Take a look at where the Revoke Article 50 petition has got the fewest and most signatures. These are two Englands with differences in experience and outlook that run much deeper than the current divisions over Brexit
Views on major issues have been diverging in rural and urban areas and it’s been happening unnoticed for decades, as @drjennings and Gerry Stoker first wrote back in 2016
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
These areas have had very different experiences of globalisation over recent decades. Towns have lost good jobs and young people have moved away. It’s an aging story as @election_data and @centrefortowns showed here centrefortowns.org/reports/the-ag…
Brexit has become a tug of war to decide which of these “two Englands” will win and which will lose. This is the wrong approach for anyone who wants a future for this country. Neither can be wished away

I've been handed emails showing that Ministers and DfT officials were warned about Northern rail chaos 2 years ago. They show utter contempt for Northern passengers. #PMQs
DfT officials describe key routes as 'not really valued' and discuss giving a "sop" to campaigners.
They admit key Northern routes will be axed as early as 2015...

1) Sometimes You Have To Take A Step Back & Get Out Of the Way Of A Trainwreak As It’s Happening!

The last few days have been wonderful as we watch the Democrat Party implode. The MSM isn’t able to protect them. Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House in name only. The REAL
2) Speaker of the House is AOC. This became apparent this week as the Democrats struggled to put forth an anti-Semitic Resolution on their lovable Somalian, IIhan Omar.

The REAL Speaker of the House decided to answer a few questions earlier on the topic.

3) The FAKE Speaker continues to make excuses.

The campaign finance site owned by Empower Texans did a look back at the 2018 elections on 12/18/18. The question they asked was “Who’s Really Buying Texas?”
#txlege
The site (again, owned by ET) pushes this “Context matters” point, but then provide a fairly skewed context. They mashed all of the dollars spent in campaigns into one massive bucket. Then they point to themselves and say “see, we didn’t give that much”.
#txlege
By rolling everything up together, they obfuscate the reality that a handful of large donor groups DOMINATE the political landscape in certain races. It’s not the everyday Texans that drive our politics.

@robcorb @mikegalsworthy @pchoskins @Peston @SteveBakerHW No if you have concerns about the number of people arriving from the A8 I believe they were referred to. Then UK had the option to control this through EU law for first 7 years of new members joining. Germany did. Austerity caused by illegal bank activity was not predicted so 1/
@robcorb @mikegalsworthy @pchoskins @Peston @SteveBakerHW As at the time the UK under labour was a thriving economy with an ageing population the influx of adult ( no education costs etc ) dynamic hard working people was seen as an extraordinary opportunity for the UK economy. Some highly educated some prepared to do any work at all 2/
@robcorb @mikegalsworthy @pchoskins @Peston @SteveBakerHW The conservative party's ideological commitment to austerity after £bns had been thrown at the banks essentially penalising the least powerful under the auspices of curing the ills caused by conservative voters was the first scam.

So I RT'ed this @CountDankulaTV thread a few days ago and thought it over. (Peter Walker of the Guardian releases an as-expected hitpiece in regards to PJW, Sargon, and Dankula joining UKIP).
Article: archive.is/luNOc
Thread (worth reading in full)
Basically I just want to dissect this and break down what's going on. My first impression of Peter Walker coming off the wrong way when I first saw this thread 2 days ago hasn't gone away.

Something still strikes me as odd with Peter's argument.
To begin:
>let's look at the heart of Peter's defense. "Alt-right is a subjective term, feel free to disagree"
> But GOES ON TO SAY "I don’t paint myself as anything, beyond being a reporter."

^ Two key points central to @CountDankulaTV having the high ground in this argument.

Not a christian, havent read the bible so correct me if im wrong: He talks about the biblical story where Abel kills Cain as an act of vengeance and in doing so he kills off his ideal self because Abel is the proper manifestation of the ideal.
You might think its only revenge on people because you develop hatred towards them but its not just revenge on people but a hatred on BEING itself and the desire to take revenge on the being for the outrage of the tragedy and suffering thats associated with being.
It's so profound and i think it explains the current situation almost perfectly.

What we can notice is these killers are never high status but frustrated, embittered, cowardly "men" who have been castrated from the society.

Recently someone asked me what I liked about Haskell and if I thought it was the best language. I said I liked it, but it wasn't the best. The gist of it was this tweet by @DRMacIver. (thread)
I like Haskell because it lets me build larger systems, more easily, and with less hassle, than any other lang I've used. It feels much more solid in the hand, like a quality hammer, compared to eg Python, which to me feels fragile, and cheap. I'll put more confidence in Haskell.
Haskell solves pretty much all issues that arise for small to medium sized projects and many that arise for large and very large projects. This is unlike Python/Java/C/PHP/Bash/C#/Scala which have issues at all scales. (I will collectively call them Python#++)
