thezerobitIf anyone is looking for a software engineer with a lot of experience (~20 years) with a dozen or so major programming languages, I've been let go recently in a restructuring. Coworkers often come to me for help because I never make anyone feel stupid for asking questions and will help find a solution if I don't have the answer right away. I can design, implement and deploy backend/distributed systems in any language/stack you want. Portland, Oregon, USA or remote. #GetFediHired
George MonbiotThe daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.
It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵
"If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realisation that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented."

Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySocial media trend of the week has to be the range of variations on this simple message:
Board of Peace = Bored of Peace
(the warmongers want to normalise the state of war for their own ends.)
