Foucault might not think it that much of a change. Probably depends on the type of learning environment.

I hope you can also still find funny cat videos.

This is long over due!

I don't always agree with Jessie but the idea that voting is only as good as the voters and more action is needed for change seems intuitive. Progressive groups have often had mixed motives and bad elements. Critical reflection over ideals and methods seems a good idea.

I was initially unsure if 'hoover' was a verb or noun.

If he never made another film it will not be soon enough. But his criticisms seem to be terrible and should stop (although maybe outlets should just not publish them).

Indeed. Although I'm sure they provide only the best cocaine, I can't imagine why anyone would want to be seen dead at their events.

I think the argument we left capitalism behind long ago looks increasingly plausible.

So hopefully you got the royalties from the copies I bought.

Given I think that a lot of the anti-social media crowd are conservative and that big tech are far right, if it weren't for the young people in the middle, I would be happy to watch them fight.

I could also imagine they looked at War of the Worlds posters, various horror films, especially Lovecraft, and thought 'what if the monsters treated as the villains were aspirational?'

You get the impression that they think that if they say 'cis' they lose the argument. This might imply they don't think their argument is very strong.

That has to up their with the Hallowe'en light sabre duel.

Repeatedly.

I find @jennytrout.bsky.social's view about Sunnydale winning the gold medal for ignoring danger might explain a lot.

I have to say I find the suggestion that capitalism is a) newish and therefore something we can do with out, and b) basically all oppression ever, very confusing.

Can't or won't?

I am not sure many people understand what Communism is. I think there are many ideas and most people think that everyone else means what they do by the label.

'Attempt to commit disorderly conduct' sounds rather a failure.

I am puzzled by the shock. It is consistent with who he is now.

Your friends have interesting life situations in that case!

I am curious as to how this works. I cannot quite imagine Margaret Thatcher watching it, but I could be wrong.

Tactical is doing a lot of work here.

I doubt they would have the same reaction over a person.

Indeed on all points. I like to think that isn't what they mean but I fear I am optimistic.

And debt peonage is, as I understand it, the traditional way to free slaves in name only while still retaining them.

The UK has a memorial that was basically put together illegally by a group of campaigners and a guerilla protest stunt group.

It could. I can see advantages either way. The visuals of the votes have their uses but aren't that important. Simplicity is also helpful.

Saying that, can you imagine the reaction to an MP losing their phone...

Let's redesign how the whole system works (attendance, the debates and voting model used (the MPs who skip the debates to work and are called in for the vote is bad look however sensible in theory), etc.) and massively publicise the whole thing while we're at it.

Agree.

It is also a really unsafe building (although I suspect many secret Guy Fawkes fans might think this a plus).

I do worry it will be a hard sell to many of the cynical public for a new building that can fit everyone given that it will be near empty a lot of the time.

This makes a lot of sense. I do think that the argument that even those 437 are often nearly empty does need factoring in as we should ask what parliament and our MPs are actually for. However, I suspect a new building and a new working arrangement would resolve these issues.
