'And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.' Just remember Nemiks Manifesto

You don't miss the 80s you miss being a kid and a time before adult responsibilities.

The first Nazi Generals tried to negotiate with Montgomery. He told them to fuck off as he wouldn't negotiate with Nazis.

Alright Dave, any plans for the bank holiday weekend?' 'Reckon I'll get pissed and go yell at some scared women and children in a hotel, you?' 'Probably have a picnic on the beach with the family like a normal person'

Putin expected Ukraine to fall within weeks of the invasion. Now he's stuck in an attritional war he can't back out off. He he agrees to leave Ukraine he'll be seen as weak. His only 'peace deal' he'll accept is to keep the parts he invaded which Ukraine will never accept.

Whose going to build this infrastructure? 60 year old labourers? It's almost like we need young healthy immigrants to do the physical labour needed to fix the country.

So you're going to give money to people to eat better, fund free school meals, tax fast food companies and improve food production? Yeah, Didn't think so.

His argument is you should tariff every country at 50% to stop China using them? What a dumb smug twat.

Also, if you remember 1976, you're either retired or near retirement. 90% of the 'we survived 76' lot don't have to go to work in this heat. Alternatively, they remember 76 positively as they were young with no responsibilities.

Maybe look up the Japanese in the 1930s and WW2. See Nanjing.

'Then they should die and decrease the surplus population!' If you're quoting Scrooge maybe you're on the wrong side.

Neanderthals cared about each other and looked after the sick and elderly. She's worse.

Until about 2016 it did feel that society was progressing forward.

In this case, presumably, the ship is the Titanic, and they're going around again as it missed the iceberg under Biden.

Regular reminder that there is no reason Labour has to “eye billions of pounds in welfare and other cuts”. It’s more than possible to raise cash with targeted wealth taxes. Austerity is a choice and it’s a choice no matter what colour party is in power.

We have a properly warped perception of how much various sectors contribute to the UK economy. The fishing industry, which is constantly in the news and to whom politicians of all rosettes regularly play, adds less to GDP than Games Workshop

I’ve just handed in the last output of my postdoc, which ended officially on the 29th. The last piece I wrote was on using Twine and IF in archaeological education. I’m now available for consulting, writing, and general digital (and analog) archaeological ethics needs. 🏺

This includes us - an MA educated field archaeologist and a PhD educated digital archaeologist. 🏺 Tonight is a night of hard panic in our home. We were fine at the 18.6 threshold. We exceeded it no problem. But there is no way to hit 37.5 on a field arch salary.
