True, he should've linked to where he got them.

Nostr isn't part of the Fediverse? It's not even federated.

I'm sure capitulating to the far-right's framing and letting them control the narrative won't backfire in the slightest.

One MP said one of the main pieces of advice had been to identify projects local voters have long been asking for and to make sure they are delivered. McSweeney has told allies he helped defeat the British National party in east London 15 years ago in part by focusing on areas where previous local and national governments had promised infrastructure projects but failed to build them.

Thank god someone high up in Labour has a head on their shoulders. You defeat the far-right by making people's lives better.

I should've guessed someone on SDF wouldn't be using a phone.

Pretty bad, they made me fight an albatross-sized emperor with nothing but bread rolls.

And now, analysis of NHS statistics has shown that people in poorer areas – who already have fewer doctors per thousand residents anyway – are the ones bearing the much greater brunt of the replacement of what ‘doctors’ they do have by non-doctor ‘associates’. James Steen, head of the British Medical Association (BMA) in London, has published charts showing the statistics for access to ‘clinical’ staff by wealth and the percentage of ‘associates’ – and finds that the poor have less access and among those they can access, the percentage of associates without medical training is far higher

These graphs are actually from here, and the analysis was done by Madeline Sherratt and Jaimie Kaffash. Very shoddy on Skwawkbox's part given how easily I has able to find them.

As a metalhead, the idea that every post has a little Satanism appeals to me greatly.

He stirs a lot of shit on his Mastodon account and gets into spats with other fedi devs. Just the other day he got into a one-sided spat with the GtS dev because the GtS dev implemented a feature to randomise the number of active users, which led to goblin.technology topping pixelfed.social in the FediDB charts. He then accused them of doing this to undermine him specifically, of wanting to 'de-legitimize Pixelfeds growth', despite it being explicitly a privacy feature.

At least 4 at any time and apparently the collective noun for flamingos is 'flamboyance'.

Yeah, it's why I keep a pack of pink wafers on my ~~person~~ bird at all times.
