According to news reports today a poor man who lost his wife and little daughter in the Air India plane crash is to be deported from the U.K. I am so ashamed of this country at times. What have we become? Where is the empathy and compassion. Just awful and shameful. LET HIM STAY!
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
Why is BlueSky undercounting likes etc? If you click thru the likes are accurate.
Bang on!
I reckon they’ll be betting on a large fall at 8.45 in the morning.
Already we see stats how x% of the world’s wealth is on the hands of a tiny % of the people. Imagine when that tiny % is all that are alive. Thats why the RW don’t want social healthcare, social security, decent communal spaces or sufficient affordable housing etc. They simply won’t be needed
If like me you are uneasy about AI I think you have just cause. It will, like pretty much much every other human advance, likely be turned to a nefarious purpose and by the same people who are bankrolling it and stand to benefit most from it. Humankind does not need AI. Period.
It might interest those who have a religious tendency that this is the antithesis of the ‘thy kingdom’ in the Lords Prayer which we are told to pray for to ‘come’. This is why Armageddon will happen and likely quite soon-to destroy those who would usher this in, and establish God’s kingdom instead.
The ushers are the billionaire class. It’s why this antipathy to vaccines, medical research, decent education etc etc. None of these things will be needed soon. Less jobs = less people needed. Just billionaires and their slaves will inhabit Satan’s new kingdom. And they think that’s a great idea!
Strikes me there is a lot more at stake re the Epstein files than a few billionaires facing prison. We are on the cusp of a major change as a species. The Satanic version of the future has only billionaire bosses and a small no of workers in jobs which AI/robots cannot do. That’s what’s at stake!
As long as THEY can access healthcare that’s all that matters. Same goes for social security, disability support etc etc etc. Unless you are a multi millionaire or higher, please think about whom you vote for. Turkeys, given the opportunity, would not vote for Christmas!
With the rise of AI, it seems that the hatred by the far right of any form of social health care is entirely logical and intentional. Fewer jobs = fewer workers required, and the likes of Trump, Musk and in the U.K. Farage, Tice etc don’t want to burdened with caring for people they no longer need.
Appropriate. He thinks he’s chocolate.
Trumps bull**** about the Strait of Hormuz opening is going to cost lives at this rate, to say nothing of a major environmental disaster if a laden tanker goes down. Of course he doesn’t care about either of those things, but do the American public? Or Congress? Or anyone?
People actually getting killed, with lives and homes destroyed just to enable these ‘hidden’ grifts. Hardship and despair for the millions whilst the alicadoos cream billions. Definition of ‘the love of money’.
Another conspiracy theorist loon standing for Reform. It's rapidly turning into the political equivalent of the Flat Earth Society.

It will be nice to see fuel prices fall as the oil price falls, and naturally at the same rate as they rose recently!
Please repost if you agree that the BBC has been undermining democracy and enabling foreign interference in our politics by promoting and protecting Farage.
Can’t help feeling that this push for AI and robotics and so forth is linked to the anti vaccine stuff and attacks on healthcare of which the far right are so fond. Afterall, if there are to be a lot less jobs you’ll need a lot less people.
What happened to that interview that was thought to have triggered Melania’s extraordinary statement about Epstein? All of a sudden .. nothing happened!
Those shots from Artemis of the Earth in all its glory make it all the more incredible that 5 or 6 evil men can wreak such havoc across its vast beauty. There are 8 billion plus of us on the planet. Why do we allow this?
Ecologists what are your favorite papers about scale and choosing an appropriate scale in ecological studies and spatial resolution. 🌎🗺️
Ah .. those must be the ‘clear set of guidelines’ that Vance said Trump had given the crack(pot) US negotiation team!
Looks like Vance hasn’t had the most successful of weeks!
Presumably part of the ‘very clear guidelines’ Vance said ‘the president’ had given the negotiation team.
I suspect the 89k fewer employees is part of the plan- along with AI and the vaccine nonsense and all of the other assaults on anyone other than billionaires.
I’m not American, but I’m embarrassed for you and very unsure of where the US is heading. And how you ended up with a man-child like Hegseth at Defence beggars belief also. I continue to hope that the citizens of the USA will act to sort out their embarrassing mistakes before the whole world burns.
Observing stuff from the Uk, it seems Congress can’t address its own envelopes these days! Such a sad state of affairs.
Watching the last handful of MAGA grifters try to sanewash this administration and hold the money train together is really something.
Everyone else realizes the ship is sinking.
