Back in 2017 I visited Ukraine with the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, going to Kyiv and Kharkiv. I walked down Sumska Street, the cultural heart of Kharkiv with @cartoonkate.bsky.social
In the first week of the war, it got bombed, which inspired me to make this

There is so much messed up about this front page Express story today.
There's no suggestion or evidence ANY alcohol or drugs was consumed. This is literally just people dancing.
And buried in the piece: "The footage is believed to have been filmed just before Labour took power in July last year."

I see posts like this and yes it's awful - and did you work out yet they *want you flying blind* and there are reasons, even if you didn't get informed. And maybe that's something to consider.
I attended a talk by a scientist at a Chinese University and realized that all the background climate data that she used came from the US (CO₂ Keeling Curve, global temperature time series, etc.). Although China funds a lot of research, the destruction of US science will affect science globally.

I know this work in detail. And wish to deal with a couple of points. This WILL be misreported, and WILL contain misunderstandings about genetics.
Some of the work is valid and in my opinion adds interesting information to the evidence base around the life of Hitler.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

“After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.”

It’s genuinely incredible to see politician, media figures and activists utterly humiliating themselves in front of a public who well understand what football hooligans are, how football matches are policed and how the press has always talked about football fans.

And for me so much of this seems to stem back to the political choice of blind pursuit of austerity, presented as an economic policy to rebuild the economy, but doing the exact opposite at huge cost to so many through yet more brutal cuts to & re-organisation of vital services, on whom many depend.

I'm obliged for the nod.
The "Penrose Effect" seems to be a real thing - hypothesised in the 1930s and re-tested in the last decade or so:
Where you reduce your inpatient psychiatric provision, you'll see a correlated rise within 10yrs in prisons of seriously mentally ill prisoners.

Most media pundits are too close to those in power and have become part and parcel of the tired and failed status quo.
Zack Polanski and the Greens are a force for necessary change. Plenty of people from all backgrounds and ages are yearning for meaningful change.

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:
The right defends economic power.
The left resists economic power.
