Part of the Communications Act 2003 has come into force.
As a member of the public I'm confused as to why these laws don't automatically sunset if left unactivated. Certainly after more than 20 years, and significant changes in the makeup of Parliament.
(This change is just about classifying significant events, eg, sporting events.)

"the spectre of communism is stalking Europe" factoid actually just statistical error. Most places in Europe have never been visited by the spectre of communism. Karl Marx, who lives in Engels's apartment and is stalked by 10,000 spectres of communism, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Multiple storms and more coming. Back yard looks like we could float a yacht. I am almost 66 and I have never seen weather like this. Three storms so far today and more coming

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.

Hey, folks in a good chunk of Europe, this is relevant to us, mkay? The eclipse is coming in a few days, and there'll be two more in the coming years. Don't go American on this, mkay…

Maybe, as part of reviewing the UK government use of WhatsApp, there'll be a recommendation to adopt something based on [matrix] ?
