Had a few folks reach out and ask why we're no longer connected on the dumpster fire that is LinkedIn. Here's the gist of it.

Zoe Williams (Guardian) thinks Rishi Sunak might actually be trying to lose the election & that sort of makes sense;

The Tories have so wrecked the country that their best bet is to walk away, leave Labour the almost impossible task of clearing up the mess & then in five years time (with the collusion of a supine right wing press) claim Labour have had their chance & the Tories can now save us from the wreckage (without acknowledging its Tory policies that did it)!

@clumpytree @mattwilcox @ChrisMayLA6 @patrick_h_lauke I've lived in various democracies now, both westminster system and others, and I think the single biggest dividing line I would draw would be compulsory voting. It's a big +.

And speaking for tech the public just didn’t get, I think it’s interesting and instructive that SecondLife is almost invisible, yet is still used as a community enabler that seems very compatible with ActivityPub. I’ve always thought SL might make a comeback if the right app emerged.

Many of us have been sounding the alarm on this for years.

Welp.

Every positive change in society since the divine right of kings is a front in the culture war. It's just that some of them (as yet) remain far from the frontlines.
