Nobody living outside of the UK should be able to donate to UK political parties/politicians.

£300k is a ridiculously high amout from any one donor, the limit p/a should be significantly lower

Crypto donations should clearly be banned (feels like no law because new tech and no ML worries before)

My son and I watched Stop Making Sense a few years ago. He asked if I had any of their albums. This gave me the opportunity to recreate a classic Onion article.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

Wie elektrisch kan rijden, 'tankt' veel goedkoper. Financier dus de verbouwing en aanschaf voor de mensen die dat geld niet op zak hebben. Kost ook nog eens minder, want door de lagere rekening kan het bedrag deels worden terugbetaald. Zo help je gezinnen, fossiele onafhankelijkheid én het klimaat.

Hannah Arendt did not mince words, did she?

'Totalitarianism replaces all first-rate talents with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.'

From "The Origins of Totalitarianism" (1951)

Also from her:
„The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and clearest signs that a culture is currently falling into barbarism.“
A Strong Woman.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)

Far from the only reason not to use Spotify, but definitely a reason not to use Spotify.

I recommend Qobuz and Pocket Casts myself.

I remember when the FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.
