@amazon-uk.bsky.social Hey Amazon, exactly WTF are you supposed to do with 13-17 year olds living in the same house as you in Amazon Family? Can't add them as they meet neither child nor adult age bands. Blurb says 'same benefits as Prime'. Untrue. Will just have to buy much less stuff.

Just watched the @kneecapceol.bsky.social set at Glastonbury on the BBC iPlayer. As a man over 60 (but with an O level in Irish), hardly in their target demographic, but it was fucking brilliant. Also illustrated how ineffective the hypocritical condemnations of politicians are.

I agree, it is both morally wrong and would be applied wrongly too often with no recourse.
I am against the death penalty because there is no sense in deliberately killing a human being just to show how wrong it is to deliberately kill a human being
It is absolutely wrong, even if it is failsafe.
The death penalty is just a euphemism for another form of murder.

There is simply no logic of reason to continuing to tolerate this millstone around the neck of the economy.
Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit.
It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship.

@arcadefire.com Hi guys, just tried to buy tickets for London, May 14th. Queued up, general sale opened, no tickets left at any price, stalls, standing, boxes, nothing but tons of tickets on the rip off resale sites, all with huge markups. So the average person gets fucked again. Thanks a lot.

Much of Trump's bullshit is for corrupt self-serving reasons, but he also has a grudge against the world. He argues that the US has spent money helping out the rest of the world over decades. I would argue the US has only ver done so in its own interest, whether to save itself from threats 1/2

Free speech news. I thought cancelling speakers because you didn't like what they would say was now verboten?
NYU canceled a talk by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she intended to mention the high number of deaths of aid workers in Gaza, and Trump/Musk’s destruction of USAID. “Antisemitic” and “anti-governmental” to say this ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215...
Une conférence de la Dre Joanne Liu annulée par NYU
L'université de New York allègue que son contenu peut être perçu comme antisémite, mais Joanne Liu croit que NYU craint en fait de déplaire à Donald Trump.

Trump has achieved something no previous POTUS has done, by comparison with himself he has managed to rehabilitate the reputation of Richard Nixon who now looks a bit naughty rather than a corrupt criminal. Come back, Tricky Dicky, all is forgiven.

The Goldwater Rule was self-serving for the AMA in the 60s. Doubtful that it was valid even then, but certainly nowadays, there is so much more exposure of the thoughts, words, behaviour and disposition of politicians that it is often perfectly possible to reach at least a presumptive diagnosis.

Looks like Trump got a game of Risk for Christmas and has confused playing the game on the board and in real life. Good job he didn't get Battleships.

I really have no respect for people who post scientific stuff, you comment, they respond showing they don't really understand what they were on about, and when you call them on it, they don't have any intelligent comments or insight but they block you. They are not scientists. Not naming just yet.

The USA desperately needs a psychiatric assessment to see if it has capacity to stay as the world's leading superpower. It clearly lacks the judgement to make decisions for the world, let alone itself. Maybe Canada, kinda like America but more polite and quieter, takes over until America recovers?.

Threads is great if you want to read endless complaints about experiences people have had with their doctors, generally without any actual information on why the doctor is at fault, and lots of pointless debates about how much to tip, usually by Americans, with responses mostly from non-Americans

@martinmckee.bsky.social I am currently in Brussels and visited the EU Parliament today, including the Parliamentarium exhibit. Galling to be reminded of narrow-minded nationalism again. Starmer needs to grow a pair and make a positive movement towards rejoining.

@martinmckee.bsky.social The GMC remit is much too broad. This doctor was dealt with by the law of the land. Her offences pose no safety risk to patients and the GMC should not be involved further. The disrepute charge is outdated and no longer relevant, if indeed it ever was.
So the General Medical Council, whose reputation is in tatters over the Physician Associate debacle, thinks that doctors protesting peacefully about climate change “bring the medical profession into disrepute”. Really?

People of America. Donald Trump is 78 years old and has about a 12-15% chance of dying of natural causes in the next 4.5 years (until his end of term). He doesn't exactly look like the picture of good health. If Trump is elected and dies in office, JD Vance will be POTUS. Do you really want that?

@simonpegg.bsky.social My personal favourite event is the high jump. How those athletes, male and female alike, jump 2 metres or more is incredible. Pole vault comes second for similar reasons.

Dunno if the Dems do sarcastic political advertising, but they should do one with a bunch of women with cats, no kids in shot, saying they understand how Americans are feline right now, and Kamal is the purrfect candidate for them. Need not even make any pussy gags.
