Don't worry, nobody read Marx - most of those declaring allegiance to Marxism today know him from third-party explainers like those written by David Harvey, which are filled with statements like "this Marx statement is indeed cryptic but lets assume he meant X", desperately trying to make sense out of nonsense.

I can imagine this happening - these Uaz-496 are quite spacious and simple skeleton chairs, so you can actually load much more people inside than into a regular car. I was driving these a lot, packing 10 adults was nothing impossible - especially when drunk 😂

You're e-mailing a document that most people will just read, but you know one or two will want the editable version. Did you know you can send a PDF that has the source document embedded within?

Бедным британским рыбакам нечем платить ипотеку после брексита, так как клятые европейцы теперь не пускают на их рынок.

Угадайте кто больше всех топил за брексит и кричал, что нужно вернуть суверенное право британцев ловить в своих морях и выгнать оттуда клятых французов?

Мне кажется националисты и прочие возродители духовных скреп во всех странах одинаковы. Забросают говном соседей, насрут себе а потом удивляются, что как-то у них дома дурно пахнет.

Brezhnev's talks with Giscard d'Estaing (1977), complaining that people who criticise are "well paid".

Technically, Brezhnev is right: in 80's Poland average salary was like $20 per month, which was probably 1/100-1/10 of what people in the West earned at the time, so literally anyone there was indeed "well paid", including those few who talked badly about USSR.

Now would be a really clever time for the EU to come in with all of the regulation it wants to do to FB.

@Wetrix Of course, because too few people left WhatsApp so their rational choice is just to ignore leavers 🤷

@cjd So seems like Dawkins made a hypothesis, and it has been now demonstrated experimentally.

@cjd

On Twitter where I originally found it someone actually did mention Dawkins in comments to this article!

Пока весь мир поздравляет NASA с успешной посадкой марсохода, 57-летний Дима Рогозин публикует в твиттере глупые картинки (которые потом удаляет):

This is so meta… Yesterday I tooted about finishing Snowden's book, and today YouTube is *suddenly* recommending me an interview with him. This never happened before, for any of the topics I toot here…

The only thing that changed, of course, is that a few days ago I started cross-posting my toots to Twitter. This is just a tad beyond my willingness to believe coincidences :-) Hey, #surveillancecapitalism, go F yourself!

(Considering shutting down cross-posting.)
