If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.
It’s not. He wasn’t.
And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Something I learned, through direct observation, while working in heavy industry, is that capitalists are perfectly willing to exploit you to death, then pay corrupt professionals to cover it up.

Republicans want to go back to a time in America when black people were slaves, Indians were openly slaughtered, and children of poor worked long hours in factories

Another day to say that the anti-migrant hate agenda is just dust in the wind because history is clear that immigration is a major pillar of advancing civilisations.

Now that Blair has admitted meeting Epstein in 10 Downing St, when he was PM, there must be: 1) correspondence on the arrangements for the meeting; 2) minutes of the meeting and 3) presumably some sort of security/background check. We should ask that this be placed in the public domain immediately.

One of the first things I can remember learning, as a very small child, is how utterly interesting some things are.
Lately, mostly what I’ve learned is how utterly evil a lot of people are, yet they still expect to be respected.
Being very small was better.

Amusing half hour, this evening, with the chaps from Amazon’s Kiro AI team in the US, via Zoom.
I feel I was able to demonstrate the egregious flaws in their software.
Let’s see what they come up with.
