@siracusa the only reason I started playing Destiny 1 was because of you. I heard you talk about it on your show and ever since I was hooked. D2 may not be what it was but it was always home.
Thank you sir for introducing me to the game I’ve played the most. The friends I’ve met. The gods I’ve slayed…

That's right, just as most governments are developing strategies to exist "the cloud" and "AI" (ie proprietary platforms owned by US technofascists), NatACT First are leaning in 🤦♂️
It's hard to know where to start on this. It's such an obviously bad idea I instinctively want to check this article wasn't published on April 1.

@strypey It's almost a diagnostic of ideas whose time has passed, being adopted by this government.
A reminder for anyone else in the UK who has booked meetings for Monday:
Apparently, it is a public holiday.
@neil I managed to wang all the bank hols into my outlook to prevent myself from this sort of numptitude (as well as all the academic weeks by number, assessment weeks and stupid shit like the UCAS embargo).

#US bears brunt of Israel’s missile defense, #Pentagon assessments show
The US military has depleted much of its inventory of advanced missile-defense interceptors after expending far more high-end munitions defending #Israel amid hostilities with #Iran than Israeli forces used themselves, according to #Defense Department assessments described to WaPo.

There's a common complaint among the political commentariat these days that election campaigns are getting longer and longer. So once elected, governments have less and less time to actually govern before they're thrown back into election mode. From this POV, Labour are doing the right thing by holding most of their election policy announcements for the 6 months between Budget Day and the election.

But this ignores the whole logic of an adversarial electoral system. Which is that the opposition to the government of the day are also represented in the larger governing system. So MPs representing it can point out problems with policy, and what they'd do instead if they had a majority.
This doesn't work if opposition parties base their entire political strategy on keeping their powder dry for the next election. Presenting no policy alternatives, to evade media accountability.

I did it. #Smithereen 1.0 is officially out now. Only took me 6.5 years from an idea to something I can proudly call a stable release.

Reminder: I maintain a list of trans peoples' airport security experiences. If you've been through security at an airport, either good or bad experiences, I'd love you to add data here! The form also has a link (you don't need to provide data) to results.
Looks like we're a "go" for switching to an induction stove/range Probably from Costco. Anyone have any recommendations? (I know folks have mentioned that physical controls a lot better than touch screens, for sure) #appliances #inducation
@ai6yr sorry for wandering in the room without context (I can’t find any). You’re doing this because of news in recent years that gas ranges are actually harmful? Also, cleaning an induction range seems like a no brainer.
