Twitter is abuzz today with this perfect London class divide microcosm. People who don't own the handful of multimillion pound penthouses (and merely rent or own 'affordable' units costing a mere £700k) in these blocks have to look out of their windows and watch the super rich splash about on a giant platform made of hubris. I hear it's unsinkable.

Meanwhile in real life:

is there a tool which can crawl a website and save it?

wget is the command line tool for doing that, which works very well. Not sure about gui tools though.

A global tax rate, even if it is a paltry 15%, is a giant leap towards fixing the broken taxation system.

lol that the BBC article fails to mention that Cressida Dick has been personally censured about this.
Double lol that she will remain commissioner of the Met because nothing matters.
Triple lol that being personally responsible for a murder didn't matter either.

I guess they assumed they could plop this out while everyone's complaining about the extended lockdown, especially now they've got GB News as an additional source of interference for them.

McKenzie Scott easily giving scads of her money to charities also kinda proves that Bezos could do so much more and really just doesn't want to.

Especially bad since billionaires like Scott can 'give away' their wealth but end up with more money than they started with.

Random request. My dad asked me how he could listen to his bbc jazz radio shows away from his computer. I told him to buy a cheap mp3 player (because I thought you could just download the mp3's as podcasts). It seems for some stuff you can't (you need the app on a smart phone.

Is there a less legit way of ripping the stream from the bbc site to an mp3 that I could email him each week? I feel guilty now because he bought the mp3 player.

Youtube-dl can rip the audio, just run
