Hello friends, today we scattered my aunt's ashes on the shores of the beach of Hayling Island under a swollen sky which threatened but didn't deliver rain while HMS Prince Of Wales made its first journey into Portsmouth. It was a lot more emotional than I thought it would be.

radvice posted:Went door-knocking for Labour this morning, first time doing it but the other folks were great and let me shadow for a while. My area's fairly safe Labour and most people were positive/friendly, had to explain that Labour is aiming for a 2nd referendum to someone who claimed he'd heard nothing about it, which left me blinking for a few seconds but it all felt very worthwhile. This thread really motivated me to head out and actually do something for the party. Next time, probably going to use that map and find a more marginal seat to help out in. You weren't Bristol North West were you? if so, hi you were shadowing me.

forkboy84 posted:As well as being a morally monstrous policy, refusing to borrow at a time when interest rates are basically zero is just monumentally loving stupid. Even on their own idiotic credit-card understanding of the economy, they're promising that a LibDem government would always tax us more than it has any need to.

ThomasPaine posted:Simmer down, I would if for example they had an accent I didn't recognise. "Where are you from?" No, seriously, just ask "Where are you from?" and then take an interest in their answer regardless of if it's Liverpool or Punjab. If somebody wants to talk about their ethnic background and they feel comfortable with you, they'll probably answer that way. If not, then you might get to hear about somewhere in Britain you've never been before. I mean, take this with a grain of salt, because I'm white, but you sort of have to accept there's almost no polite way to push that question further. In my experience though, if you show genuine interest, people are pretty happy to talk about where they came from, their family background, their cool accent, whatever, and I assume this is because it's pretty obvious when the question's being asked in good faith, vs being racist.

Hungry posted:"Where are you from?" Also it can be about how you ask, right? Like if you think somebody has an interesting accent, ask "Where's your accent from?" 'cause it could be that they consider themselves as "from" Liverpool or wherever, but they have, say, Hungarian parents and maybe they spent some time there as a kid or something.

Lightningproof posted:https://www.nme.com/news/music/new-letter-supporting-jeremy-corbyn-2568734 Good list there, including David Graeber (who is actually Jewish, holy poo poo that makes a change for this kind of letter). Will enjoy the Guardian not publishing it, or publishing then suddenly removing it like the last pro-corbyn letter.

Glad he is though, I can appreciate Alan Partridge even more than I already do! Not sure whether Steve Coogan is a Corbyn fan but he is a massive fan of investment in education, when he lived near Brighton he was always campaigning for more funds for the local schools.

The right have spent decades cultivating monsters as their power base. Expect them to get worse and more fashy until we break the cycle. Leveson 2 will be a very important step. Get rid of the two minutes' hate and people will spend less of their brain on hatred.

I think it just gradually slowed over the years, people appear to still be posting. the newsletter came back a few years ago, even. Rob is still around, messing about on twitter. The programmer went on to co-found Slack, apparently. Tom Scott does youtube videos now. "mrandmrswheatley" are acclaimed filmmakers. soon my web hosting will run out and nobody will see that one time i got a front page in 2003 anymore. time moves on forever

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Just had a sharp reminder to self that many people are clueless about what I assume is 'common knowledge'. So easy to assume most people know the same things I do. Like to back to your point, I bet most people voting won't know about They Work For You, or the best way to google Jo Swinson without getting a page full of Lib Dem funded results. I mean the podcast is usually pretty good - especially Naptime - at pausing to briefly explain what something is when it's a big or complicated concept, but I guess when you're constantly thinking your way round this kind of stuff you kind of forget that there are people who are still learning who might need stuff explained.
