A couple of years ago, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social tweeted something like, "work the problem like someone who wants to find a solution, not like someone who wants to have been right," and I've thought about it so much since. It's harder than it should be but also the only way forward.

Just remembered a lovely spoof poem I wrote on the now-doxxed account. Can't find it now. I remain what I have always been -- a stretch of road in the NW of England -- but I'd like you all to remember (a) cancel culture is real and also (b) fuck transphobia.

Have you read Phoenix Andrews's book yet? 'Fandom' is a really powerful explanatory concept at moments like this.

Once we stick the heat exchanger in hyperspace, we are totally good to go. While we're there, let's also give it 4th stomach and a camel style hump in hyperspace, thus allowing efficient digestion and energy storage.

What if dragon puts itself on migration routes? One dragon per 10,000 elk/antelope should do the trick. This is why dragons are solitary, territorial, hate each other and are often found snoozing.

Can we use non standard blood chemistry to cool our dragon? Or perhaps a whole other glandular system with a lightweight fluid with high heat capacity? Or evaporative cooling like a RR Kestrel? Freon? Dragons are magic after all, so benefit from clean sheet designs unlikely to evolve...

And if he did, he'd take one look at your name on the list, yell "This belongs in a museum!" and leave, perhaps pausing to punch a nazi.

Still, at least it lets everyone know that there are still Cryptographers working at Necropolis U, Hadesville TN -- last I heard, that department was under threat.

No. Nice one. This kind of thing is significantly tougher for people who are financially supporting others, and/or struggling to pay the rent, so I wouldn't automatically hate on everyone who does it, but it's def the right thing to do if possible.

I think we should keep the legacy nuclear going as long as possible, but it's not worth flinging new money there when we could spend it on wind, solar and storage.

Massive overcapacity in the battery production sector means dumping. And dumping means cheap grid-scale storage. Nuclear is dead, fossil fuels will be tipped over by any carbon tax.

This is true, but 'JP gets a sock full of sand [a classic home made cosh option] to the head' is actually pretty hard core.

Pushing a small percentage of the gross towards the lowest tier of local government would help too. £10k pa is a lot for a parish council.

I am being a bit smug over this one because (despite being but an undoxxable road in NW England) I know enough about this process to have called bullshit on the claims. OTOH it gives us a Byline Times author to be wary of, so all not lost.

Tens of millions of pounds have funded UK 'Political Science' departments over the last 15 years, and all the while, the most perceptive and accurate commentary has come from a bored office manager in Fife.

The candidate or their agent needs to hand over some of the forms in person. So someone's got to exist. Parties nominating a fictitious candidate would be vulnerable: a 'tissue of lies' candidate would only be possible if an Independent.

Although to be fair, the previous Tory administration saw the writing on the wall and started to just sabotage stuff about 18 months ago.

Whoever signed the form! Proposers and seconders almost certainly aren't liable. The witness to nomination might be, and the party nominator (authorised person who says 'this is our candidate') might possibly be, if they knew the candidate was fictional.

Signing off on a false statement on nomination papers is a specific criminal offence, though. And, the fact that it's easy for amateurs to stand prevents politics from being completely stitched up by incumbents.
