It's easier to conform than to live. Friday, May 20, 2011. Where are the women. Old news but irritating. Scottish Wind farms paid to stop producing energy. An interesting piece by Priya Shetty. On how misogynist practices prevail. Musings of a teen Green. Says Clegg is shining right now. He has a point. Notes from the Fink Club False Economy. Is wondering whether he's allowed to call himself working class. Saturday, May 21, 2011 4:25:00 pm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to the Daily (Maybe).

The Daily (Maybe): Guest Post: How close were the Scottish Greens to more MSPs?
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/05/guest-post-how-close-were-scottish.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Sunday, May 08, 2011. Guest Post: How close were the Scottish Greens to more MSPs? Jeff from Better Nation. Kindly consented to write a guest post on how close the Greens were in Scotland to getting more MSPs. I think the facts, as presented here, are useful if a little depressing. My shared home blog Better Nation. CENTRAL (0 Green MSPs). The SNP took the 7th regional spot here, winning its third list MSP. GLASGOW (1 Green MSP). HIGHLANDS and ISLANDS (0 Green MSPs).

The Daily (Maybe): Today's Misc
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/05/todays-misc.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Sometimes it takes 36 years to clear your name. See George Davis. I thought Cath Elliott. S piece on the rape debate was one of the more thoughtful pieces. For all the fury Clarke-gate created we seemed to miss things like the closure of domestic violence courts. On whether feisty women in film are making the world a better place is interesting. Hangbitch writes on sexual abstinence. It seems Boris Johnson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ich kann nicht mehr Geige spielen. Mir ist’s als hätt ich’s nie gekonnt. Der rechte Arm zu schwer, um den Bogen zu heben, ihn gar gerade tanzen zu lassen. Die linke Hand zu träge, um behände zu gleiten, die Finger zu verklebt, um sauber zu springen. Ich glaube, das war’s. 6 years, 7 months ago. Es war einmal…. Wer fährt mich, wer nimmt mich mit? Wer kann es sein, vor dem ich tanze und mich gebe, wie vor den potenziellen Unbekannten aus dem Nachbarhaus? Wer wird das Spiegelbild sein, in das ich singe?

The Daily (Maybe): Review: The Story of Stuff
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-story-of-stuff.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Sunday, January 02, 2011. Review: The Story of Stuff. I was pleased to see that an excellent little film about capitalist production has been turned into an illustrated book. The Story of Stuff. The people behind the project have a number of really interesting instructional videos at their website. Like this one on the connection between profits, environmental degradation and the shape of the electronics industry. It would also be easy to think that just because the v...

The Daily (Maybe): Those Scottish Elections: the essay
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/05/those-scottish-elections-essay.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Those Scottish Elections: the essay. We could go into the SNP's deficiencies at length - but frankly that would be both boring and churlish in the face of their historic victory gaining a majority of seats under a system that was specifically designed to stop them doing just that. How did they do it? I was stunned by Labour's refusal to even talk about tackling the cuts in any meaningful way. There wasn't even any hot and meaningless rheto...

The Daily (Maybe): Wednesday's Selection
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/06/wednesdays-selection.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Wednesday, June 01, 2011. I dearly wish computers were less helpful. Right now my spellcheck is in French and I have absolutely no idea how to change it. How does it know I'm in France and why does it think I've suddenly become a native speaker. Anyway, it's useless to me now as very little of what I type is in the proper French, so my computer thinks it's all wrong. When the Westborough Baptist church are being picketted. By the KKK the mind starts to boggle. The com...

The Daily (Maybe): Six Simple Lessons From the AV referendum
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/05/six-simple-lessons-from-av-referendum.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Sunday, May 08, 2011. Six Simple Lessons From the AV referendum. Now the dust is settling I thought I'd quickly summarise the lessons from the AV campaign for the next referendum (! As always in politics there are things we can influence and things we cannot, but we have to take it all into account. Ask the right question:. The campaign, which was largely run by the Lib Dems, looked, felt, smelt and tasted Lib Dem even down to dodgy statistics and hectoring insistence...

The Daily (Maybe): Some idle thoughts on water
http://jimjay.blogspot.com/2011/05/some-idle-thoughts-on-water.html
It's easier to conform than to live. Saturday, May 28, 2011. Some idle thoughts on water. This may make no sense what-so-ever but I've been thinking about water. More specifically I've been thinking about our attitude to the ancientness of water. Let me put it like this. When we see a moutain in general we go something like 'Ohhhh' and then often we'll have some thoughts about how impressive it is. Of humans, but by all the generations. Of humans and loads of things that went before us too. But our attit...
