Accusing people of witchcraft was also a great way of avoiding blame. Bread didn't rise properly? Not my fault. Neighbour is a witch.

Labour vows to ‘take back control of our borders’ as Keir Starmer launches security plan
Reply in thread
I mean, if "take back control" means treat people with dignity and respect. Offering them safe routes and a welcoming speedy asylum process then, great.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that's what they mean by "take back control" and that just makes me wonder who on Earth is going to offer me an actual progressive alternative to vote for at the next election.
Can we form a Lemmy Party or something?

Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public school student is going to get free lunch

I think they mean the millionaires will find other ways to hoard it to avoid tax levels they won't stomach. Fair? No. Reality? Probably.

Scottish government wants drug possession to be legal
Seems like a sensible step and possibly free up public services a little for other things? Legalising and taxing feels like a good thing too, but maybe I'm being naieve. Overall though, good for society.
My biggest worry, and it's such a selfish worry, is how it affects me. I've had neighbours (terrace and semi-detached) who smoke weed and it causes everyone's house to stink. It's a shitty experience and something you can't do a lot about. Would that happen more and more with decriminalisation/legalisation? You can use whatever substances you like, but should I be affected by that choice?
I'm not sure I trust people to consider others, drugs or not.

Rightwing lobby group campaigns to undermine UK four-day week
Reply in thread
Don't suppose he said why he believed taxpayers need that?
I've experienced working a 4 day week and I found it such a positive experience both from how much I got done in the 4 days and how much happier I was. I'd love for everyone to have that opportunity, especially public sector workers.

tactile score tracking
I've used coloured glass stones in the past. Use different colours for 1s 10s 100s. It's not perfect, but t tub of these is pretty cheap iirc and great in a sack as a life counter in games like escape the dark castle!

Question about mugs
I won't if it's about weight/centre of gravity. Holding a full mug by the handle is more effort and less comfortable.
Plus my fingers don't get all toasty warm.

A History of Miniature Violence Reviews Dice Men: The Origin Story of Games Workshop

Kick-started the book and glad I did. Hearing about the first 10 years, living out the van, and the luck and passion involved in building the first version of GW is pretty inspirational I think! If you have any interest in the roots of d&d or Warhammer then it's worth checking out!
