The corners of the British establishment are just starting to curl up in journalistic indignation at the horror that is Nigel Farage, but it doesn't have the sense of gleeful cruelty that their attacks against Jeremy Corbyn took on, instead it feels peevish and scared, and isn't as pervasive.

Anyone interested in 3D printing some funky dice—like a "fair dragon" which can land in three different ways, or a single die equivalent to to 2D6? We've now put printable STL files online: www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Pro... More info here: hbaktash.github.io

Corporations used to go after people for copying music to put on an iPod shuffle for convenience; now they are arguing they should get to possess everything creative ever made by a human for their anticreativity planet killing engines We got a dystopian future but it's such a dumb one

I am appalled at the recent decision by presiding officer at my workplace, made without any consultation with staff, trade unions, or building users. Pleased to see so many colleagues organising to fight this transphobia. No one should have to prove their sex just to pee at work

People were saying 15 years ago that U.S. couldn't keep sending infinite dollars to China for stuff. China gets U.S. treasuries in return, which presumably pay out in dollars as well, so what does China do with all the dollars? Do they just buy more U.S. debt?

If a male police officer wants to strip search a woman (trans or cis) in the U.K. all he has to do is say that he thought she was trans. It's horrible making points on the basis that cis women might catch flack from flagrant bigotry against minorities, but the policy is BONKERS!

#UK #JKR In what comes as a surprise to nobody, JK Rowling has embarked on her next phase of her path to radicalization. She now also offers to fund legal cases - provided applicants meet certain criteria. jkrwf.org?fbclid=IwQ0x...

Both the US and UK seem to be racing to utterly dismantle the availability of trans healthcare for everyone, through any means. This will affect trans adults too.

It's amazing that the rich, who've just had perhaps the best 50 years ever in recorded history (counter arguments welcome), now want even more.
