Yes, he’s doing a great thing in Minnesota, but I wish people would reacquaint themselves with what he said about eg the Al Ahli hospital bombing before saying they’d die for him or whatever

I was taught this in GCSE Economics. They showed us a cartoon of everyone doing different jobs and having to barter their produce. I think they were dressed like cavemen

Can someone actually go on mastodon.social and describe what you think is so hard about clicking “Create account” and typing in a username and password? You’re talking like I’m asking you to compile the Linux kernel

If people won’t use a platform unless it invests $100 million dollars in UX, we’re never getting away from the billionaires
