I don't understand why it's necessary to make it difficult for people moving to another country to settle there.

Sir Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage have traded blows over their parties' immigration policies. So what are the key differences?

Qualche anno fa ho pubblicato un libro esattamente su questo.
Si chiamava “Io non sono qui”, per esorcizzare il fatto che in realtà lì, in Black Mirror, c’eravamo praticamente già.
Ora semplicemente quella suggestione, all’epoca paradossale a suo modo, non si potrebbe più usare.

A partial list of the ways Black Mirror’s near-future dystopia is now our current dystopia.
‘Black Mirror’ Showed Us a Future. Some of It Is Here Now.
The long-running tech drama always felt as if it took place in a dystopian near future. How much of that future has come to pass?

You guys really don't need the update on this but it's pretty much the hellscape comedy of errors you might suspect. They emailed today to say they are "looking forward to the talk" and only needed me to take the words "race" "activism" "justice" and "gender" out of the title. Lol. Lmao even.
Was scheduled to give a talk for an office of equal opportunity/affirmative action in a couple weeks but that office no longer exists & the website is taken down. No one contacted me but I think it's fair to assume I'm no longer giving the talk. Gonna go schedule some self-care in that time block.

Here's a picture my wife took of me, Keith Giffen, and @kevinmaguire.bsky.social at DragonCon in 2019, before Covid descended and locked us all away. (Does the angle look familiar?) The last time the three of us were together.
Still can't believe we live in a Giffenless universe. What a loss.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Nice. I use the other two all the time, but I didn't know about Ctrl+Ctrl.
Why is it that Shift-F10 seems to randomly not work, though? In some sessions, it'll re-build and re-run the last thing I ran. In others, it's like the shortcut doesn't exist.
