The more I think about this supreme court judgment the more it's looking like a stitch up.

There was no way to get anything through parliament to change the equality act but now the SC has ruled Labour can just throw their hands up and say "nothing to do with us, that's just the law".

One of the details that's interesting about this study of almost 5,000 people and 6 years of data is how recipients of monthly unconditional income smoked half as many cigarettes a day and drank less than those who didn't get the money. They also were more physically active and got sick less.

Long shot but anyone able to make this happen?
Fuck it, I need one person who was gonna fly to the States this weekend to instead go to north Wales and plant 11,500 trees.

Ah yes, instead of sorting climate change and putting the money in place to prevent wildfires through forest management, let's allow rich people to build a firefighting missile system to defend their property while the poor burn.
An ‘Iron Dome’ to stop wildfires: Israeli startup’s ‘FireDome’ is based on missile defense
System shoots capsules of eco-friendly fire retardant to create barrier; detects and extinguishes blazes; set for testing in Israel in May, and the US in 2026

Stick a big fan down there to move it about a bit and you'll have great wireless coverage.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

When I hear people talk about deregulation, what I'm really hearing them say is: "any limitation on harming people is a limitation on profits".

SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH. If all our survival needs are unconditionally met, suddenly we're all more able to find the things that make life meaningful. Don't you see? No one wants to just survive, so if we guarantee survival with Universal Basic Income, we catalyze the mass pursuit of true purpose.

Not sure how many of my followers from eX have made it over here yet, but for any of that this is relevant to: start contacting your representatives.
There is a rumor that an attempt to get Poland to change its position is under way. This would give the pro-ChatControl side a majority and make mass scanning of encrypted private messages the law in Europe.

Very strong point here. Too many people take it personally when they are called out and double down. A little humility goes a long way.
Accept the "L" and apologize as gracefully as you can and move on. Try hard not to do it again.

The more you wriggle in that trap, though, the more you hurt yourself and them.

"Oh; I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." and then when they seem ready -- just talk about something else.
