"Trains will be given a union flag inspired paint job as part of the govts nationalisation plan"

Meanwhile the trains themselves are still owned by private rolling stock leasing companies which extract huge amounts of £ from the industry (& shovel it into offshore tax havens)

Attempting to build a ZioNazi (Fourth Reich) empire with Greater Israel has its headquarters while everyone else gets a fascist police state and enslaved. All the data keeps getting sent there.
Well Bolsonaro was part of their ZioNazi criminal enterprise. The Israeli spytech tool Bolsonaro used to illegally spy on his opposition even stored the data in Israel.

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.
I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.

They are a threat to every organisation.

A Honduran man with end-stage renal failure, Williams Javier Toro Enamorado, was allegedly told by ICE officers that he would not receive necessary dialysis treatment without signing a voluntary deportation order.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

It's fine to think Congresswoman Crockett isn't the strongest Democratic candidate to win the Texas Senate race, and I agree. But when the focal points of your criticism are her eyelashes and nails and her general appearance, it feels like you may need to chat with a therapist.

Trump’s misogyny on full display again🤬🤬🤬
He belittles women reporters because he can’t handle women who won’t bow to him. He hides behind insults because he has no answers, no spine, and no respect for the truth. This is who he is on camera, in public, every damn time.

“California Dreamin’” turns 60 today.
