Well it looks like @vodafonegroup.bsky.social are having a shit time. Outage on Tuesday. Broadband totally unreliable since. No word from the company about why or when they're going to fix it, and can't report it as the online portal is down. Do better. #vodafone #shite #tech

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

Latest England COVID data
📈Note: The number of deaths registered in previous week was affected by our Easter Monday Bank Holiday, so caution needed when comparing across weeks, and with expected deaths. #ONS
🤦Please note also, this airborne disease can still cause hospitalisation and/or #LongCOVID!

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

said 'the Environment Agency data showed the number of incidents was more than double its target'.

the fact that Earth's outer core is liquid is the reason why our planet has a magnetic field. Earth's core is made of a molten mix of nickel and iron, and the convection in it causes a flow of charge. the result is a geodynamo, generating magnetism that keeps us safe from hazardous cosmic particles
I've always been fascinated by Earth's interior and how scientists have described their textures. I decided to make my own slice while at @newsela.bsky.social. #geology, #earth, #platetectonics

More welfare cuts as MPs get a 2.8% pay rise, no taxation of the rich or large corporations and blatant cronyism, but it's quite alright to shaft the section of the population that are living on, or below, the poverty line.

Well done @teamlabouruk.bsky.social for not giving a flying fuck!
What’s happening? Reeves is set to announce even more welfare cuts—hitting millions.

🔻 Disability benefits slashed in real terms
🔻 Universal Credit basic rate cut for ALL
🔻 3 million disabled people will lose out

Yet, Reeves insists this isn’t austerity… What do you think? 🤔

Ministerial pensions & expenses are a drain on the treasury.

So, if MPs need to take money from the poor, MPs pensions, salaries & expenses should also be cut.

Cut by the same percentage for all future, current & former MPs.

When MPs cut public spending, their own rewards should be cut in line.

Labour are not the party of the worker anymore. They are more interested in protecting their wealthy donors than standing up for you.
Labour is consulting till June on their disgraceful cut of £5bn from disability benefits. Send them a message by helping socialist, anti-austerity, and anti-war candidates this May! #Tenner4TUSC

What's thermite? It's a GREAT time to learn!

🧵(4)

Thermite is a combination of a highly stable oxide, such as iron oxide (working metal, gets its hands dirty) and a more reactive metal like aluminium, a weak, pale, pasty metal that overreacts and wants to steal oxygen. (1/4)
