"Inflation hawks warn us of the wage price spiral, which is when inflation goes up and powerful workers bargain for higher wages, which drives up costs, and thus prices, and thus wages. This is the fairy-tale version of what happened in the 1970s and it's entirely true except for the fact that it was OPEC's embargo driving up oil prices that caused inflation, a fact that makes it entirely false, but oh well."

4 days to go. On Monday Julian will see his lawyers for the first time in 6 months, at the start of his 4-week hearing. He won't have read the case in full because late US submissions won't reach the prison before the hearing starts.

Read my latest update and help us reach £100k

Stella Moris: Today I'm launching a crowdjustice campaign to free Julian.

Our children need their father back. Please help me make that happen.

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
— Edward Snowden

Similarly, the argument that you don't care about software freedom because you don't know coding can be considered as same. It's like arguing that you don't care about the food you eat because you don't know cooking!

Disturbing reports that Google Play is threatening to kick out Mastodon apps. See:

mastodon.social/@Gargron/10476

toot.fedilab.app/@fedilab/1047

App stores have a track record of acting capriciously & are also easy targets for gov't censors (including Trump). This is why alternatives like @fdroidorg are so important for user freedom.

If unfamiliar: F-Droid is a free & open source app you can use to install other Android apps, with focus on free & open source software. Get it here:

Last night, after we finished the movie we were watching with the kids my eye fell on movie on TCM, titled "Once Upon a Time in ". The had already started and the first scene I saw Robert portraying a character that had just came out of jail during the period in US. Even though I felt sleepy I stayed through the end. When the finished I looked it up on Wikipedia. It turns out that this is the last film on .

Highly recommended!
