As the Tory Party subsides (perhaps not quietly) into (temporary?) obscurity, Andy Burge has been doing the maths on the traditional claim that the Tories are the party of economic competence.

Looking at:
Inflation;
Public Debt;
Unemployment;
Average salaries;
House prices & rents; and
Tax receipts.

He demolishes the argument the Tories were competent; but of course they were competent at one thing, clearly: increasing the wealth of the wealthiest!

Reader Contribution: So you think the Tories are economically competent? Think again ...

From Thatcher to Sunak: how the data compares to the reputation.

Our Friendica is struggling. We get a lot of 502 Bad Gateway (nginx). CPU is at 100% all the time eaten by Friendica. This has happened after the update to the latest Friendica stable. It seems that there are many processes happening in the database.

The post-user table has 64,135,238 rows...I suspect this is an issue. I am not sure if Friendica is reindexing or doing something now after the update...

But needs investigation...sorry for that..

Any tips welcomed!

#Introduction

Hello squirrels,

I am almost as famous as that other Geri, but unlike her, I have a neurodegenerative disease called #Dystonia, but it is only others who see me as disabled. I am also a big-bottomed, anarchist, green type and a connoisseur of fine wine, although I will quaff any old rubbish.

I am a poor speller and swear more than a decent person ought to.

I love people who love other people and hate those who do not.

I mean no harm.

*snogs*

One of the important things about combatting & resisting authoritarianism is the logging & publicising of its actions;

so very happy to include a link here to the ICE-list wiki; a log of incidents & agents for the use of any US follower seeking to get to grips with what is going on with the attack on democracy & the US population.

Also includes logs of ICE vehicles...

Our faith in social media can be (partly) restored!

Not only does adding alt-text to your media help people with disabilities help to enjoy media it also grows the #Fediverse

When people search for media on search engines the chances are higher they end up on something on the Fedi with alt text added

So indirect adding alt text also spreads our network even more!

So.. ADD ALT TEXT♥️ A brief or extended description of the media posted, super simple and you help a lot of people!

*only applies to media when your account is indexed by search
