Power and dominance, them on top and the rest of us at the bottom.

I'm starting to think that maybe Maria Corina Machado was a bad choice for the Nobel Peace Prize
metaphorman.bsky.social
Machado’s party is generously funded by USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (a group that kindly installs new leaders when electorates make the wrong choice)

If you still doubt Machado’s patriotism, you should know she is a big advocate for the sanctions that are starving Venezuelans
Venezuelan woman who begged Trump to bomb her country wins Nobel Peace Prize
María Corina Machado has become the first person since Barack Obama to win the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing.

Heseltine us now to the left of every mainstream party but the Greens through nothing more than staying still.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Kemi Badenoch strikes me as the kind of person willing to say racist shit to advance her career. Robert Jenrick strikes me as someone with true racist convictions.

Looking at the Tory collapse and thinking back to when Liz Truss got elected and everyone immediately imagined that they'd made a huge mistake in not picking Kemi Badenoch.

The whole "Is AI alive" stuff is basically just PR bullshit designed to sell the product.

But the scientist, who works for one of the megacorps that make this stuff made an off hand comment in the conclusion of his paper.

Not seeing much about this.

As of now, no one knows what has become of Greg Stoker, a US veteran who boarded the flotilla. This is deeply disturbing.

Amplify this case through your networks, and insist on a full accounting: Where is Greg? What is his status?

The consensus across the political-media class is fascism is the answer to facsism. What is being disputed is which briefcases will be the ones imposing it: Reform briefcases, Tory briefcases, or Labour briefcases

Given the recent choices over who the mods have banned and who they haven't. This is pretty fucking insulting.
jay.bsky.team
Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

Israel using water cannons more than 100km into international waters against aid bringers as our Labour government declares it will forever stand aside along Israel. The world's first good genocide must simply, sensibly, moderately, statesmanlikely go on. Anglophone liberal democracy demands it.

Didn't DonAir already try this and go out of business?

Flying electric taxis will be travelling between Oxford and Cambridge next year. A six-month pilot project (geddit) aims to prepare the infrastructure and develop a business case as a first step towards “commercially viable regional operations”.

Feel that even if the government were to sensibly do some fiscal stimulus, years of privatisation have rotted stuff so much that the stimulus would leak like a sieve.
