The last Liz Truss appointee, emblematic of the success of her policy choices generally, has now left the building.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

oh i get it he's called masked rider because he's autistic

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I hope this finds you

incredible quote lol

ordered food here. the server did 7 frame-perfect turnarounds in a row and launched themselves through the door speeding past my table at 700km/h but the plate was perfect. 5 star service, would eat here again

Both Visa and Mastercard are really going to push the idea that "they dont restrict any legal transactions" when you call you need to call out how paypros restrictions arent on the transaction, but on the way they are pressuring platforms to drop/censor content that they have decided is verboten

abolish the Home Office

Why don't we like "AI?" You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways. It doesn't work the way you claim it will. You don't pay for the work you use to generate it. Your intent is labor reduction without a contributory return. You know it's unpopular so you try to hide it. You lie about it.

They can't use buses, they can't take taxis, they can't have jobs, they can't have houses, and in about six months there will be another uproar about how many refugees are in hospital due to preventable illness

fucking infuriating because of course it is completely ridiculous that the gov is paying £100s for asylum seekers to travel 100s of miles to see a doctor. but the simple, cheap fix is letting them see a GP in their local area! not banning them from taking taxis. fucking nonsense establishment.

it’s funny how when people who own big houses are alive they had nothing to do with its value, but when they die their kids shouldn’t have to pay any inheritance tax because they worked VERY hard all their lives for it

Yes I'm sure there's more cost efficient ways to do things but I'm seeing none of them stated here. They're just effectively banning asylum seekers transport to anything including medical appointments. Which is okay if you can walk and it's a short distance but cmon

I see the Indy is also going with asylum seekers being “banned” from doing something they were being forced to do unwillingly in the first place, so presumably this is how the Home Office‘s press release is framing its own admissions of incompetence and waste

Big point of order here, this is taxis for medical appointments. They're not allowed much in the way of money. Like nearly nothing. How are they supposed to get to appointments?

Bloody hell man

There should be book clubs for babies. "I enjoyed the crinkliness of this one but I have to say the little mirror at the end was a bit predictable."

Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone. I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again. It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years. And it costs lives.

There is simply no medical reason to take a person, cold-turkey, off of a medication they've been stable on for almost a decade, with no offer of anything else - and when the lack of that medication causes irreversible lifelong issues up to and including death.

CEO who has billions in ai stocks: pwease use this ai featuwe its good i pwomise :(

so months after the original proscription, has anyone revealed any actually good reasons to describe anything they did as 'terrorism'? i was assured by very smart people that intel to that effect will no doubt be made available, because of course i should just trust the government on this

doing my best to keep things together today but a lil bit of "fuck the soulless cruelty of this world" is slipping through the cracks a bit

This is just gutter racism and it’s a standard that would never be applied to say, the descendants of Italian immigrants who fled the lawlessness of Southern italy post unification and now staff this fascist administration bsky.app/profile/publ...

One of the simplest ways to see that creators aren’t bourgeois is that we don’t, as creators, appropriate other peoples’ labor. We do labor that we can eventually make money from, we don’t make money from exploiting others. It’s the exploitative relation that characterizes the bourgeoisie.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

The war on porn is also a war on LGBTQIA+ people, artists, people of color, free speech, small businesses... whether you consume porn or not, the war on marginalized people should absolutely concern you! your rights are being taken away!!

I actually thought he was reasonable today! And that's because a wealth tax is obvious. Unless you're defending the super rich. It's shameful Labour are refusing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Otherwise-savvy commentators thought that this would be Zack's ball-and-chain. He's joked about it himself on Channel 4, and now we've got the most tedious possible setup and punchline from the despatch box. It's already stale and boring.
