💥 GOOD. Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition… …after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir… …while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts… Stinks.

Ian McKellen doing a Shakespeare monologue where he's admonishing a mob protesting against immigrants Watch the whole interview But,If you don't , just watch the last 5 mins because that is a very very good monologue

Spoiler, when large tracts of the sea aren't commercially fished, fish start to thrive, and when fish return, seals follow. Turns out offshore wind can be good for nature www.bgr.com/2090922/euro...

Future us will definitely not be thanking present day us.

I can't access the article anymore but it basically says if you took a phase 2 student loan you're unlikely to ever pay it off. I have colleagues paying £600-700 per month and still their outstanding balance is scarcely shifting That's not right

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ICO information commissioners office should be doing this #GDPR If this case goes against Reform, they definitely should. This would also be aggravated as they are showing contempt for the law. Fine should start at 5-10% annual turnover as a minimum but more due to the aggravating factors

So many questions 19yo council leader? Stuffed bear? Do people really think there's anything that can be cut still in councils

Betting market now suggesting Hannah Spencer, Green, more likely to win Gorton & Denton than not, 51% probability; Matthew Goodwin, Reform, 32%; Angeliki Stogia, Labour, 18% www.oddschecker.com/politics/bri...

Just come back from watching #ironlungmovie very interesting When you've been on a diet of marvel movies. This couldn't be more different 1 space, 2 hours, very intense When a film finishes and the whole audience in unison breathes out, but cannot get up and move because we need to process things

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A Reform-led council has spent £600,000 on an eight-space car park, of which six spaces are reserved for senior Reform councillors, who get to park there at no charge. www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo...

Thinking more about this. What we have at the moment, is a tax by hedge funds and private wealth on our day today lives. Public services and natural monopolies, shouldn't' leech money to to these interests.

just finished our first time canvassing with @ealing.greenparty.org.uk and @nataliakubica.bsky.social Good to get out there, hear what people are interested in changing Child 1 cannot wait to join when they turn 16!

Child 1 leading the way on joining @ealing.greenparty.org.uk leafleting in our home town of #Hanwell in Ealing this morning He's a digital leaflet to get things started go.bsky.app/Q4AgB7j

Do you know an example of a 15 minute city? A village. Schools, doctors, shops, leisure, public transport, all in 15 mins walk or bike. Are villages socialist ghetto holes? No Are these shrieking idiots confecting hysteria to make themselves seem like part of a culture war? Yes

Do you know why this is good. Children and those who do not have access to a car have mobility Children can get to school by themselves & parents don't have to just be taxis Those smaller communities become more vibrant, more economic activity, local shopping, cafes, socialising Fun & healthy

#lufc still forgetting to tag

That momentum shift started after we scored, just continues after half time Farke's doing well but we need to improve our ability to control the game and stop those momentum swings Half time After we score When the opposition gets going

Fleur Anderson and Simon Hogg want lorries here every morning instead of school kids on scooters, dogs and ebikes. Easy to demand such horrors be visited on us from miles away in Putney, but wild to me that *anyone* local would get behind such a dystopian vision

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Die USA sind ein Terrorstaat

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

We're working harder to create wealth that is not shared back with our communities But disappears into the pockets of the super rich

The chief of the burglary corporation says stop being so down on burglary and also please buy this stuff we made from the stuff we stole from you that is burning the planet.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is a good summary of what switching is like "Overall, my experiment proved that while you might lose the seamless, ‘it just works’ integration of a Microsoft account, you gain a machine that feels lighter, faster, and more private" www.xda-developers.com/replaced-eve...

For me, The answer is FOSS ( Free and Open-Source Software) E.g. Office docs OnlyOffice or libreoffice or Collabora Logseq or Joplin for notes OBS for video recording Darktable raw photo editing Etc etc Free You own you data Many are as good if not better than the enshitificated crap

Now at 85k First past the post is crap, then the MP that represents your fellow constituents shifting to another party, is, objectively, wrong.

Evidence here (For some reason the government is sneaking this out) This is an existential threat

Every. Critical. Ecosystem. Is. On. A. Pathway. To. Collapse

Greens surge to joint highest polling as Reform support stalls www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/gre...

Right now billionaires are heading to Davos conference with Trump to talk about solutions to problems THEY created. 8 men own 50% of all wealth, yet they point the finger at immigrants and trans people. Billionaires: YOU’RE the problem. Just SHUT UP AND PAY YOUR TAX

The Lower Thames Crossing for Car Owners, and what it will cost, is a useful context in which to think about Labour's taxpayer-funded vandalism of the Queensbury Tunnel.

Nigel Farage is not a patriot his loyalties lie with hedge fund and private wealth The telegraph, sun, mail, express are not patriotic. They're owned by people who don't live or pay tax in Britain. Don't listen to their proclamations of what is good for Britain They represent their own interests

#lufc the goal massively colours how I feel about that game. But even before then it was another one where we don't get out played. Deserved something, got something. A win and a loss is better than two draws that suitably both of those matches could have been. Liking Justin slotting in

Just needs speeding up and benny hill music added

Good article. We had the smallest school street added and even that changed the feel of that last bit of the school run What would improve the rest of it. 1. Zebra crossing. 2. Alternating one way streets with contraflow bike lanes 3. Drivers not parking like assholes.

Look at this chart Without driving into the industry Look at the money, the wealth on the right hand side. Remember when they say "taxing the richest 1% won't work, that top 1% owns the top 50% of wealth"

I presume the Tories and Reform will be shouting about how good this is. Reducing energy costs for hard working families Lots of jobs All out at sea out of sight of any coastal golf courses Reducing dependency on fossil fuels..... Oh that's right they're just grifters shillings for fossil fuel

My only problem with deleting my x account is I have to recover the password for a yahoo mail account so I can recover the password for my x account so I can delete my x account

Do it @leedsunited.com it will be better for you. #lufc

Stop Doom scrolling. Take 5 mins to read this Part depressing,part uplifting "We have embedded a notorious US military surveillance company whose founder is a close ally of President Trump into the heart of our military at a moment in which the US is threatening to invade our NATO ally, Greenland"

For context the UK was at 24-26 which is actually pretty good in comparison here only behind Norway and Sweden

Yes, that does say it all.

Just think about these numbers UK population- 70m Top 0.1% - 70,000 Bottom 50% - 35,000,000 So those 70k use more in 3 days than 35m use in 365 days But politicians say it's not effective or"realistic" to target the rich. That's just a cowardly excuse to protect themselves
