A friend is currently at a flea market in rural PA, and is reporting that about half the booths are 3D printed crud. It makes me think this is dead Internet theory brought to meatspace.

Is the UK about to rejoin the EU's Erasmus student travel scheme?

Well the Govt. seems to be inviting tenders to run the scheme for 18months from next July... so it looks like (at least) some sort of pilot re-entry into the scheme is being planned.... even if the Govt. says its not going to 'pre-empt' negotiations with the EU

Potentially a little glimmer if post-Brexit good news?

Yebbut, nobut...

Why are the government inviting tenders to operate this scheme? Why must a third party, operating with the intent of making a profit, be brought in to extract money from the national economy for a project that will ultimately benefit Britain?

Why can't civil servants do this for ≈60-80% of the cost of a private company?

When will Downing Street wake up and realise our pockets are being picked; or are they in on the scam?

Now, remember this. Say you want to go north on Bathurst, so you take the north bus on Bathurst. It's not that simple! Going north on Bathurst you will stop at Bathurst station and at this point you must disembark and board the bus facing south. The bus facing south is the one that goes north. If you board the bus facing north at Bathurst Station you will go south at Bathurst. Will you remember this? Because guess what I just forgot
in reply to mcc

there was a bus route at my university for _Main Street_, in this style, and it was my daily commute. I got the hang of it roughly two weeks before I left town for good.
in reply to hackedhead

@hackedhead Maybe it would be easier to remember these weird quirks if the buses weren't on exceptional routes due to construction 1/4 of the year, with the other 3/4 of the year most of the stops having still-posted signs for the exceptional routes that went away 6 months ago

the conman/grifter understands the cracks in how we interpret our world and attacks them.

our lack of time/interest to seek out multiple perspectives on claimed facts. our tendency towards assuming good faith. our tribalism. the US cultural assumption that being rich means someone is smart. the sense that it's generally difficult to lie to someone's face. our desire for simple explanations. basic reciprocity.

Aaaaargh.

Too often, I get another reason to want to write an article, how it's "not all Gen X white guys, but usually Gen X white dudes."

I have plenty of anecdotes myself, but now I'm hearing from a friend whose years of effort are being taken away now that they are finally presentable.

---

I also know many amazing men from the Gen X variety, and to you I request to be more aware of your fellow generation-mates doing one of the following:

1. Ignoring or dismissing women's ideas until a man repeats them.
2. Assuming she is incapable.
3. Letting her do the dirty work and then take the credit, or take over for the fun stuff.
4. Interrupting her while she's presenting at a conference.
5. Negatively judging her for actions that would be praised when a man does them.
6. Being generally dismissive, or interrupting her, denying her skills, displaying misogyny, etc., etc.

(Yes, all these things happened, multiple times, to numerous women.)

---

Also, believe women when they say this shit happens.

Anyway, I'm so pissed on my friend's behalf now.

Annoyingly the FT's latest editorial while accepting the current Govt. inherited a 'poor' economy outlook from the Tories, goes on to argue that the current reduction in jobs & economic activity is the direct result of mistaken policy choices by Labour.

Now I'm not going to say that's there's no link... but (as I've said before) the Bank of England *explicit* policy on inflation has been to slow down the UK economy, yet this isn't mentioned by the FT at all!!

I'm nowhere near a theological expert, but if you think that the role of the Church of England doesn't include commenting on policies that would seriously affect the poorest and most desperate people in the world, you're a fscking idiot.

The Internet has ruined headlines.

It used to be that headlines had names. Now they carefully DO NOT on purpose, because using a generic role description is more likely to get a click-through to see who it is. The problem has bled into ledes as well, which are no longer synopses of stories but rather secondary teasers. You may be a few paragraphs into a story before you can get the information that every Journo 101 teacher would have demanded be in the first 3 lines. fed.brid.gy/r/bsky.app/profile…

"Remember last year’s “eggflation”? When eggs became a luxury item, and suddenly you had people whispering about omelets like they were insider Wall Street trades? Well, now it’s meat’s turn. Beef is through the roof. Chicken prices are strutting higher than Trump’s hair in a wind tunnel. Pork? Forget it. You need a loan application to buy bacon.

The people of Gaza need to be wiped out, otherwise there would be a large group of people holding western politicians accountable for what has been done to them, and they'd have to admit fault for the past decades. For most senators, representatives, or members of parliament, it's much easier to remain complicit for just a little bit longer and wait for Israel to “finish the job” than to do what is already long overdue.

Ich weiß, du engagierst dich viel gegen Nazis. Finde ich gut. Durch solche Posts wie diesen hier bekomme ich jedoch heftige mixed signals bezüglich der Ernsthaftigkeit deines Engagements. Ich frage mich, was so eine Werthaltung überhaupt noch für eine Bedeutung hat, wenn du so etwas hier schreibst. Ja, ich folge dir nicht; einfach weil mir deine Palästina-Solidarität von sehr starken Gefühlen und Vorurteilen sowie einer sehr einseitigen Informationslage getrieben zu sein scheint. Aber ich kann das hier auch nicht unkommentiert stehen lassen. Solche Posts sind Wasser auf die Mühlen für gefährliche Ressentiments, Mobmentalität und billigsten progressiven Populismus. Schade.

Aid flotilla set to sail to Gaza - France 24, 31/08/2025

A flotilla carrying aid and various public figures, including Greta Thunberg and European lawmakers, is set to sail from Barcelona on Sunday, aiming to reach Gaza by mid-September. Organisers called it the largest solidarity mission yet, after Israel blocked the two previous attempts. Camille Knight reports.

The weird thing I remember from the episode I was on is you stopped the whole thing to say what the name and number of the podcast was. I never forgot that as a podcast rule after that.

Say the name and episode date or number to start.

Anyway, I appreciate your work so much and remember all the work you did and appreciate it.
