Petrostates: "The world will keep burning oil forever!"

New York Times newsletter. You will find few better indicators of a changing world - one in which governments in Europe and the US are largely lost and defensive in response to the change going on elsewhere.

Right then. It's mid-November and if you're thinking about #Christmas shopping, now's the time. All my products are designed here in Manchester and made in the UK. Shop's open gailmyerscough.co.uk

These people are nuts - and we do “business” with them?

£41 million! That’s how much more the Post Office has just agreed to pay Fujitsu to keep using the faulty Horizon IT system. It's a slap in the face to all those wrongfully convicted Post Office staff. Sign the petition & share if you can! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ho...

On November 11, at exactly 11:00 a.m., sunlight shines through a single window on the headstone of Canada’s Unknown Soldier. Their sacrifice teaches a lesson perhaps more important than ever as people choose to ignore the threat of fascism. Image credit: Harry Foster

My mum rang me to tell me that water coming into the house. When we got into the house the next day, I found her body floating in the water; the #flood had come in a torrent in less than 2 minutes from ankle to waist height www.theguardian.com/environment/... #ClimateEmergency #flooding #COP30

Elbit Systems (an Israeli defense company) had a (fake) story planted in the UK media that Palestine Action was funded by Iran. The exact same smear that was also widely used against pro-Palestine activists in the US.

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

This is the same dude who posts AI videos of himself giving fake speeches promoting conspiracy theories.

I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed

Bold!

A is for ‘Arcadia’ a documentary by Paul Wright, an unnerving ramble through Britain’s seasons and customs by way of the BFI Archive.

It can’t make any sense to tax electric car drivers for not burning fossil fuels while allowing people that fly to pay no tax for burning fossil fuels. The answer is simple, extend the charging per mile to the airline industry. Fair, climate effective and tax raising - all at the same time.

Better look into this… (or maybe not)

Good riddance. #AboutTime

As every Remembrance Sunday, a thought for my grandfather, lieutenant Henri Auclair, a Verdun veteran who fought in the trenches throughout all of WWI, died in 1999, aged 103, and taught us about the insanity of war and the necessity to embrace the European ideal.

Reposted every year in response to all those who fetishize remembrance

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Completely shameful!

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests. It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts. It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw. That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄 Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆 1/15 🧵

Lovely fags.

It's been a very quiet week. As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season. So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture. Have a nosy here gailmyerscough.co.uk

I also interviewed Andy McCluskey from OMD on the obvious influence of Isotype on the imagery of pop for the catalogue, which has turned out beautiful.

Wow! Just discovered a high-quality recording of Kraftwerk performing Autobahn live on the Midnight Special in 1975. Watch it here 🚘📺▶️ youtu.be/UYi30uTkYHU?...

Ben Nunn was until a few years ago the Associate Director of Incisive Health, a major driver of NHS privatisation. It was founded by Bill Morgan, Special Adviser to former Tory Health Secretary Andrew Lansley. Odd that the Grauniad doesn't mention this. I wonder why not?
