Reposting: Boris Johnson, UK's Answer To Trump, Offers A Masterclass In How To Use The Dead Cat Strategy Combined With A Google Bomb

Boris Johnson -- full name Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson -- was born in New York to English parents, studied at Eton and Oxford, became Mayor of London, and now stands a good chance of becoming the UK's next prime minister. That's not because of any outstanding ability, but largely because he belongs to the country's ruling class and assumes the position is his by right, as do many of his supporters. However, this smooth if completely unearned rise to the top of the UK's political system was threatened recently by an unexpected event.

Techdirt.

Lesson learned… Indigenous on iOS (or my Micropoub endpoint) does not like ampersands in the content field.

I was up an hour past my usual bedtime last night, as my partner was late home from her fortnightly D&D session, and I am **wrecked** today 😵

I’d hoped to write up some loose documentation on the iOS Shortcuts I have setup, but diagnosing all manner of WordPress plugin issues has taken up my night. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Many, many, thanks to Joe for helping me diagnose and fix all my webmention issues today! 🙌

Hopefully, normal service will resume shortly 😅
