    Just discovered there's a fruit & veg wholesaler in #Coffs with the unfortunate name "Golden Dawn". I can just imagine the email.

    @tregeagle I don't know. I got home overstimulated, and took a couple of hours to settle down. A random social milieu is quite a step up the social ladder for me.

    Oh, #FFS. We had that once already. It was called the Empire. Great name for a theatre, bad idea for global politics. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/7917

    1. Australia says UK could join Pacific trade group after Brexit
      from The Independent
      Australia has said it would be open to the idea of the UK joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade bloc after Brexit. Julie Bishop, the country’s Foreign Affairs Minister, said during a visit to Britain that Australia could also sign a bilateral trade deal with the UK – but only if the Government sticks to its plan to leave the EU customs union. Asked about the prospect of the UK joining the Pacific trade group, Ms Bishop said: “We would of course welcome interest from an economy the size of Britain’s.”

    Otis Redding doing Day Tripper. For real. Not, as I would have expected, a Lenny Henry bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nUGmo71SfE #Beatles !Listening

    Oh wow. Little Richard with the #Beatles. They supported him in Hamburg and the UK in 1962. In this photo Ringo still has his Rory Storm and the Hurricanes quiff combed down into an embryonic mop-top. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/7913

    Ow. #Work. 7½ hours on my feet with bonus periods of heavy lifting. I've often said there's no way I could do a full day, and I find I was very nearly correct.

    It must be evening. I need more "Wine Based Product of Australia", as it's described on the box, accompanied by adjectives like "crisp" and "refreshing", and the promise of a "deliciously persistent dry finish" - presumably experienced on one's knees on a tiled floor.

    Interesting observation by James Risen. To paraphrase, there is no "deep state" that will save us from #Trump, just bureaucrats with mortgages and kids incurring college tuition fees, who for the most part want a quiet life, and don't want to p*** off an extraordinarily easily p***ed off boss. #Mueller may therefore not get very far. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/7506 #TheIntercept #podcast

    1. Bonus Intercepted Podcast: Jim Risen Goes Inside the NSA’s Secret Channel to Russia
      from The Intercept
      A Russian intermediary offered U.S. officials dirt on Trump and info on hacked NSA files. The NSA used its Twitter feed to send Russia coded messages.

    Listening to dreadful store musak at #work, it has become apparent that you can't sound like the #Beatles by only listening to the Beatles. You have to listen to what the Beatles listened to. Otherwise you're just doing parody. Looking at you, Jeff Lynne.

    Want to spy on the rest of your family without crossing the line into browser history snooping? Delete all your #YouTube cookies, and then take note of what is "recommended for you" based on other household-specific metadata. Generalises to any loginless Surveillance as a Service eyeball trap, I suppose.

    1. John Perry Barlow, Internet Pioneer, 1947-2018
      from Electronic Frontier Foundation
      With a broken heart I have to announce that EFF's founder, visionary, and our ongoing inspiration, John Perry Barlow, passed away quietly in his sleep this morning. We will miss Barlow and his wisdom for decades to come, and he will always be an integral part of EFF. It is no exaggeration to say...
