Looks like the @resfoundation.bsky.social are desperately trying to distance themselves from Liz Kendal carrying out what I believe and in my own opinion (legally), to be their own recommendations to give the disabled a good financial kicking in a arbeit macht frei stylee.
Do you remember when you watched the first Purge movie and thought it was a great concept but would never happen? I can see Trump, Musk and the looney Christian right going for it within 4 years.
What’s the betting that Kier Starmer and Liz Kendall will not go through with their sociopathic full-on assault on the disabled and then expect a thank you, the way an abuser would for not punching you in the teeth that day?
Elon musk investigating corrupt government spending is like Fred West conducting a murder investigation.
No google translate. I think you maybe wrong with this one.
I think there has been a war of the imagination over the last several years. I was thinking a lot about what there might be to be optimistic about and I came to the conclusion that this feeling of hopelessness that everybody has is a manufactured product, and that’s what Neo-Liberalism is really about. Neo-Liberalism isn’t just an economic program, it’s a political program designed to produce hopelessness and kill any future alternatives." . - David Graeber
Hopelessness is an important element of Neo-Liberalism.
Nigel Farage translated: “I want to restrict abortion so you make more kids for the predominantly old white capitalist class to exploit!”
I made this! #Bushcraft knife made from one of my pipe making plateaux briar blocks. First attempt always shows you the pitfalls. Will be making more.
Given Elon Musk’s Calvin Klein moment tracking a fly on the wall, how long is it before he’s found jacking it down in San Diego? 😆
Ceasefire in GAZA.
May it last and lead to an established peace.
May the end of reckless violence, ethnic cleansing and the injustuce of chauvanist occupation, spread to Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar and beyond.
War is a sickness born of capital and hegemony.
It should be fought at every step.
Blimey forget the fact checking business, has Facebook decided to give Twitter/X a run for its fash money by letting every RWNJ bigot run riot all of a sudden?
So the UK is going to invest a huge amount of resources on AI hardware and also create a National Data Library using public sector data to feed AI. This is the argument for universal basic income as an AI dividend. The People are the shareholders putting up capital. Issue them a monthly dividend.
"no cause for concern" yet we'll scare the piss out of the boomers midwinter, so they plead Musk to finance a fascist coup in the UK! www.ft.com/content/cbd5...

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
Just learnt to play ‘it must be love’ by Labi Siffri/Madness for possible busking on the guitar. What a strangely satisfying chord sequence!
Having to type in that 4 colour loading code!
Manic Miner on the original rubber keyboard ZX Spectrum. The soundtrack is still burnt into my 53 year old brain.
It has been quite refreshing. #bluesky
This weekend I’m going to be nerding out playing with the native ARM build for MacOS of the RCPS3 PlayStation 3 emulator. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 here we come. Don’t fret ladies, I will be smoking a cigar and listening to jazz too, just complete the ick trifecta. 😎
This is what I’m currently working on. A danish style freehand with an ivorite accent ring and a cutty #pipemaking #pipesmokers
In my view, the main thing it does it take away the main coercive tool of capital, “sell your labour for a pittance or starve”
