99 months since we lost 72 loved ones in the Grenfell fire.

Still no justice.

As the Government begins to demolish the Tower, please keep Grenfell in your hearts. We will never forget — and we will not stop until justice is done.

Thanks, l got 8/10. I'm a visual artist, but I don't work with video or digital media. But it's one thing to do a quiz where you know some things are AI and another to go through life being that suspicious of everything.

Some female partners are also nerdy, left-of-centre, pretentious, and love this stuff. No need to re-read Simulacra and Simulation for me, I remember it well enough from pretentious art school. Thanks for the heads up!

'Biological reality': What genetics has taught us about race As US President Donald Trump takes aim at the Smithsonian Institution for "anti-American ideology", Adam Rutherford examines what the science of genetics has taught us about race.

Race is a social construct. But what does that mean, and why do we say this? An explainer, in the wake of Trump being racist and wrong (pt 675)

The father of an ex of mine used to put toilet paper in the fridge in preparation for the morning after a curry. Maybe he should try it.

Meanwhile same film is streaming on national public television in Sweden. So much for freedom of speech in the USA.

Lite bilder från stormningen av Maersk. Fortfarande många här. Polisen har försökt flytta sittande demonstranter men misslyckats. Greta Thunberg på plats i aktionen.

Well I have moved over here from twitter (I refuse to use its stupid porn name), and honestly, it is such a relief not to be wading through bots all posting identical rightwing rage bait.
