Anyway, the entire rhetorical trick to this op-ed, and the one Dustin doesn't want you to notice, is the idea that "labor" and "workers" are literally white bigot men in hard hats who have a Teamsters...
@nprofile1q... (looks up producerism) — oh, every UK party except the greens does that. so _that's_ what it's called. ta.
Starmer: "we're the party for working people!" (subtext: not children, the disabled who can't work, the unemployed, whatever we call "housewives" now, etc etc)
Let's see if Burnham pulls the same trick.

The Free Software movement never escaped from its origins: the early ‘80s MIT AI Lab. Two things were true in this environment:
Back when most computers had tens of KiBs of RAM and 1 MiB was a hug...
@nprofile1q... this is *very* good.

i wonder if anyone reading this is a sailing type that would answer a stupid question? i'm not a boat/ship person, but it looks as i need to buy some line and a couple of pulley blocks. a chandlery seems the best place to do that.
this is going to sound weird, but i want it to get stuff in and out of the attic. i can't carry boxes up a ladder any more; i'm getting old.
so, i bought a vehicle cargo net, some washing line, and a couple of shitty pulleys. it works! two pulley system makes it a doddle to lift a box, and beam in attic shows no signs of strain lifting ~30kg.
but it's all a bit crap. it jams, the cables foul. clearly i need better pulleys, at least.
any suggestions on how i stop the line fouling all the time? any ideas?
i'm thinking proper line would help. what do i need?

@nprofile1q... i feel like if there's any justice then he'd at least get a quick tour of the solar system. i have no idea what itch of curiosity he'd want to have satisfied — life on europa? jupiter's core? — but you would hope…

@nprofile1q... given that he was an atheist, it might be, at least, impolite to tell him that he's dead.
i mean, that might be a terrible shock. bad for his health.

#ScribesAndMakers 09
question for an artist/author
I’d be interested in what Asimov thinks about AI in the real world. It sure sounded good in his robot novels. The reality, not so much.
#AmWritin...
@nprofile1q... well, he died in 1992. so if he's doing any thinking at all, it's not in the "real" world…

Like, brey, if there was a street drug so powerful you could OD off just sniffing the air it was in - you'd be cleaning out whole apartment buildings of dead people.
This is utter nonsense. Ain't no ...
@nprofile1q... useful for detecting undercover cops, if it were true.

Like, he's saying directly what he wil...
@nprofile1q... well, he's a politician. he's saying whatever he thinks he has to say. i don't listen to them when they are trying to be elected.
he's also not my friend or my ally. i'm not holding my breath for him to be Good.
i note he's said he wants electoral reform, though. he's said that before, i think. long term, if he introduced PR, that would be the most positive thing that happened here since the NHS.
if he's also going to be all nazi about refugees, he can still get in the sea. But it would be a win.

@nprofile1q... that is perfectly, entirely reasonable.
i have no idea what Burnham will do if he becomes leader.
i do know what Starmer will do, though.
it's a punt. i'm betting he can't be worse. (not, in fact, that i have anything to bet or any other way to influence the game.)

Lol...
trying to figure out why the British media is suddenly much more excited about Andy Burnham and uh... yeah, buddy made his deals with the devil already.

@nprofile1q... i'm not voting labour but i do think labour lurching back to the left would be good for the country. i'll take a little win (or a possibility of one, even) over the steady stream of bad shit we've been getting.
so in that spirit: Burnham thinks he has to appeal to the racist vote to win the seat. that area voted for Brexit bigtime.
maybe he'd rather not. i dunno. but he's got to be an MP before he can lead the country.
