Video about sign language, so you'll want a screen where you can actually follow it, which I appreciate is not easy for you.

Aaargh, I've lost my passport and my office is such a mess that I can't be sure whether it's here under a pile of other crap or not.

Aaaargh, feel really insecure.

I know it's not Saturday, but I was ill.

The Guardian

Picking a new computer:

1998: "Everything's twice as fast as it was last year! So much choice! So many options!"

2018: "OK, so which of these fucking things is the least broken?"

It's not the same, reading about deserts in paper books.
Silicon remembers the vast space, the sharp contrast, the peace. And honours it.
Smartphones need a button for "lock the screen but show what's currently on it and don't allow swiping through other things in my photo gallery or changing apps and don't dim the screen or show notifications or anything until I unlock it because I'm passing around a photo and some people have poor smartphone etiquette."

There are 435 seats in the US House of Representatives, all up for election in November.

The Democratic Party has just got an officially-filed candidate in the 417th seat, meaning that there are only 18 uncontested Republicans as of now. There were 28 such in 2016, and there's still a fair amount of time for more to step forward in super-safe GOP districts.

"Nice spaceship tattoo!"
"It's a teleportattoo. I read Ancillary Justice when I ported, so it fused."
"Lucky. I've got this."
"Bella Swan?"

Yer actual market-oriented libertarians who do get equality are just a weird sort of left-thinker. You can usually tell them from most libertarians because they hate big businesses and support small ones.

I've read a fair bit by people on various bits of the right - the conservative right, the far right and the libertarian right (which are three different things), and the thing that strikes me about all of these bar some really hard-core libertarians is how much they are instinctively hierarchial.

Much of the right really doesn't get the concept of equality at an emotional level.
