I read the Neoliberalism book by David Harvey after realising he's the cool old guy from the YouTubes about Marx's Capital, but I went a bit cross-eyed every time he talked about international finance. Is there a babbys first book for this sort of thing?

Is there a thread I can go to to ask about advice for getting into computer-touching as a second career? I need to make a drat positive change in my life and I'm sick of earning poo poo money for a company that doesn't care. I'd like to earn decent money for a company that doesn't care.

Some more goat stuff: My parents used to keep goats back in the 60s. We used to live in a house with two sets of stairs and the goats used to charge up the backstairs and come down the front stairs. My dad was the goat milker. Nanny goats get jealous of people who the goat milker might be affectionate with in its presence. We had a swing in the garden, if mum was on the swing and dad wasn't in view of the goat, the nanny goat would charge at mum from behind while she was on the swing. My sister and I used to sneak into the barn and sit amongst the sacks of maize flakes meant for the goats and sit and eat handfuls oblivious to the fact that mice and rats probably ran riot through the maize flakes. Goats are also good for keeping the grass down in orchards and graveyards. They got goats because I had terrible eczema and at the time it was believed that cows' milk caused eczema. We had 18 pints of goats milk a day which dad would turn into butter and cheese. But I hated it and refused to consume goat milk products. So every day there was 1 pint of cows' milk for me from the milkman. One time, there was a photo of my dad and us kids in the local paper with the goat kids. Oh and I missed one - not our goats but a relative's goats. The nanny had kids at midnight in the snow one Christmas. They froze to death in the snow. My relative cleaned them up and put them in the freezer and several months later dished them up to the family as 'lamb'. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Nov 4, 2021 |

Geese are also good at keeping grass down if you want smaller omnivorous territorial psychopaths.

Interesting data point on the Labour data breach thing - I received an email about it on the email address I use for my union stuff, but not the one I used to register with Labour when I was a member (and not the burner address I used to complain about some issues at my CLP). So I *think* the database that's been popped is affiliate members only, particularly as I literally never used that address in any of my actual dealings with the party proper. Which itself raises questions about why those details would be held in a separate, and presumably less secure, system.

It's a reasonable assumption from your circumstances but it isn't just affiliates. I'm a member and my best mate was a member (he left this year) and we both received the email.

They'd never have done this if there was a functioning opposition dominating the media narrative and keeping them off-balance. They know they'll only receive the most tepid, ineffective pushback from Labour, so why not do it? If Labour was capable of making the Tories bleed, the sharks of the media would have been all over them, just shows how useless they are right now.

Heck no, they're doubling down, just like our government would do. I can imagine that they might write another article "Angry lesbians are assaulting vulnerable women" based on that awful lily woman because its not exactly a big leap to go from terfdom to outright homophobia. Gotta have a minority group to bash, so why not lesbians too? And if/when their bigotry spills over, the cheerleaders will be out in force, as usual.
