    @confusedMiddleAgedDad@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social I&#39;ve wondered how many old &#39;swords in walking sticks&#39; were bought for path-clearance rather than defence.

    @lankohr@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social It&#39;s just maths. As the radius of your circle of knowledge increases, the border with everything you don&#39;t know increases 2π times more. You have only become more ignorant *relatively*. :-)

    @inthehands@hachyderm.io That sounds like when British Conservatives said &quot;inflation is reducing&quot;. It just means things are getting worse slower than they were.

    @andybalaam@mastodon.social #OhNoHeDidnt Jack fought the AI Giant by chopping down the beanstalk and taking the ill-gotten(?) gold, thus destroying the means of production to prevent one capitalist with excessive means from potentially devaluing the gold market and creating a future shortage, from which he, his mother and a useless cow might benefit. What a #pantomime !

    @summerbeth@mastodon.me.uk I watched a woodwork video about rubber tree wood yesterday. It is a useful hardwood that has become more common because a process was developed to control mould and rot when commercial rubber trees become unproductive and are felled. A waste product has been made useful but by using a lot of energy :-(.

    @ben@werd.social I think &#39;woke whacking&#39; was a policy, though none of their supporters seem able to define what they think &quot;woke&quot; means.

    @ben@werd.social They are lying. They want to make everything much worse.

    @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us They may be successful in the way that Margaret Thatcher was when she pushed Labour to the right, under Tony Blair. What a pity the LibDems didn&#39;t find a role for Zack Polanski, pushing them a little Left. That&#39;s where a progressive party needs to be to stay elected. The media of the Far Right clearly understand that.

    @simonbs &#39;Information wants to be free&#39;, even bad information, except what they are modelling is language not truth.

    @mralancooper I think you should include the girls trafficked by Epstein.

    @tusk81 That&amp;#39;s what you&amp;#39;d expect fascists to say. The Pope should encourage Catholics to support regime change... in the US.
