The issue is that a woman working full time on a decent salary cannot afford rent on a one bed flat and the cost of childcare to allow her to work

THAT’S what should be being called out

But the RW media don’t want people questioning THAT

Better to vilify those struggling to make ends meet

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Universities are in crisis, and I don’t think it’s helpful to phrase that as “exiting the market”. They’re not mid-range shoe shops, these are educational pillars in society
Chief exec of OfS 'said the OfS believes there are 24 institutions at risk of exiting the market in the next 12 months, seven of which are large providers with more than 3,000 students. There are another 25 or so institutions of various sizes at risk over a two- to three-year period, she added.'

Each of us needs to be asking what more we can do RIGHT NOW because our government is failing us & failing the planet. Can you: drive less or go car free? Replace fossil fuel heating? Eat less or no meat? Take fewer plane trips? Every single person can do SOMETHING #climateemergency

I'm old fashioned but this is why I struggle to listen to music on these platforms.
I want to stare at my dad's CDs and get inspired. I want to move across rows of Classical, Pop, Rock, Italian, Songwriters, Movies soundtracks, Christmas Collections, Opera, etc.
I used to listen to So Much More!
I am still raging at the loss of google play music. Instead, I have to deal with youtube music which defaults to the algorithm after I listen to an album. I do not want to listen to a algorithmic feed, I want to listen to the album on repeat!

The ecological impacts of "AI" are bad but if people only used it intentionally, they'd stay there. But with every provider, every search engine, every website firing up some chatbot or summarizer even when not asked it quickly turns from bad to monstrous.
