Politics is not just for the mid-terms! If you have been energised/radicalised and are looking for some way to continue helping, ProgCode (join.progco.de) are a group of progressive coders and non-coders, working on tech for political change.

You don't need to be a coder to join, there's lots of ways for people of any background to help out, just fill out the registration form and get involved!

My own project, Wobbly (21st century worker's power), has been massively helped by ProgCode

Just finished Other Minds by Peter Godfrey Smith, I'd recommend it for the colour pictures of octopuses and cuttlefish alone. The rest of the book, while not lovely pictures of undersea life, is also worth reading

Bruce Maddox is Jordan Peterson, improves the show by 10%

Interestingly, by having better vocal technique, the guy is butchering the song.

Trying not to go full Ayn Rand Objectivist "All government men are parasites on the true individual" after the local transit authority eliminated our coop from their so-called "innovation challenge" because our idea was too innovative

I fucking hate them, I want them to die, I hate this region, I hate this country, and if I could press a button to slit everyone's throats I would

@LeoSammallahti nuclear reactors imply corporate and state power, I think that's why green people don't like them

I'd recommend Bernie Sanders supporters give this a read, the English Ideology has an American analogue, and the ultra-remainers map closely on to #theresistance. If you don't want to get fucked by your centrists like we were, it's helpful to understand what they're going through

I love fried egg sandwiches but I don't love getting yolk on my fingers

I suppose I could eat it with disposable gloves on-I shouldn't eat with disposable gloves on

My fellow coop members: friends, brothers, and sometimes, like today, useless arseholes

No no
No no no no
No no no no
No no
There's no limit!

Fantastic song to hear at the gym but not to be taken literally, as that could be very dangerous, especially with free weights involved

I don't know Haskell (or any functional programming) much, but this is cool

I'm so gone

Christmas is somewhere between a lilac and a light green. It's a mauve between the two. Happy orange wherever you are

The back of the jacket is key

Metro Metro Man

I've got to be
A Metro Man

My main failing as a developer is I take it very personally when it doesn't work

I'm not stressed out mate, really, I just long for the gentle caress of sleep, and I curse the cruel slap of the morning light

An arbitrarily large arse
