Just reminding you from Nottingham that Robin Hood was madey uppey but the Luddites were real 🔨💥
And it wasn’t the Sheriff of Nottingham who tried to stop them. They sent army units (failure), then hired spy cops and made smashing a frame punishable by death. Lord Byron made his maiden speech in Parliament in opposition to the death penalty for Luddites. You can still see the hole where they installed the gallows to hang Luddites here.

"History roils. Its waves are cumulative, one rolling into another, amplifying their thunder. Or they become attenuated via energies pushing in orthogonal or opposite directions. Or they swirl into directionless eddies, with the ocean’s surface appearance as often as not obscuring grander currents just below." https://thebaffler.com/salvos/time-bandits-perlstein
Listening to Trevor Bedford has thus far always been the right move, and I don’t see that changing. (I don’t expect much/any help from e.g. mask orders in a big new wave, and the datasets no longer very useful, so we’re pretty much going to be going by wastewater and/or vibes until hospitalizations increase.)
