It’s 2033; climate change is progressing and world leaders are still arguing. 19 year old Dylan and his generation engage in angry, desperate, illegal protest. Their future looks grim… until a mysterious time traveller makes Dylan an intriguing offer. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

Past time for eco: what net zero is, and why we need it

The first step towards saving our precious BBC: remove Robbie Gibb from the board | Ed Davey

The BBC belongs to all of us, and it is under attack as never before. The government must defend it from its enemies, within and without, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

I should never allow myself to be disappointed with social media, should I? Maybe just be grateful Blue Sky is better than ‘the other place.’

If those bones are the little Princes’, social media haters will be out in force. No point explaining we’d still have no proof whatsoever that Richard either did it or ordered it. They’d just see a target to have go at. I’m bemused at those who jumped in on this thread without reading the article! 🙄

I must say, I was thinking of him when I was writing the article, as it was all unfolding then.

And the article also makes it clear that I am not, and never have endorsed changing the museum in Leicester in any way at all. Whether my predictions for the near future pan out or not remains to be seen. If they do, I won’t have to rewrite the article!

OK, he was the last King from the house of York, and the job he did for most of his life was administering Northern England for his brother. The article explains this. And we’ll never know what he thought, or what he did otherwise (esp. with respect to the nephews). It’s a great ‘discuss’ topic.

*Everyone* needs to stop spinning. Especially the BBC who forged a worldwide reputation for reliability when they took their mission statement (inform, educate and entertain) rather more seriously than they do now. &when western democracies elected serious statesmen rather than reality media stars.

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 1d

The spirit of their charter is to report the news as it is and stay out of party politics. Although irritating, this is a reminder that we (all ‘sides’) are drowning in spin in order to tell simple stories in a complex world, and that the whole merry go round needs to stop.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.

Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.

It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

Johnson’s crony directors and client journalists should have been cleaned out of the BBC within the first year. Very disappointing that they weren’t. @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Given modern social and tabloid media ‘moral panics,’ did the powers that be take a too hasty decision to place Richard III in a sumptuous tomb in Leicester Cathedral after a ceremony resembling a state funeral? @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/richa...

The fundamental fault line is that utilities, education, health &care services in England have been handed over to private companies who run them on the basis of maximum cash to the directors and the most basic service possible they can offer to the users.

Anna Turley, "How have we got to this situation? We've seen so much chronic underfunding"

She's 100% right

So as well as already having underfunded public services, we'll continue to have underfunded public services, because we can't afford to fund them because of Brexit

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

It is. That’s why it makes me so cross. Why can’t people see through it?

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 4d

Well, that would require me to throw out one third of myself. Which is the point really. We’re all human beings, and the world is our home. The fact that parts of it are under oppressive governance is our collective problem.

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 5d

It is. But it’s a bug, for sure.

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 5d

May I suggest (yet again) to HM Government that what is wrong with utilities, education, health &care services in England is that they’ve been handed over to private companies who run them on the basis of maximum cash to the directors and the most basic service possible they can offer to the users?
