Objectively, it's far more troubling that they're banning Toni Morrison and David Levithan and Art Spiegelman and any books that even hint at representing the right's Horsemen of the Apocalypse

But there's something so completely batshit about banning _Calvin and Hobbes_, a comic strip so family friendly that it ran uncensored in the most conservative newspapers in the country for more than a decade

Just saw a post on another platform about the proposed #pedestrianisation of #London’s Oxford St and was blown away by the venom and cynicism.

It seems the combination of #sustainability, improved #AirQuality and #DisabledAccess are beyond the wit of humanity and the enemy of business.

How do European cities successfully manage pedestrianisation?

Omg, I just got to do the thing.

A gammon just said, "when is international MEN'S day?"

And I shouted from around the corner, "November the 19th!"

... silence.

Because yep, it's a thing! Have fun, mate! 😂

Perhaps unsurprisingly, after 35+ years of computering the same old "issues" with open source are still around.

This Capitalist idea that you take something which is free and then place demands upon it is remarkable. It is probably of the of the purest "hard Capitalist" concepts along with slavery and pay per piece with no guarantees or protections whatsoever.

The entitlement with which people attack open source maintainers for, er, not maintaining a project to the level they require or, worse, deciding to stop maintaining a project on which they are critically dependent is incredible.

Are you paying the maintainer? Do you have a contract with them? No? Then it is exquisitely a "your problem" problem...
