Portland: I'll be getting one of these shortly, so if someone would like me to bring sound gear to the next protest, we'll be loud and sound good. https://fnd.us/protestsound?ref=sh_7BWZbd

Last Friday I had another of my periodic discussions with John Coleman and Paula de Angelis, this one focused on the Israeli genocide in Gaza. https://www.bitchute.com/video/GQWMKu9NH5E2/

@stefanie @davidrovics Now there's a real protest-song. Woow!

Things I don't understand about this: 80% of the nouns, 20% of the verbs and about 20% of the adjectives too!

@stefanie I'd be very surprised if cold-calling was illegal in any country in Europe. Interesting to know if it is illegal anywhere.

@mikecarter It's actually a statue called "The Boy David": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Gun_Corps_Memorial

@mikecarter I remember complaining about some department of the FCDO taking a rifle that was evidence in a court case in Northern Ireland and putting it in the Imperial War Museum. And the family of the man who had been convicted were left in the lurch. I guess I'm not in jail, I'm in the Imperial War Museum. Certainly looks like it. The most shocking, to me was the memorial to the soldiers of the Machine Gun Corps at Marble Arch. When I first arrived here I thought that was mad.

Success!
It took a solid 14 hours of debugging and fixing the most facepalmingly stupid mistakes, but now the new driver is working!

Can't say the same about color printing or the interpretation of dynamic HTML that goes on these days. I think we have to understand that we have lost control of the system rather longer ago than when I was in Banais' cafe in La Paz, Bolivia. What happened? Did Bolivia disappear off the map? I was thinking about stuff like that. That it could actually happen. It's kind of natural, in a way. The more complex a system gets the more autonomy it actually has. Oops-a-daisy-angel, help me!
