    New referendum: should everyone in the UK become billionaires? Reminder: if the vote is yes, anyone who points out this isn't possible will be deported for frustrating the will of the people. On that note, looking forward to everyone in the UK becoming billionaires.

    "Note to climate movement: there is no worth its name without migrant rights at the centre." Same for labour movements (Lexiters, I'm looking at you. Not even hiding it. Staring angrily right at you).

    Major development: a national migrant rights movement emerges in Canada. In a moment of surging white supremacy, this cause must be central to ALL our struggles. Note to climate movement: there is no worth its name without migrant rights at the centre.

    My preparation: a temporary (?) relocation, with the kitties in tow, on or before March 15th. Anyone who can't leave should probably plant themselves outside their MP's office and demand whatever the opposite of malicious neglect means to them.

    1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis

    Excellent, sharp close reading of another thread in this thread; I could add something about the decontextualisation & commodification of Myanmar, though I’m sure others already have.

    Jack’s thread on Vipassana meditation is fascinating.

    Without understanding the past, we can’t prepare for the future. It is our task to explain the next generations what happened during the Holocaust. To make sure Europe will never witness such atrocities again. Let us all take up this duty.

    Two years ago, we started merging CMSs. Today, we start merging companies. It’s not causation, but nor is it 100% correlation. Internal products influence culture as well as respond to it. They can both suggest a vision for a company and make it tangible.
