All football games to now be 1-1 forever. It is the way.

Really enjoying the Economist Christmas Special. Every article from the history of the round robin Xmas letter, apricot farmers in rural France and how malaria has shaped human history just so well written and fascinating. Still only a third of the way through.

Glad a deal has happened, no deal would have been a disaster & negatively affected the poorest and most in need (medicines etc) but a sad day to be moving away from our neighbours. I guess it’s time for the U.K. & it’s component parts to go on a vision quest & see what happens

It’s clear that the government has planned for huge queues of lorries, how to park lorries, how to divert lorries away from ports. However they seemed to not have considered that there are people inside each of those lorries or their needs. A Tory allegory if you will.

Switched to safari this week after that viral Chrome thing, that may or may not have been wholly true. But wow, have to admit Safari has improved loads, not much difference from a development perspective and it appears faster, but then installed some content blocking thing & 💨

Liz Truss getting me pondering Foucault’s poststructuralist interpretation of objective truth is not something I thought it would be doing today. But here we are, 2020 is the batshit that just keeps on coming.

Just reminded myself why I don’t set out of office notices, I was once the support email address on a website where every order used to get an out of office reply from me along with the order confirmation.

Maybe if they spent less time wrongly interpreting 70s french postmodernism and more time understanding intersectionality and how their own government can be at once racist, prejudiced and awful for poorer parts of society they might actually get somewhere. https://t.co/lNryU6y4x9

Local Anti-LTN protestors seem to be taking on the ‘clean air’ angle, which is a hot take so hard some of them must have got whiplash. Oh and the solution, no restrictions….at…..all…. Right.

Seeing small business owners being like lol wot Facebook, how about not burying posts so that only 5% of our follows see them, rather than attacking Apple for ruining revenue because of showing users the terrifying extent of your tracking.

1 year ago today I was out canvassing for Labour against the Tories. That worked out well.

I believe the government just thinks, no-deal Brexit will probably be a few months of hurt then things will level out. Maybe so, but it’s the privilege that grates, it will be the hurt felt by millions and it will continue for some for much much longer. Always be Torying.

Maybe everything is just broken, but the term ‘do-gooder’ is not a bad thing. This is up there with the antifa label. Fighting Nazis and doing good are good things. Fascism and doing bad things are bad. Is that so difficult? https://t.co/TLnMcBYTpQ
