I didn't really mind working in the lab when there were one or two people in there but now it's going to be full all the time, and like I've been saying these people are loving morons

it's weirdly liberating having it fully out in the open that nobody gives a gently caress about people's well being when there's money involved

I'm dreading the end of my furlough tbh, my job is such a barrel of triggers for me. I just hope I get some notice and not "right back to it today please" except without the please probably

Also I'm a big old baldy with a weird head, there's a weird little hillock at the back of my noggin which I guess must be where it stores the anxiety or something

Head shaming:

there were a whole pile of bald blokes on twitter last night apologizing on behalf of slapheads everywhere (their words) for the behaviour of Cummings and how a whole section of society should not be held responsible for the actions of one man. It was quite funny. I can't find it now.

Glad yours are doing better, we have another sick kitty at the moment with crystals in the bladder that can't be shifted after trying everything from the vet so we're having to go get ultrasounds done looking for other issues so I sympathise!

I had a conspiratorial thought in the shower this morning that maybe UK democracy been a sham for ages, and that the intelligence services have forever been in control of who does and doesn't get elected as part of an overall "interests of the nation" agenda and that they deliberately keep a stranglehold on the press to ensure people vote the 'right' way, and that they only let labour get in occasionally because otherwise it would be too obvious, but otherwise don't give a poo poo about democracy because the only thing that matters is britain's power in the world. Would make a good 'conspiracy-unravelling' film but the premise is slightly flawed by the fact that britain's power is in the toilet exactly because of the last 15 years of tory idiots

They don't care so specifically about parties but yeah they do security checks on rising political figures which would almost certainly include funnelling information to relevant figures higher in the party (who had already passed those checks) if they find anything like 'questionable' activity for the sake of 'national security'.

However they are also frequently very bad at their jobs so it's not a complete lock.

Love that they're now muting journalists who ask Cummings related questions (which is almost all of them) to prevent any follow up.

Hancock's even trotting out the 'reasonable people may disagree' line. Love when all of the talking points and agreed responses fit on a piece of A5 paper.

This was the problem with Mr. Robot.

Seasons 1 and 2 were all about how a shadowy cabal of the worlds elite had complete control of the world and had everything planned out.

Then in season 3 they had the main character basically say “poo poo Trump and Brexit prove that there is no master plan. No wait, it’s all part of their plan. Yeah, I got to stop it.”

Like it tried to ignore what was happening in the real world by keeping everything in 2015/16, but it was obvious that the show was dancing around the elephants in the room.

"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
This is going to end the lockdown, then Cummings will smugly claim it was all 5D chess by his giant brain to get the scared chattel back out in the fields.

Then 500,000 people will die of rona and they’ll talk about them as the glorious dead.

Gove elected with landslide.

We definitely need a way to innoculate kids against post-truth poo poo for when despite clear incompetence and a massive death toll, the baddies come out of this proclaiming themselves the bigly winners.

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

Kids are already doing a much better job at seeing through it than the old are.

Also strictly the death toll I think is more likely to top out around 300 000 in the immediate term because once about 50% of people have been infected that's likely to reduce the chance of a viable host enough to push the infectivity below 1 even without distancing.

So you know, swings and roundabouts.
