Oooh, it looks good
It would be great to see @labouruk.bsky.social stop demonizing migrants for Labour's continued failures in government to deliver. It's lazy, cheap, and just fuels racism. I assume that is what Blue Labour wants - the racist vote. Racist votes for an increasingly racist party.
Will take it out for a spin.
I setup Network Rail’s alerts for disrupted journeys. It’s wrong. Every day. The train service itself is fairly reliable. The alerts less so. Much less so. I have turned them off.
Always grateful for your covers on The Coming Storm and The Eleven Lights.
I’m 58, until Keir Starmer’s “Island of Strangers” speech and failures over the flags campaign I was a Labour member.
I quit to join the Greens.
Yesterday’s victory by Hannah confirmed that choice for me. Labour is finished. The Greens are the alternative we must all stand behind to beat Reform.
Nobody put a UK ban from social media for U16 in their manifesto. Any ban lacks democratic legitimacy as such. There is no actual debate, just a witch-hunt by the right.
I will show my children how to resist any such ban - we must resist when Parliament passes bad laws.
We also support an invalid message channel, triggered by throwing an InvalidMessageAction that lets you move a failure to deserialize a message to an invalid message channel, separate from the dead letter channel.
Full documentation is available: brightercommand.gitbook.io/paramore-bri...
This has been enabled by our providing backfill for delayed publishing, via our recent scheduler support, and dead letter channels when a transport does not natively support those features. So we can now support a dead-letter queue or requeue with a delay on Kafka.
As such, these attributes give you a way to select a different default for what happens when we exit via an exception (as opposed to falling through, which we treat as success).
In addition, we provide attributes [DeferMessageOnError], [RejectMessageOnError], [DontAckOnError] that can be used to wrap a handler to trigger throwing this exception if an exception bubbles out to them, thus forcing the reject, requeue, or nack behavior.
However, we support several actions that alter this flow. by being thrown as an exception:
- DeferMessageAction: Requeue the message with a delay
- RejectMessageAction: Reject the message, and put a copy on a dead letter channel
- DontAckAction: Nack the message, and put it back
- Transient: which we retry a number of times by using a UsePolicyAttribute or a UseRelienceAttribute
- Non-transient: which we just fail, and ack the message for, relying on an operator to investigate from the logs.
We have released Brighter 10.3.0, which includes a significant upgrade of our error-handling strategies - hence the minor version bump.
Brighter’s default behavior is to ack a message when an error leaves the handler pipeline. The principle here is that errors come in two forms:

It’s clear from the Josh Simmons revelations, following from the Mandelson ones, that Labour must ban Labour Together, disband its membership, and investigate any MPs who belonged. The corruption at Labour Together has deeply damaged the party.

Being forced to sign in multiple times a day to the @theguardian.com app and do a catchpa.
Raised a bug report, and possible the Guardian is under some sort of attack it’s warding against.
But it’s a PITA.
I know a lot of people swore off watching any sequels after the way the last series ended, and thought that following a commoner would be less interesting than the royals - but this new series of The Crown has a lot of twists and turns.
Yeah, in that case, being slightly less shit with the historical setting would have been good. I mean, getting things broadly right, with room for some poetic license, that would be fine. At least it would have distracted from the acting.
Perhaps it is supposed to be a kids show, and I am being unfair to it. But that’s now how it was billed.
So the other half talked me into watching the new Sean Bean Robin Hood. It’s definitely hitting a very high WTF! rate for it’s depiction of “Merry Old England”
Add a few cottage industry businesses on top, that employ a handful of people.
It’s only a small minority actually grow anything bigger than that, imo.
With one dominant player, outsize business at the top. For many folks that business is the hobby.
I would assume the majority of the hobby is a “lifestyle” business that pays enough for someone to do what they love, or alongside another job, either as a freelancer across projects or a business owner.
Nothing like a meeting with your accountant to make you feel like something stuck on the heel of the universe.
My one paying gig right now isn’t enough, folks, so if you’ve got a need for a proven game developer and creative director in tabletop or adjacent fields please let me know. 🙏🏻
Yeah, I can’t believe Blue Labour is going to surrender control of the party without a fight.
