Some (seemingly) good news for EU nationals living in Britain and British migrants living abroad: The draft agreement grants the same residency rights as you currently have.

Cabinet has apparently (presumably, majority) agreed to the draft Brexit deal. No word on how many of them didn't.

I'm thinking that the DUP won't be happy with that and might drop their confidence and supply agreement.

I fully expect a few cabinet resignations before the day is out.

PM is expected to announce the draft Brexit agreement this evening.

Current rumours are that the UK will remain a member of the EU customs union indefinitely; a committee will be formed that will periodically determines whether the UK is fit enough to leave the customs union; and Northern Ireland will have a special status partially in the EU, partially out.

Soft, strong, and irreconcilably long.

The fact that there's someone out there right now whose current role is "Chef du Train" is somehow making me giggly.

Oh no Stan Lee.

Ralsei is just my fursona in a wizard hat. Change my mind. https://awoo.space/media/aGAFvGFQP4BZMdgpR0w

Soon…

We were supposed to have been completing our first biospheres six years ago dammit.

Fun way to waste time: Find out what happened this year in history in Star Trek.

Well jingle my bells it's like a fuckin' glockenspiel convention in here.

So far the Democrats have elected the youngest ever person, the first Native American woman and the first Muslim women to the House.

Republicans have elected a dead brothel owner, a white supremacist, and several people currently under criminal investigation.

So, y’know.

My flat is getting increasingly automated. I got confused just now cause I had to manually flick a switch to do something.

This holiday did also get celebrated in British colonies back in the day, but many have stopped since obtaining independence. No point celebrating the survival of a government you no longer side with.

In the US, George Washington specifically forbade the celebration of it in 1775, the last major event was 1776 in Boston, and the tradition died out entirely—devoid of much of its
original intention—in the mid 19th Century.

This day is probably known to many due to the comic/movie V for Vendetta, where the 5th of November Plot is used as a motif to provoke people against a fascist government, but the original plotters actually intended to overthrow democracy and install a Catholic theocracy.

Anyway, we celebrate it with lots of explosions and by burning lots of things, which kind of seems weird for a supposed celebration of those things not happening.

For folks unaware, today is Guy Fawkes Night (or Bonfire Night) in the UK. This is a celebration, held every 5th of November since 1605, of the failure of an attempted terrorist attack that tried to blow up both the government and King James I at the state opening of Parliament.

Watching a Trek episode set in the ‘past’ six years from now, where America has gone to shit because of a lack of jobs and readily available healthcare.

Seems realistic.
