KEEPING THEM LOCKED UP WHILE THEIR
HEALTH DETERIORATES IS NEEDLESS
CRUELTY. EVERY DAY OF INACTION
INCREASES THE RISK OF PERMANENT HARM
OR DEATH.
THAT SUCH CONDITIONS EXIST IN A
COUNTRY THAT CLAIMS TO UPHOLD
JUSTICE SHOULD ALARM EVERYONE.
IT IS AN INTOLERABLE SITUATION THAT NO
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT SHOULD EVER
ALLOW.
THE GOVERNMENT MUST MEET THEIR
9 DEMANDS AND THEY MUST BE GRANTED
BAIL IMMEDIATELY.
WE URGE OUR MEMBERS TO USE THE
ACTION TOOLKIT IN OUR BIO, WHICH SETS
OUT THE PRIORITY STEPS TO SUPPORT
THE HUNGER STRIKERS. THIS INCLUDES
SIGNING THE OPEN LETTER TO DAVID
LAMMY AND WRITING TO YOUR OWN MP
Q TO BACK THE EARLY DAY MOTION CALLING
FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION.

Text:
SOME HAVE BEEN KEPT ON REMAND FOR
OVER TWO YEARS, WAITING FOR TRIALS
THAT REMAIN MONTHS AWAY WHILE THE
GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO IGNORE THEIR
SITUATION ENTIRELY. THERE HAS BEEN NO
MEANINGFUL RESPONSE, NO URGENCY AND
NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE SUFFERING.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THESE PRISONERS
DOES NOT EXIST IN ISOLATION. IT REFLECTS
A WIDER AND DEEPLY TROUBLING
AUTHORITARIAN TURN IN THIS COUNTRY.
IN RECENT MONTHS, WE HAVE SEEN THE
GOVERNMENT REPEATEDLY TRY TO CRACK
DOWN ON PROTESTS AND FREE SPEECH,
PURSUING SWEEPING NEW POLICE POWERS
TO RESTRICT DEMONSTRATIONS AND THE
RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE, WHILST STRETCHING
TERRORISM LAWS TO TARGET PROTEST
GROUPS.
IT IS IN THIS CLIMATE THAT THE GOVERNMENT
i HAS CHOSEN TO DETAIN PEOPLE FOR
EXTRAORDINARY PERIODS WITHOUT TRIAL,
WHILE ENSURING THAT A HUNGER STRIKE OF
THIS SCALE REMAINS HIDDEN BEHIND A
NEAR-TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE HUNGER STRIKERS

THE LARGEST POLITICAL HUNGER STRIKE
IN DECADES IS UNFOLDING RIGHT NOW.

EIGHT BRAVE POLITICAL PRISONERS,
TARGETED FOR TRYING TO DISRUPT
THE FLOW OF BRITISH-MADE WEAPONS
THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO BOMB HOMES,
KILL FAMILIES AND TEAR APART
PALESTINIAN COMMUNITIES, REMAIN
BEHIND BARS WHILE OUR GOVERNMENT
CONTINUES TO ENABLE THIS GENOCIDE.

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE NOW ENTERING

WITH SEVERAL ALREADY TAKEN TO

AND YET, NOT ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN
CONVICTED OF ANYTHING.

1970s Britain owned its water, transport, mail, energy, millions of council houses and sat on a huge North Sea energy reserve. The national debt was £80bn.
1980s #Neoliberalism / #privatisation started by Thatcher-lead Tories destroyed the UK.
2025 Britain has no assets and a national debt of £2,746.6 Billion*

Police Sweeps of Homeless Camps are Worse Than You Think www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/05/p... Enforcement often involves “sweeps” where officers destroy or confiscate property and arrest or fine unhoused individuals. #Occupy #ACORN #Canada #USA #HousingCrisis

I think that nature is a better artist than me. Perhaps therefore, my jacket and trouser pockets are always full after a walk in the woods. And then I put the stuff on the table and talk to it, or it talks to me. After all that chatting, I have a new collage. 😉

#nature #collage #intuitiveEmbroidery #mixedmedia #embroidery #forest #bark #acorn #storytelling #NatureMatchCuts #artist #AtelierTetebrec

A rectangular (portrait) abstract collage on a yellow background. The composition is based on a cross with the intersection point shifted to the top right. It's made with different white papers (transparent fluffy mulberry paper and lace print) and nature findings (wild cherry bark, a grea lichen, a very long acorn (like a pendant), an intertwined structure (root?), and some small copper stars. The natural holes in the bark are embroidered with silver thread.

