Wow uk elections... if anything I'll be a pro at this voting malarkey by the end of the year. Wonder who the Russians will be voting for?
One of my fav old cinemas in Belfast, took that pic about 20 years ago but it hasn't changed much. Can't believe I'm going to get to see Jesca Hoop play there in December!
How northern hemisphere of me... happy autumn southern folk!
Took this pic in the mid 90s at Hyde Park in London, always though he looked like John Major with a goatie. Happy Easter Christian folk, happy spring everyone else!

The fear-mongering against #mastodon by other commercial entities with regards to #verified #status, #trust, etc., is reliant on end-users being absolutely reliant on trusting those same entities in their verification process.
We need end-users to become less reliant on commercial trust and more savvy on trust-less principles.
End rant. :lock:.
Tearing down the old part of the city, its kinda pretty in its own way right now. Gonna miss it

Gave my daughter an iPhone with no sim. 6 is probably too young but I'm loving the texts. Nice way to brighten up the day
If anyone is searching, I am a #mefite as well. Hello.
Not sure if I'm getting this exactly right, but I think maybe the idea is we may have a deep need to seek (a survival instinct). Once we have something, why act at all? We would just sit on the couch all day. So the drive to seek is stronger than the pleasure of having. Capitalism lays itself on top of this deep need by channeling that seeking and desire into buying and attaining money and objects. But the more you have, the more unsatisfied you are, the more you seek
Capitalism traps us through an incomplete satisfaction that compels us after the new, the better, and the more.

Should have said the twitter feed on my phone, not laptop.
this multi device tracking shit is getting out of hand. Wife discusses going to Disneyland. She does one search on my laptop and now my twitter feed is littered with Disneyland ads. Fuck this shit, I'm deleting chrome.
