@confusedMiddleAgedDad@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social I've wondered how many old 'swords in walking sticks' were bought for path-clearance rather than defence.

@lankohr@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social It's just maths. As the radius of your circle of knowledge increases, the border with everything you don't know increases 2π times more. You have only become more ignorant *relatively*. :-)

@inthehands@hachyderm.io That sounds like when British Conservatives said "inflation is reducing". It just means things are getting worse slower than they were.

@andybalaam@mastodon.social #OhNoHeDidnt Jack fought the AI Giant by chopping down the beanstalk and taking the ill-gotten(?) gold, thus destroying the means of production to prevent one capitalist with excessive means from potentially devaluing the gold market and creating a future shortage, from which he, his mother and a useless cow might benefit. What a #pantomime !

@summerbeth@mastodon.me.uk I watched a woodwork video about rubber tree wood yesterday. It is a useful hardwood that has become more common because a process was developed to control mould and rot when commercial rubber trees become unproductive and are felled. A waste product has been made useful but by using a lot of energy :-(.

@ben@werd.social I think 'woke whacking' was a policy, though none of their supporters seem able to define what they think "woke" means.

@ben@werd.social They are lying. They want to make everything much worse.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us They may be successful in the way that Margaret Thatcher was when she pushed Labour to the right, under Tony Blair. What a pity the LibDems didn't find a role for Zack Polanski, pushing them a little Left. That's where a progressive party needs to be to stay elected. The media of the Far Right clearly understand that.

@tusk81 That&#39;s what you&#39;d expect fascists to say. The Pope should encourage Catholics to support regime change... in the US.
