    Well played sir! The #AU #PirateParty ran in the last election under the slogan "Transparency, Liberty and Digital Reform". TLDR.

    I still purge punctuation from my filenames on the premise that you never know when you may have to use a #Windows computer. Eagerly anticipating the day when I know I will never have to use a Windows computer.

    "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." #q Abraham Lincoln

    1. Obama says Trump's policies would 'backfire' in fight against Isis
      from the Guardian
      President warns that while Isis might be losing territory in Middle East, it could still inspire individuals to commit attacks overseas

    1. Random man walks up to Muslim family, makes the world a better place
      from indy100
      Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim-American soldier who was killed in the Iraq War, told Republican candidate Donald Trump he was wrong choice for America because he was "sowing division", on Thursday night.

    I don't see the humour in shallow people, with implausibly huge apartments despite apparently not having to work for a living, relentlessly insulting each other for half an hour. So I was unprepared for the success of the Big Bang Theory. #TV

    #AU free-to-air #TV update: They've started Friends from the beginning, again, without even a short Seinfeld break. I don't know if they got to the end or just thought people prefer the early, less unfunny ones.

    1. I read the Chilcot report as I travelled across Syria this week
      from The Independent
      I guess a Nuremburg trial might have been a better place to sort out the minutiae of the Blair-Bush crimes we committed to go to war in the Middle East.  We brought about the deaths of up to half a million people, most of them Muslims who were as innocent as Blair was guilty. A Nuremburg-style court might thus have concentrated more on the mass Arab victims of our criminal expedition than the heinous guilt and “profound regret” – his words, of course – of Lord Blair of Kut al-Amara.

    1. Jeremy Corbyn has responded to Chilcot - but didn't mention Tony Blair
      from The Independent
      The Iraq War was an “act of military aggression, launched on a false pretext” and the “colonial style occupation” that followed led to the rise of ISIS, Jeremy Corbyn has said in response to the publication of the Chilcot Report. Speaking in the House of Commons, the Labour leader said that the war had “long been regarded as illegal by the overwhelming weight of international legal opinion” but refrained from calling for legal consequences for Tony Blair.

    @kuro Must admit to total ignorance of #HPR. Crowdsourcing a #podcast sounds intriguing and/or promising and/or ghastly. Will give it a listen tonight, though I'm not a hacker any more, except in a very loose non-IT sense. http://hackerpublicradio.org

    I have a radical new design for the electric car: first, it should run on rails, so that it can't swerve off course in the event of a system failure; second, to aid traffic control, groups of them should be tethered together, nose to tail, in what you might call a "train".
