You wouldn't know it from BBC coverage but the Green Party were (also) not invited to Burnham's cross-party talks on social care.
As Ellie Chowns says in a letter to him.
"Failing to extend an invitation to your first cross-party meeting on the topic is, frankly, not
consistent with your stated commitment to working cooperatively across party lines."

These suggestions for new Euro bank notes... my first impression was "These are all bad!"
Like... not even "monopoly money" bad. But a bit like the designers that were chosen didn't know what to do with the topic (those were the best 10 out of 24!) The designs feel too busy, many have ghastly color schemes. Some feel like tinted stock photos of birds... One design even has a black&white photo of a person on it that makes it look like a book cover.

Meeting Notes:
Table-top exercise scenario topic was state and far-right repression.
Responses:
Strong networks require redundancy, so no one person is a social connection, skills, or resource gatekeeper. These people are often targeted by the state, and if they get burned out and leave, it also weakens and jeoprodizes groups.
Ways to strengthen our networks:
Mentoring/sharing responsibility. Creating a culture of mentorship and support so new people learn skills, take on responsibilities, and are introduced to other folks. Reducing burden on a few key people too.
Chaos Monkey exercise: ask central people to step back from communications/organizing to see what happens.
Regular check-ins! & Delegates check-in with new members they sign up
Ask well connected folks to introduce people to build social redundancy.
Gaming (D&D, board games, etc) committee could support a more fun, and socially robust network.
Practical safety tool:
Burner phone. Not everyone needs one, but good to have access to.
TO DO LIST:
Make regular announcements at each meeting for people to check-in with folks they know (especially those they haven’t heard from in awhile!)
Start google doc for disaster preparedness zine
Why you should prepare (ideological argument)
What people should have (the basics)
How to prepare
Frame as questions, so people can find the answer that best suits themselves.
Such as “what are you preparing for?”
Where do you spend most of your time? (home? Office? car?)
Make it as easy as possible for folks to get the basics (list locations for supplies, etc.)

In today's Two Minutes Hate, I'd like to talk about automatic translations on Reddit.
As a user of English as a second language I find them annoying for two reasons.
One - they always rank high in search results when I specifically need LOCAL knowledge on the topic, coming from other folks from my country, and anything else is useless to me.
Two - when the Reddit thread contains reference to a nationality, e.g. "As a Finnish", their translation switches that to "Jako Polak" ("as a Pole"). And that makes things confusing as hell if I make a grave mistake of diving into a thread I shouldn't have touched in the first place (usually due to the Reason Number One).
I used to appreciate Reddit a lot in the past, but of course it couldn't last forever.

Is emoji interpretation just a "fun" summer topic, or does emoji misinterpretation ever become serious, like in court discussions? - In face there have been several cases both in North America and Europe where emoji meanings were negotiated in court! I keep a collection of them because it's a nice intersection with my alter ego, the "forensic" linguist. For example, in cases from Canada and Bavaria, judges had to decide whether a thumbs-up 👍 in a chat was meant as a signal of agreement (to a contract or contract amendment), or whether (like the senders argued) it constituted only an acknowledgement of receipt of the message. In both cases, the context was super important - how did the parties interact before, what else was said in the chat, etc. Interesting! #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

'Wasserfall' #FotoVorschlag 'Waterfall'
Some locations came to my mind when I read the topic this morning and my wife immediately mentioned that location. This is probably one of my best photos.
The water flooded over the stairs on the right, creating a lot of little waterfalls. Luckily I did bring my tripod and a considerable amount of time so that I could tak…

This image captures a serene and enchanting forest scene, dominated by a cascading waterfall that winds its way through a lush, green landscape. The waterfall is the central focus, with multiple tiers of water flowing gently over moss-covered rocks and ledges, creating a sense of movement and tranquility. The water's path is framed by an abundance of greenery, including moss, ferns, and other vegetation, which adds texture and depth to the scene.

The surrounding forest is dense with trees and …

“If you were an emoji, what emoji would you be?” - Hm, I think I’d pick 👩‍💻 because that represents how I spend my days the best.
Representation and diversity is an important topic when it comes to emojis. Studies show that the skin tone modifiers 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️ are primarily used for self representation. And many groups had to fight for their emojis: hijabi women, people with disabilities, redheads, people with curly hair. It is still difficult to show “all” of society in emojis, because human diversity is much more variable than we can show in little pictures: Where I can just say “family” in English and may mean many different constellations, in an emoji I’d have to decide on the number, gender and skin color of all the family members, and that doesn’t even begin to cover all the facets. A real language is much more flexible that way. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

I find sociology to be an endlessly fascinating subject. Today, I was thinking about the concept of path dependence.
This is the concept that the current state is not merely dependent on recent rational choices, but also on prior states, conditions, beliefs, norms, and values, some of which may no longer exist.
See also "local minimum".

@… humans still make mistakes that, unless you have at least *some* previously acquired knowledge on said topic, are believable.
FreeBSD-related mistakes such as:
― ZFS is not default
― ZFS uses more space than UFS.

One of my goals on social media is to put myself "on the record" for opinions and predictions.
There's lots of reasons I do this, far too much to explain in 500 words.
One reason is to force myself to examine the beliefs that steer my behavior, both consciously and unconsciously. Another is to gain self-awareness on just how often I'm... wrong.
I have more half-finished thoughts on this topic percolating in my head, but that's enough for one day.

This image captures a serene and minimalist winter landscape, evoking a sense of calm and quiet beauty. The scene is dominated by three bare trees, their branches devoid of leaves and dusted with a light layer of snow. The trees stand tall against a backdrop of a foggy, overcast sky, their intricate branch patterns creating a striking contrast against the white landscape.

The ground is covered in a blanket of snow, its smooth surface interrupted only by the trees and a simple wire fence runnin…
