Yup. And you used the marline spike, or marline spike, to work it. Then contraction happened and it became โmarlinspikeโ.
But yes, it is indeed named after Marl Line, and the fish appears to be named after the tool.

โWhat can we do to make trans people feel welcomed in our party?โ
Why do UK parties keep asking this question? Itโs already been answered. They know what they need to do. They just wonโt do it.

Aside: one of the great things about Fedi is how itโs basically safe to point out the obvious similarities between having TERFs in your organisation and having fucking genital crabs.
Couldnโt do that on Elonโs hard right shite site.

Question to you knowledgeable types out there: if, as suggested in the admin "site" settings, I do:
bin/console relocate https://newdomain.whatever
...will it tell followers of people on my node on, e.g. Mastodon, that the accounts have moved and they should refollow there?

Followup to the thing where TERFs had succeeded in getting a debate to remove recognition of non binary people from the UK Lib Dem consitirituon: excellent LGBT+ activists organised to โmove next businessโ when it came up (which is basically, โthis is so shit we arenโt even discussing itโ).
It worked. I also understand that the TERFs got booed when they tried to oppose.
They are busy crying on the legacy social media platforms where they are tolerated.
Good. Cry more, bastards.

r/ukpol is on a โwhat would you do if you got wealthyโ thing, and one of them is โnever use RyanAir againโ.
Theyโd likely be shocked if they knew how many millionaires regularly fly RyanAir.

@ajlanes i have found that i usually book early enough to get a seat at the front of the plane, nice, and i pay for the fast track, breezy, and i have learned how to get immigration fast track when i return via stansted too, which sadly i have to get separately, but all in all it isnt that bad
and i gather ryanair treated their employees better than most through the panini, so ๐คท could be worse
could be better but not everywhere is reachable by train
I always get fasttrack for Stansted departures. for arrivals, I find it less of an issue.
Iโll book 1C if itโs available. Their green chicken curry is not terrible and itโs gluten free, which I need.
Iโve got the routine down now. My record for arriving at Faro is 4 minutes from fan stop to carpark.

The thing that so utterly pains me about the state of humanity is that your Donald Trumps, Boris Johnsons, Marine LePens, Silvio Berlusconis, Andrรฉ Venturas, and all such are painfully obvious bullshit merchants.
And people still buy what theyโre selling.

I think part of the reason is an assumption that all politicians are lying assholes, so you may as well back the one who's appealing to you and promising to upset the current order that you don't feel invested in.
I don't think they have any illusions about the character of these people, they just don't care.

At their spring conference this weekend, the UK #LiberalDemocrats are debating removing recognition of non binary people from their constitution.
If you have a Lib Dem MP, or councillor, you might want to let them know how you feel about this.

Portugal has a tankie communist party (PCP) and a vaguely Trumpian far right party (Chega! - Enough!)
And I feel like it must get terribly confusing while theyโre both in the same queue to give Putin a blowjob.

@Miguel Arroz Yeah. I fixed the typo but edits then have to refederate.
PCP kinda fucked what support they had left going full tankie over Ukraine.

Since I was a kid, I have had occasional outbreaks of eczema in my ear canals. It baffled ENT for years: they had no idea why the โinfectionโ wouldnโt respond to anything they tried (they never tried corticosteroids).
Anyway, itโs doing it again, and it HURTS LIKE FUCK.
(I had to figure out if was eczema myself. No medical professional has ever done anything other than give me stuff to treat an ear infection, which I donโt have, and so never works).

Today on โImmigrants who call themselves ex-pats do the stupidest thingsโ:
โI sent my laptop, which I bought in the UK and brought to Portugal, for repair in the UK, then had them ship it to Portugal. Now customs are holding it, saying import duty is due. How do I challenge this as I already paid tax in the UK?โ
So you want to 1. Admit to tax evasion from the first time you imported it without declaring it, and 2. Throw a strop to try and get away with tax evasion again?
Do let us know how that goes for you, wonโt you?

Jess Phillips, MP, someone many trans people regard as a transphobe, reads out a list of murdered women in the House of Commons every year. This year she included Brianna Ghey, a murdered trans girl.
Her own side has turned on here for being insufficiently hateful. Check out the replies to this tweet, but donโt reply: never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake.
