Labour descending into the gutter - a real shame.

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

More evidence that biking is really good for you: After reviewing 23 studies, researchers concluded that there a "positive association between cycling and cognition" in adults 45+. doi.org/10.1016/j.jc...

I repeat, and will keep repeating, the question: why is anyone listening to this lobbyist for tech billionaires and dodgy oil regimes? He's been that far longer than PM www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

The brief summary of the “coppers storming Nicola Sturgeon’s house” stuff is that the police were told the SNP had spent donations they were given for a second referendum on day-to-day party maintenance. I’m not even sure that is a crime. Now, look at what these clowns have done.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Suriname’s government has pledged to permanently protect 90% of its tropical forests, a move conservationists say is among the most ambitious commitments to climate and biodiversity ever made by an Amazonian nation.

Up, up and away ….

In 2014 I met Australian traffic researcher Ian Johnston at a conference in Edmonton. I think often about something he said, and this week shared his words with a colleague: "If your plan is not for zero deaths, then your plan is for some deaths to happen"

As advocates, we must be clear in our terminology. E-bikes and E-motos are not the same thing. It’s easy to misidentify symptoms as the root problem. Stay focused everyone Safe streets are possible

If this was any other party it would be parroted so much that it would haunt them and come to define them. Now then what will the approach of our broadcast media be to this? Will we be talking about it this time next week? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

ID CARDS - the issue isn't whether they are good or bad specifically. It's whether we can trust our government to deliver a system that has so much built-in capacity for failure and data breaches. Remember, the government spent £37 Billion (a number that I cannot even visualise) on Test & Trace.

They aren't bringing ID cards in to make people's lives easier, they are specifically bringing them in to make certain people's lives harder.

4. We pay again and again for a failure to raise taxes. It’s a false economy, for which we suffer in multiple ways. Fair Taxation Saves Us Money.

Up to 50% of refugees in the UK are to some extent digitally excluded. It means they can't integrate or get on with life.

"[this is] Violence against the truth" — Barack Obama

“The government has set itself a target that half of all journeys in England's towns and cities will be walked, wheeled or cycled by 2030. Better get a shift on then, because taking that action rather than building more roads is what will make us all safer." road.cc/content/news...

House of Guinness review – James Norton’s pheromones positively sizzle off the screen

Similarly, when in opposition Labour joined the Tories in referring to asylum seekers as illegal migrants and constantly criticised the Rwanda scheme as expensive, impractical and inefficient - but no mention of the immorality, the inhumanity, the cruelty of such a scheme. No ethical leadership.

£2.5m a year BT CEO blames UK govt for high rents, rates, labour costs, energy bills. Silence on £bns subsidies BT made £1.334bn pre-tax profit last yr; £922m (£822m in 2024) dividends & share buybacks; customer bills hiked by inflation+3.9%. Resents paying tax, workers. archive.ph/D2TJ8

Motonormativity in the media. The normally righteous @404media.co here cheer a system to help people avoid fines for their illegal parking - because, of course, law-breaking doesn't count if it involves a car www.404media.co/find-my-park...

In other news R4 #PM is floating the idea that Streeting may launch a leadership challenge 'from the right' of Starmer. To be clear - this is a geezer who very nearly lost his seat, with despicable views in a variety of areas + a whole load of donations from the private sector

Around 40% of people say they’ve received AI-generated workslop in the last month, according to a recent survey. Workers deal with the aftermath, correcting or outright redoing work, and it's costing companies big.

Blood sugar to bitter dates, the hidden cost of what we eat – and who pays for it Should our weekly grocery shop fund the oppression, starvation, and killing of a people? @sussexbylines.co.uk

The system is set up to rip us off and to make us poorer. We need radical change urgently.

I've been a VR lover since the Oculus Rift development builds and genuinely love my Meta Quest 3 but I can't continue supporting this. I won't be buying any new games thru the Meta store and will look to get a different headset when I can. Fuck Zuck.

#SaveOurNHS #NoToPFI The Ridley Plan is succeeding: "First, we should destroy the statutory monopolies" ✅ "second we should break them up into smaller units" ✅ "and third, we should apply a whole series of different techniques to try and edge them back into the private sector" ✅

Reform UK are not in power, Keir Starmer's changed Labour Party is. Can people stop being distracted by Farage, and expose what Labour are actually doing to the country? A stealth takeover of the UK by carving it up into deregulated free zones, tax havens for corporation with 25 year licenses. 1/2

Daughter just referred to a mop as a "Damplifier"

My first thought on the Trump / Tylenol thing is that this man is utterly corrupt and is engaged in a big short on the company that produces it. He's no president, he's a mob boss.

KONSYSE: The evolution of human brain came at a cost. A Stanford study shows that genetic changes enabling higher cognition also raised vulnerability to autism, reframing the condition as part of the evolutionary journey of the human species.

KONSYSE: What really drives relocation among high earners? Millionaires stay rooted despite higher taxes. A study finds embeddedness and quality of life outweigh financial considerations in relocation decisions.
