If anyone here is in Cardiff or can get to Cardiff on Saturday 18th, and is happy to sit in a theatre, I have 2 tickets for Jonathan Pie Fake News (The Corona Remix) at St David's Hall I can no longer use.

Happy to donate them to someone that can use them (and will).

Tickets are physical do will need to be collected or posted, so act quick.

Private message me if you are interested.

Fair offer policy applies.

@freemo Tell me about it. I hate getting in discussions with people who don't understand logic well. It's necessary to try to make society a more reasonable place , but arguing with people who reason backwards (from conclusion first) or from emotion is incredibly frustrating.

Free Software isn't free (as beer) to produce, but do Mozilla really need to pay million-dollars salaries to its top executives ?

Maybe if they stopped doing that they'll find themselves with enough money to maintain a good web browser...

We’re having a bit of an #IndianSummer here right now as we fast approach #Autumn. The temperature has been in the high 20s for a few days along with bright sunshine. It’s due to last several more days yet.

I often used to wonder where the term Indian Summer came from and later found out that it is actually of #NativeAmerican origin and nothing to do with #Indian #Subcontinental climatic conditions.

#BorisJohnson’s biggest lie about #Europe is finally coming home to roost | Simon Jenkins | The Guardian

Johnson’s interests revolve around Johnson, not the country and not even the #Tories'. He has always been an opportunist.

Talking of whoppers, a huge #BumbleBee happened to fly past while I had my camera in my hand. Luckily, I managed to #photograph it but you don’t get a sense of how big this beautiful specimen was. It was about the size of a golf ball!

Imagine being such a horrible president (Biden) that you actually make someone like Trump look smart.

@freemo

In fairness to Biden, the plan was never for civilians and equipment to go first, last, or in between. They'd simply stay and carry on under the Ghani regime, so the military was the *only* group supposed to exit.

So much for the plan.

I get a certain evil pleasure out of knowing all those raging conspiracy theorist kiddies who always comment on my threads about how COVID is just the flu and other nonsense and then rage quit calling me a sheep are now out there taking livestock medication and dying (or getting very sick).
