The *reason* I vote for the Quick Vote slate is that it's the most effective method of not accidentally splitting the anti-Restore Trust vote. I read the *motions* and vote on those by conscience, but my major goal in the board vote is making sure those cranks stay out.
The appeal of Quick Vote is partly a "satisfaction" vote for the current leadership of the board, executive
But a large part of this status quo voting is almost certainly also motivated by (but against) the Restore Trust campaign, so it is a vote to keep Restore Trust out of this advisory council

@foldablehuman.bsky.social so after being *very* confused by the trailer for Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, I wondered if, based on your video on the Snyder Cut and the structural issues in screening super long films, you had any thoughts on the listed 4h7m (!!) runtime.

You’re a “leftist?” Hold on a minute. It says here you used to offer “running lessons” in EverQuest where you’d convince newbies to /follow you and run them directly into a goblin cave to harvest their gear. I don’t seem to remember Marx mentioning that in Das Kapital

I recall around 1990 an elderly supply teacher explaining to my class what war is actually like, macho mythology aside. The sound bullets make. Men crying for their mummys as they die on the battlefield. It's haunted me ever since, and certainly played a role in politicising me.
As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century

i remember how during the pandemic lockdown there was a weird sense that we were going to emerge from it in to a better world. it was odd.
then the 'sensibles' started demanding we 'go back to normal' despite 'normal' sucking for most ppl.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
![[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS]
1
NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]:
Hello there
2
[A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk].
DAD:
Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids?
3
NT EMPLOYEE:
Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail!
4
MUM:
That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids?
5
NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]:
Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot!
6
NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]:
Listen - that's their call
[Calls emanating from the landscape]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
7
NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]:
They are extremely sensitive and fragile...
But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery.
8
KIDS [pointing]:
There they are!
[Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure].
[Little people noises]:
woke-woke
tut-tut
woke-woke
9
[Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]:
Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house.
[Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
10
MUM [pointing]:
What's that one doing there?
NT EMPLOYEE:
Oh, that's so sweet…
11
[We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away].
NT EMPLOYEE:
I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph…
12
[We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]:
Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE?
