Uke-player, busker, from Nottinghamshire, ordinary person, trying to make sense of the mess of a capitalist colonialist billionaire-producing shitshow that the UK and world has become. Trying to be environmentally better than many, but still having to balance that with practical home budget. Christian, which is where a lot of my philosophy starts from, but try to be inclusive and helpful. Work as a bus driver, generally schools.

@davidho.bsky.social No European country can absorb even a tiny slice of US academia (nor can Canada, Japan, Korea etc). We already have way more smart and hard working people wishing for an academic career than places in academia.
Humans independently edit Wikipedia for humans. They don’t have any Ads or cannot be bullied into removing content. Wikipedia is free from AI slop. No wonder tech bros with AI companies want to eliminate it so that their fake AI text generator can show or push propaganda. Please do not let Wikipedia die. It is an independent source and far more reliable than Gen AI companies. It is a real shame that it comes to this.

If you are voting on Monday April 28th
(and if you are an adult Canadian the answer to this should be YES) 🗳️🇨🇦

Don't forget to bring with you official IDs and some official letters with your current address on it, in case you need to re-register on the voting list. This is especially true if you have not received a voting card in the mail.

For some obscure reason, and despite none of my information changing since the last federal election, I had been removed from my current address and would have not found out before election day if I had not checked and called in advance to correct this.

I find this pretty suspicious by the way,
and I'm afraid it might have happened to others who will only find out on Monday and not have the proper identification with them.

Let's make sure your vote is counted.
This election is crucial 🇨🇦

Many planes don't charge your card when in the air, they only put a preauthorisation on it. I use a virtual card with 10p on it and eat and drink as much as I want. Never had any charges and never any regrets either. Happy flying.

The Canadian Election is on Monday.

Pierre Poilievre, who has been running for YEARS, still refuses to apply for the normal security check, in the middle of a security crisis.

He must know that his refusal has been badly hurting him with voters.

So I have to assume that he knows he CAN’T pass it.

My mother was talked into declining the free covid boost by her smalltown facebook-expert friends, despite my efforts to emphasize that it’s important to get, and now she’s got a bothersome case of covid
Something that you may not have thought about yet: if you're planning a trip, try booking with Canadian-owned hotels! 🇨🇦 This weekend, I'm staying at a Germain Hotel (it’s family-owned, started in Quebec City, and still 100% Canadian-run today) and honestly, I am blown away every time I stay with them. Great service, gorgeous rooms, luxury feel; and it was similarly priced compared to the American-owned ones I looked at. Super impressed.

OK, I now expect war to break out between India and Pakistan.

India just suspended the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and the PPP's leader accuses Sharif of scapegoating Pakistan to distract from it's own internal security lapses.

In earlier years the USA would have taken an international lead to cool things off but Trump obviously won’t give a fuck about two nuclear powers going to the mattresses unless he can make bank on it.

‘Either our water will flow or their blood,’ Bilawal Bhutto warns India amid Indus Waters Treaty suspension

He also accused India of scapegoating Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack to deflect attention from its internal security lapses.