A completely curled and intertwined wooden structure marks the intersection point. If I remember well, it was a root found in a maize field.

A long acorn mounted like a pendant under a real lichen. It comes from a nearly 200 yrs old oak.

The outer bark of a wild cherry, native to our forest edges. It's placed in the focus of the collage. The natural holes let me think of a writing done by the tree - I embroidered abstract signs along these holes (with silver thread). They look like unknown letters from another civilisation.

неприятно болеть.

Одновременно, за счёт некоторого упоротства, удалось поизучать пару вещей.

Наткнулся и потыкал очень простой верификатор теорем Acorn[1]. Оно прикольное, оно простое, оно тупое (там не очень большая база готовых теорем, и, по ощущениям, оно ещё и немного тупит). Возможно также плюс - что есть плагин для VS Code. Код на acorn выглядит примерно так:

```acorn
theorem threeven_plus_three(n: Nat) {
threeven(n) implies threeven(n + 3)
} by {
let d: Nat satisfy {
3 * d = n
}
3 * (d + 1) = n + 3
}
```
A implies B - из A следует B,
threeven - функция (Nat) -> Bool, определённая ранее,
переменная n: Nat - произвольное натуральное число.

Здесь доказывается, что если n делится на 3 без остатка, то и n+3 делится на 3 без остатка.

К сожалению, не то, что я вот сейчас хотел, т.к. это всё же не solver а proover, но прикольно было потыкаться. Как solver тыкаю другое.

Zolder opruimen; jaargangen KIJK doorlezen (deel 12/veel):

Februari 1984 - Heel even gingen Clive Sinclair en Acorn samenwerken op technologisch vlak in 'MetaLab', later werden het uitdrukkelijke concurrenten. Omdat het misging. De KIJK had het in 1984 al wel over kunstmatige intelligentie, spraakherkenning en kennisbanken.

It’s another BBC Master video from me and in this one I’m taking a quick look at Word Processing 1980’s style using VIEW.

Also, can we transfer a word processing document from the Master to a modern Mac? 🤔

Worth a try. 😁

Color image of oak tree acorns covering the yard, Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, USA. Image shows acorns simply covering the ground under an oak tree in shades of tan and umber and brown filling the photo.

This would be a great opening for a side quest.

Post to /r/Askmen: "How can I befriend the neighborhood crackhead? - I don't smoke crack, but I know that the neighborhood crackhead has been stealing acorns from the local squirrel population and stashing them somewhere. I need to gain access to his acorn stash for reasons that I cannot disclose. How can I befriend him without crack?"

The follow-up talk by another legend in #BBCMicro and #ARM mythology, Steve Furber, is also available now:

I'm trying to get the Acorn Archimedes core for the Mister working.

I'm able to boot it with the Ridcos 3 rom, and the desktop starts. However, I have so far failed to add a hard disc image to it. I created an empty file, and used 'configure idefsdiscs 1' as instructed in the readme for the core. I've had varying degrees of success with this (seeminly depending on the size of the image), but even when a disc is detected, it tells me it's not formatted.

I apparently need a tool called HDform, which I downloaded a floppy image and ran. However, it gives me an error saying it doesn't recognise the disc.

One tried all sorts of variations, and nothing works. Is there anyone with Archimedes experience that can provide some tips?

"From Acorn to ARM with Professor Steve Furber MBE

Professor Steve Furber MBE has had an enormous impact on the computer industry. From inspiring a generation of young coders with the BBC Micro in the '80s to the creation of the ubiquitous ARM CPU, he has been at the heart of an industry."

A very interesting talk about the history of #Acorn Computer.
