- A lot of our newspapers talk about patriotism but don’t seem able to hold account those responsible for 40-50 thousand of our compatriots dying.
- Wear face coverings in pubs/cafes/restaurants if =< 2 meters (or only way they can open). Okay…..but I see a flaw in this strat. Namely eating and drinking.

- Spent a week attempting to get permission to get an accessToken for Instagram (via Facebook developers) to display 4 recent posts in a footer on a website , submitted 3 forms of ID, a screencast and description. Rejected 4 times because ‘it’s not an app’. Sigh.
- Repatriated my office space stuff back home as unlikely to be returning there any time soon. Also I have ALOT of Raspberry Pis.

- What’s next they say? I am guessing another statue of a dead rich white slave trader.
- With schools probably not re-opening till September and kids missing out on education, how about an alternate (optional) module on colonial history, encourage as many kids as possible to take it over the summer, would probably do more for society in the long run.

- Surprised I didn’t see this reported yesterday but over a 24 hour period to 5pm June 7th there were no deaths from Coronavirus in London. https://t.co/58hI3nVx2v
- Bought some clippers, the Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown look isn’t really working for me.
- Seems a grotesque hill to die on defending a slave trader but many appear to be running up it holding scissors.
- The mental gymnastics going on right now to attack the toppling of a slave owner’s statue deserves a mandatory drug test.
- RT @RichNeville: He tripped and fell. We all saw it.
- Seems fitting that the statue of a slave trader ends up in the sea. It’s estimated that 1.5 million people where thrown into the sea either dead or dying when slave ships crossed the Atlantic. https://t.co/DyWc3HsyNv

- Jacob Ress-Mogg has endangered our entire democracy so he can play games. He’s an idiot. And now those MPs are likely to be going back to every corner of the country with Covid-19. Prick.

- In a US movie the army general would turn on the fascist threatening to kill his own citizens but this isn’t a movie is it?
- Shit.
- Misread the data, deleted tweet.
- Oh wow, Font Awesome 6, winner. Hope they have a sweet icon for the apocalypse.
- This is utter utter insanity, it’s already operating for 50 people, virtual voting is fine and means you don’t have: a:) MPs queuing for 1000 meters outside of parliament b:) MPs travelling and staying overnight thus breaking lockdown rules https://t.co/WmPJr1a2vn

- Compare and contrast: @DominicRaab - Foreign secretary - Distressing but not really my job @lisanandy - Shadow Foreign secretary - This is weak and wrong. The world must not look away #BlackLivesMatter
- RT @jeffbercovici: Boy you’d think a country that can equip every cop like a soldier could equip every doctor like a doctor
- Like literally ‘anti’ fascists. Although I will concede that literal fascists would see the anti version of them as an existential threat.

- Would like to hear more from @SadiqKhan and @metpoliceuk about how they want to police London, events in America and the murder of a black man by police need us to be vigilant at all times that our own institutions are held accountable always. We know there are deep problems here

- Zuckerburg no. I’ve worked with Jimmy Wales and what I liked most about him was his ability to understand and communicate that there is objective truth where some things are just wrong and need to be called out. It might not be easy but it’s damn well important.

- This is good thinking. I did do a bit of a double take when Sadiq Khan halted the Ulez zone earlier in the pandemic. I know it was under the guise of key workers but how many health care workers drive into central London? https://t.co/TNlOuvDMQP

- Protest peacefully whilst we murder you.
- Might have just properly lost it at a runner on a narrow (1.5 m) pedestrian bridge after he asked me to move so he could run past. My flowerly language and refusal escalated. So did his. But tbf he did back down after I mentioned the number of dead people. His apology was sincere

- What from the people that bought you ‘closes parliament’ and ‘driving 60 miles to test my eyes’ we get ‘gagging scientists’. I am shocked I tell you. Shocked.
- A thought about this, and it’s been the case for years and I realise a lot is about profit. But why are these companies so shittingly awful at doing stuff. Like really bad. https://t.co/MK9eUuAv5i
- Every so often it hits you what it would have been like to see a headline like this in the before times: https://t.co/uLLrVCLOFj
- People didn’t stay home because they might get a fine. People didn’t visit dying relatives because they might be £50 lighter. People didn’t seek childcare when struggling to avoid a lecture from police. They stayed home to save lives and protect the NHS. This is why we are angry
- If police pushed for prosecution in some of these matters, I wonder if in a court of law this would be an adequate defence, if so then police are effectively null in policing anything to do with lockdown rules. https://t.co/TXQASPDhGF

- Couldn’t work out why my credit card bill was so high then remembered I dropped £250 on fonts.
- Great article on CSS process: https://t.co/IKi2ul8B14 I think over the years my methodology has gone this way, BEM-ish with increasing amounts of utility classes. Adding data attributes is something I’ll look at, & I definitely need to revisit the Lobotomized Owl * + * approach
- DNS continues to be my mortal enemy. Managed to just about scrape through with the odd scratch but it’s still lurking round the corner with a hand made shiv.

- Sudden realisation that had Cameron never called the referendum he would probably still be in power during Covid-19 after a May 2020 election being called off. And I have no idea how I feel about a Cameron Government still in power and in the EU during this time.

- Tory MPs got to ask yourself one question, ‘Is this the hill I want to die on? Well, do I, punk?’
- So as I see it Dominic Cummins *still* broke the rules when he lied about it.

- Google maps wondering why ‘Durham to Barnard Castle’ is spiking.
- The key points for me is that although DC’s concern may have been understandable, and even relatable, most of us a) stuck by the rules even though we were scared, and wanted to protect others b) did not have the privilege to act on these fears even if we wanted to.

- If this is a speech about truth why do they need extra time to prepare? Willing to hear what he has to say for himself and listen as openly as possible but it doesn’t play well to be 20 minutes late for a clarifying statement.

- I really hope Guardian/Mirror have another mic drop article ready for later.
- I think it’s time for Dominic Cummings to spend more time at home; in London, Durham, South Mimms service station, Barnard Castle and all of his other primary residences.
