and the principles of solidarity and collective bargaining.

Why do #nvidia drivers take so long to install? Why does it download a full package each time instead of doing a delta and just updating what's changed? It seems really stuck in the past - 650mb or so - it can't have all changed, ffs!

#NowPlaying Everywhere at the End of Time, stages 1-6 by The Caretaker. It's truly one of the most heartbreaking pieces ever, especially if, like me, you like the wistful dancehall/ballroom music of the 1920 & 30s. Over 6 vols, it illustrates the slow decline, disintegrating memories, emotions, and terminal lucidity of an #Alzheimers patient. And if you've known someone with Alzheimer's, and seen them mercilessly and brutally decline, it's even more of a gut punch.
