Fascism and MAGA

All Trump supporters are urged to book tickets with https://www.annefrank.org/en/museum/tickets/ to observe the realities of fascism. (This is the light version, as distinct from suggesting visits to concentration camps.)

Tickets can be hard to get.

This trip to Prinsengraacht 263-267 AMSTERDAM (this is not the entrance, the entrance is on Westermarkt) is hopefully enough to make MAGA people rethink their devotion to Trump. 

Those still convinced maybe should go to Auschwitz or even Treblinka. I hope this is not necessary. Industrial killing facilities should be self-evidently evil.

Lacuna

In Gwent, we are told to only go to the Emergency Department for "life-threatening conditions", and yet the tier below is only for "minor injuries". So where do we go for things that threaten limb but not life? Or for more minor things that need checking out, e.g. recently I had a collapse at the supermarket checkout. (I did feel unsteady at best for a few minutes before the collapse and brief unconsciousness.) This seems to be a lacuna in the guidelines. Of course, when I did go there I was pushed from pillar to post. And the test that was in the end actually revealing, the blood test, wasn't done until after 10-12 hours. The nurse was very surprised it hadn't been done, then did it alarmingly quickly. The CT scan was normal (they did say it wasn't the best CT scanner but would find the big stuff). Still, a full work-up is I guess useful, and under the NHS it only cost me about £20 (a taxi home plus vending machine stuff).

Why is Motorism such a cult?

I keep seeing on the news sites how motorists feel victimised by Low Traffic Networks (aka closing rat-runs, which was done uncontroversially in Lostock Hall, Lancashire, in the late 1990s), 20 mph speed limits (again apparently fine in Lancashire but allegedly evil in Wales) and the London ULEZ (also uncontroversial until it was extended to the outer boroughs, when it became an apparent major conspiracy). Why should motorists be coddled and pedestrians (occasionally literally) crushed? Why shouldn't operators of heavy machinery (which cars are) not be subject to strict restrictions?

How an inept company rules the world

The CPU that runs the world (or at least nearly every mobile phone) is based on the one that was in late 1980 and early 1990s UK school computers (and not really much else except the Apple Newton and the 3DO) until the end of the 1990s (when the actual Acorn machines were going in the skip). It is a little odd that Acorn could be so innovative yet so commercially inept. But then I suppose both them and Sinclair were commercially inept in 1984 over the Sinclair QL and the Acorn Electron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK5AZrg3ZD8
