Reading the latest Charles Stross - The Regicide Report
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Regicide-Report-Charles-Stross-ebook/dp/B0FD6Q8S2K/ref=sr_1_1

He mentions a "giant Aztec-style skull rack at Marble Arch" from a previous book. eg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzompantli

And I was reminded of one of the more bizarre side effects of Covid. The Marble Arch Mound - Tourist "attraction".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Arch_Mound

The Johnson years were just ... weird.

A fav SciFi author's profile name this week is

Infectious Disease Reintroduction Plan (™)

Seems highly appropriate.

# · Mastodon View the site

The measles story is bringing out the Anti-Vax trolls, rage farmers, bot farms, useful idiots. It's exhausting when every Social Media post about it has > 500 comments. Most of them Anti-Vax. Who's paying for all that?

There's a strong correlation between Anti-Vax and the far Right Wing of UK politics.

The Right Wing Contrarians do love things they can be contrary about. It feeds the Grift and The Long Con.

Anyone got that UK 2025 Total Official Covid Cases number?

Those numbers would have been lower if more people had got the vax. And if we were better at indoor air quality mitigation against airborne diseases.

# · Mastodon View the site

In UK 2025,

1) There were 959 cases of a very highly infectious airborne disease with a vax. And one death.

2) There were an unknown number of cases of a highly infectious airborne disease with a vax. Probably over 100k on official figures. And 5,274 deaths.

Can you guess? 1) is Measles. 2) is Covid.

The BBC showing the
"Common Ground" speech
Reminded Dave
of Lou Reed - Common Ground

Does that common ground include me or is it just a sound?
A sound that quakes, there are fears that still reverberate

Grim in the UK.

Unemployment - Up
Economically Inactive - Up
Sickness Absence - Up
Vacancies - Down
Inflation adjusted pay - Down
inflation - Steady
Poverty - Up
Inequality - Up
Sado-Monetarist Interest Rate policy - Steady
Sado-Regressive Tax - Up

WTF? This all feeds the Far-Right Rage-Farming.

Old enough to remember when there were loads of YASNs and all these small pieces waiting to be loosely joined. RSS, Atom, OpenID, YADIS, FOAF, jabber, trackback, pingback, scrobbles, soap, xmlrpc, friendfeed, Internet Address Book, mybloglog, multiple chat platforms, and on and on.

Then rss started to disappear but you could still write code to custom APIs to get your tweets out ot twitter. Then those disappeared as well.
