Really enjoyed Fear Factory at the Garage last night, we missed the first band, but Hate and Crystal Lake were fun. I think the levels were really off for Crystal Lake, needed more vocals and guitar, but they had a lot of energy.

Who are these two thirds of people that think bringing a coffee into a job interview is unacceptable?
Yougov daily question: British people being weird and 67% saying it's unacceptable to bring a store bought iced coffee into a job interview. Is it relevant that it's an iced coffee?

Conference believes:

i. that trans, non-binary and gender diverse people are entitled to be treated with equal dignity at work and in wider society

ii. the new guidance is discriminatory and unworkable and effectively excludes trans people from swathes of public life including working life

iii. the law must be changed

Walked from Kenmore to the Falls of Acharn and back along the loch. We saw a hare and lots of butterflies and dragonflies.
Signpost: Kenmore one way, Rob Roy Way in two others. A fallen tree on the edge of a rock, it is still growing despite being almost horizontal Falls of Acharn. The water cuts through the rock making round dark pools.

Double-digit growth in the next 10-15 years would require machines to do most of the economy’s work by 2035, people to keep spending on whatever gets automated, buyers and investors who absorb the new output, AI that never destroys value or slows its own deployment, and an R&D loop for which there is no evidence thus far. Each of these assumptions may fail in the real world.

happy bastille day!
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

I'm a big fan of the prole.info books/pamphlets, in particular both the housing monster and abolish restaurants. They're basically an accessible introduction to Capital focused on relatable issues of housing and service work.

It's been 5 years since we last did an anarchist feminist bookfair. Think we put on a pretty good lineup (all remote and recorded for covid). You can still watch most of it on our YouTube channel youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The Sandie Peggie tribunal explicitly states that the supreme court decision does *not* make it illegal for a trans women to be given permission to use female changing rooms. www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...
In reaching its decision the Tribunal considered the effect of the Supreme Court 
decision in the case of For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers [2025] ICR 899. 
It concluded that that decision did not result in it being inherently unlawful for a trans 
female, who is biologically male under the Act, to be given permission to use a female 
changing room at work, but also that having the protected characteristic of gender 
reassignment did not mean that permission to use the changing room was necessarily 
lawful.
