Loved it.
Just like Mackenzie Crook's TV shows, I really appreciate the fact that it is filled with characters you could believe exist in real life and none of the humour is punching downwards.
All too rare these days.
A gem.

Nothing to see or everything to see
Palantir must be removed from the NHS
We all need to lodge an official complaint. It takes no time at all, and I've dropped a link to BBC Complaints in the comments. This is shocking.
Beautiful 😍

All shares much-appreciated.
MP introduces Bill to prevent England water companies from "delaying" payment of fines.
Companies negotiate fines, which are later deferred/waived. It is a licence to abuse.
Execs rewarded for boosting profits through illegal practices, face no fines.
Bill won't become law. Govt/Tories oppose it.
Backed Crowley and if that (and the 4 previous seasons) are anything to go by, this will be an absolute audio treat whenever it is released 🦑🦑🦑
'And she'll never spend her salary in the shops, or pay someone to fix the plumbing, so that the rest of the economy vanishes, the Tech Bros end up with all the cash and the underclass embraces 90% of the population. Good times, eh?'
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Next CEO pay rose from £4.9m to £7.4m, could hit £9.27m this year.
Company changed CEO pay formula because it didn't give directors enough.
Non-exec directors to get higher pay.
Most shop workers toil on/around minimum wage.
Govts preach pay restraint to workers but no curbs on fat-cattery.

It is, but this small exchange has lived rent free in my head for decades 😁
"People’s Party
Private jets
Multi-million pounds houses
£9 million crypto donations
£1million MP incomes from outside activities
And an agenda clearly designed to remove your rights & protections
What will it take for you to realise they’re not in it to help you?"

Palantir’s UK boss has urged the government not to give in to “ideologically motivated campaigners”... who could that be? 👀

🚨More than 100 Labour MPs have written to the Home Secretary opposing the governments proposed immigration reforms - that’s a quarter of the parliamentary Labour Party - this isn’t law yet - we all need to get behind them - there is still time to persuade the government to change course.
Good people, please fill out those Anthropic claims. Settlement is going to be around $3000 per book.
"Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion plus interest into a settlement fund, equating to approximately $3,000 for each work covered by the settlement."

We could wipe out the billionaire class, seize their wealth & redistribute it to create a fairer world AND save the planet by doing so.
Where are the downsides to this?
"Sacrifices have to be made" - that's what we're always being told, right?
A few will have to suffer to save the many.
Bookmark this post when they ask for $200 billion every time, again.
Decades from now, when our children ask us why nobody can go into space any more, we can tell them that the richest people in the world filled low Earth orbit with lethal shrapnel, competing with each other to see who could spend the most money trying to create a computer that gave wrong answers.
Think-tank funded by the super rich wants to freeze the UK state pension, end the triple-lock.
Full state pension is below 50% of the minimum wage.
2m pensioners live in poverty. 110,000 a year die in poverty.
Democide disguised as financial policy.
Loss of empathy leads to inhumanity.
England water companies are ruining our seaside, prison is the only deterrent.

Bloody hell. From secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as ‘think tanks’ (who continue to dominate our discourse despite Liz Truss demonstrating the dangers) to a secretly-funded political party. Should have seen that coming.
Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.
