I spent most of today sitting under a gazebo in a park helping kids make paper helicopters. It was a lovely day and now I'm utterly shattered in that deeply satisfied but can't move kind of way.

The most frustrating one I've encountered was a carpark right on the coast, where signal was patchy at best. And it needed a different app to the six or seven we already had. Far too much time wasted walking up and down trying to download the app.

Yep. Until we get a better system in the UK, I typically vote for whoever is most likely to beat the Conservatives, but I'm under no illusions that they're a *good* choice.

They tend to go by the name Conservative here in the UK. The main alternative, Labour, have massive flaws, but they're not nearly as bad.

From what I understand of US politics, this is all analogous.

See also "politicians are all as bad as each other." It's not true and it minimises the horrors inflicted by the worst.

@tommorris ad blocking won't go away until ads stop being intrusive. As the execs aren't likely to sign that off, we're all stuck in the arms race.

Today I am "celebrating" 9 months of #LongCovid with several nice long rests. I had a lovely lie down on the grass under a tree earlier, and now I'm enjoying sharing my sofa with the dog.

Some from personal experience:

This is the first time I'm encountering your service and having to install an app is time, hassle, and uses data allowance.

All I want to do is read this article someone linked to. Websites are good at delivering content.

I don't want to make yet another account that I need yet another password for.

I want the same experience/functions across devices.

My phone storage / home screen is full.

"The U.S. birthrate is down sharply from 15 years ago, causing economists to worry about the long-term implications of a shrinking population. Why are American women having fewer children than they say they want?"

@clacksee is that... is that Tories talking about doing collective action? Are they threatening to withholding their labour if their leadership doesn't agree to their demands? The same Tories who think unions and protests should be illegal?

Here in the UK tight in this context means won't pay, rather than can't. Derived from tight-fisted, ie, holding on to their money hard so nobody can take it.

Whether he was at any point tight in the drunk sense, well, there's evidence to suggest he has been for most of his adult life...

Part of the fear is no accountability.

If Steph on reception tells customers something incorrect, then Steph may get extra training or, if it happens frequently, disciplinary procedures up to and including being let go.

If AI tells me something incorrect... :shrug:

If Steph said something inflammatory, libellous, or illegal (hate speech), Steph can be prosecuted.

Who is personally responsible for AI "errors"? Fines are just a cost of business.

This year's KS2 SATs seem to have been even worse than previous years in terms of causing stress and anxiety in 10 and 11 year olds.

The pressure on primary schools to perform in league tables cascades down to pressure on children. High schools regularly ignore SATs, so they have little impact on children's ongoing education.

Nobody benefits, but lots of teachers, pupils, and families are damaged.

It needs to stop.

Where is the celebration of making art, or raising children, or growing your own, or just getting through the bloody day in our crappy one-size-fits-nobody world? Even hobbies have to be a hustle. It's oppressive and predatory and gaslighty.

So here I am with a big cheer and a slice of homemade cake for anyone carving out their own way of living! Your value as a person is so much more than your value as a worker.
