@garbados see I'm thinking they might be a little more on-the-nose than that

like stories about how "oh, those people are illegally vandalising that road!", "our noble police force is fighting back against the communists/anarchists who want to destroy our society!", or "they're offering comfort and support to *insert scapegoat of the day here*"

could go either way

@garbados counterpoint: the revolution will be televised, but they'll be really busy spinning it as a bad thing

This is going to be a "sam gets entirely hacked off at tech day" I'm sure of it

@mavica I love older tech with those brushed metal faceplates

@mavica also us in europe have FFP2, AS/NZ has P2, Korea has "1st Class", and Japan has DS

'cause fuck ISO or something I guess

@mavica yeah, KN95 is the chinese test spec, which is mostly the same but very slightly different pressure drop requirements

still the same effectiveness though

@a_breakin_glass we probably could have got away with a bit less austerity and no brexit

not exactly a shining utopia but preferable to the current mess

ukpol 

for non-UK people, I am not making that last bit up

this picture of Ed Miliband eating a sandwich pretty much killed all his hopes of getting elected

it was a simpler time

ukpol 

seriously, it's only just coming up to when we'd normally have a general election since 2015 and in that time we've had two extra general elections, three prime ministers, brexit, and a wide range of other shit

but no, apparently it would have been chaos with Miliband

also he couldn't eat a bacon sandwich properly

I'm so glad the UK voted for David Cameron in 2015 instead of Ed Miliband with all the chaos that would have caused

what?

*someone whispers in my ear*
