Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Fire-at-will Friday

#hibourverse #spacecraft #space

An erakker of the Bysphere Vipretta conducts a rare live fire test.

A warcraft conducts a live fire demonstration during a close Miranda flyby. This is a political show of force, designed to intimidate the Republic of Miranda.

An ergo drive makes a desperate last stand at the edge of the Milky Way, preparing for a head on pass with her adversary. Two of her companions are already destroyed, their clouds of atoms expanding in the distance. A lone exoplanet bakes with the massive energy being unleashed.

A rogue craft makes a last ditch burn to avoid plunging into Saturn’s rings, putting itself right in the crosshairs of a pursuing spacecraft.

Is 'replace Trident with an organic delivery system' now a Labour policy? Because their published update program is still wedded to US systems

My very wacky theory here is that this is all original sin from the Glorious Revolution: once you’ve shown your rich wankers that they can massively profit by *literally inviting a foreign army to overthrow your government* then all lying with one voice about what you’ve done, then anything goes.

The problem with the British monarchy is not that it's a monarchy, but that in a very real sense the monarchy IS the constitution, & everything else
"constitutional" is a series of fudged partial limitations on that fact.

yep, companies often hold all the power - the worker MUST enter a contract with someone, after all, and its easy for companies to collude to fix costs, or just be the only local option, and thus have the benefit of the social cost of relocation or wage loss from loss of specialization

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.

_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

Like when we consider the key role the fourth estate plays in safeguarding democracy, does this look like revolting bigots yelling "will you commit to killing migrants or are you a queer?" at MPs until they accede to their demands?

But that wouldn't be copy-pasting a twitter post into chatGTP, and then uploading the resulting text, and that would be haaard

Calgie being a little too public about how the media-political system works. The journalist dictating policy to MPs

Frances Ryan @francesryan.bsky.social · 1d

This from X is a striking example of what I argue in today’s column. Reform and the Tories are out here gleefully saying disabled people on Motability should be forced to drive a 3-wheeler, like a scarlet letter. The stigma is not an accident - it’s the design.

A tweet that says: Just got Reform to commit to a serious crackdown on Motability as part of their reforms to PIP.

Lee Anderson says he’d be keen to see anyone with a Motability car forced to drive a ‘blue three wheeler’

every government that has implemented austerity has become so historically unpopular that they’ve now had to start inventing fake new parties just to give people anyone right wing to vote for. so there’s only one solution. to do it even harder

Russian bots been sneaking newspapers into the Tesco my entire life

flyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 2d

Was it Russian bots that made Nigel Farage a household name? Was it Russian bots that spent the last fifteen years furiously telling the public e.g. liberals who refuse to be racist are helping minority group criminals to commit horrendous sex crimes. And so on, and on, and on.

Some guy: Seconded. This is one of the most pressing issues facing the UK. Cut the Russian funding, block the Russian troll farms and you've almost wiped out the toxic rise of far right extremism.
