Suella Braverman's claim that the Human Rights Act (UK) is only good for criminals is an act of malign misdirection.

Politicians who attack human rights want to remove safeguards that protect us all from government and corporate abuses of power.

To give them free rein over our lives.

I really want to write stuff about basic troubleshooting theory because I don’t know who is teaching it.
I see endless “run this command” search results that establish nothing and have no tests for relevance to the issue.
There are themes that take so much experience to connect.

This is explosive: Brexiteer ultras pushing a (non-working, failed to reach clinical trials) COVID vaccine tried to get MI5 to spy on the staff of the science journal "Nature", fomented an anti-science campaign via the Daily Telegraph, and createdand spread a conspiracy theory falsely blaming a Chinese biowar lab for creating COVID:

WOW.

Good time to switch to @thunderbird, folks!

THIS EVENING

There is a wealth of data available from the 2021 census, a decadal poll of who we are, what we do and where we live.

Bolton Council, Manchester City Council and GMCA are all joining us to dig into this data and share insights about what the census does and doesn’t contain.

Bring a device if you want to get your hands dirty, if not you can team up with others or listen to the expert advice on hand.

Tonight, 6.30pm, full details >> https://www.opendatamanchester.org.uk/event/making-sense-of-the-2021-census/

Time for the evergreen Norm meme..

I gave in and “signed up” for the WiFi.

Well, Mr Fred Blogs, DoB 2000-01-01 did, anyway.

WTF does anyone even try to collect personal data for such stuff. Apart from GDPR, does anyone put in “real” details, ever?
