Eppur si muove! -and yet it moves. Something Galileo probably never said, but what a beautiful retort in defiance of religious oppression it would have been.

This isn't a plan to "tackle long-term sickness" though.

This is a plan to make sick people sicker by forcing them into work, hatched by a generation of morally bereft politicians that treats far right "scrounger" rhetoric as holy writ.

*Sighs and taps the sign again*

The business of business is to make money.
If you privatise a service it becomes a business, and it will focus on making money.

If the service/business is in effect a monopoly where customers have no choice on whether to use the service or not ...

No surprise here.

Good news!
New HIV diagnoses in the UK fell by 4% in 2024.
The UK remains among the top countries in the world for diagnosis (95% of all living with HIV are diagnosed), treatment (99% of diagnosed on treatment) and viral suppression (98% ‘undetectable’ - and so can’t pass the virus on sexually).

Graph from UKHSA showing overall dramatic drop in diagnoses between 2004 and 2024.
There was a rise after 2020 as a result of increases in testing rates, following significant low levels of testing as a result of COVID.

My wife had one, a rock that never failed her. Her new MG has much better range, but they've messed up with the infotainment part a bit (imo). I love my Polestar, 30.000 km a year - worst problem has been a slashed tyre in Barcelona (by road bandits - not the car!). Charging is no problem in Eur.

Russia attacks Ukraine’s energy and railway infrastructure in deadly overnight strikes – Europe live

Zelenskyy accuses Russia of wanting to sow ‘chaos’ as it repeats similar tactics from previous winters that left millions of Ukrainians without access to energy or heating President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of wanting to sow “chaos” in Ukraine by launching strikes on his country’s energy grid and railway infrastructure, in comments published on Thursday, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports. Moscow, whose forces invaded Ukraine in 2022, have in recent weeks escalated aerial attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities and rail systems. Russia’s task is to create chaos and apply psychological pressure on the population through strikes on energy facilities and railways. Continue reading...

Så får vi se hvilken internasjonal rettsordning vi faktisk har. Den vi alle håper på, som følger avtalene og konvensjonene for alle - eller den som enkelte har forsøkt å etablere i skyggen av folkeretten, blant annet ved å utnytte FNs svakheter slik de ble designet ved etableringen.

Håper du fikk/har god tid med din morfar. Jeg fikk vokse opp mens mormor levde. De gjør "fjern" historie veldig nær.

Det meldes nå at Israels finansminister og hans parti, kommer til å stemme nei til forslaget om fredsavtale.

Sist de sa nei, raknet hele avtalen umiddelbart, siden de truet med å trekke seg fra regjeringa, noe som ville ha kastet Netanyahu som statsminister.

Euforien jeg ser i media er ubegrunnet.

Da Anne Frank ble drept hadde din morfar opplevd 2 verdenskriger. Før han ble 40. Mine besteforeldre var født mens Norge var underlagt den svenske kongen (før frigjøringen i 1905).

So now Bibi has agreed to a consequence-free (for him) timeout on terms acceptable to what’s left of Hamas. Will getting the last two dozen hostages back end things, or just open the ground for the completion of the total seizure of Gaza in the short term? We’ll see!

I had not considered the effect of the Doha bombings - but a very interesting take. Could well be!

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 2h

Israel could have done literally anything, much of it with the support of the world, after Oct. 7. They chose genocide. The Biden and Trump admins chose to support them in that endeavor, until Bibi went completely ape-shit and bombed the negotiators in Doha, personally offending DT for some reason.

Even a pause in the killing and displacement would be good and I share the cautious optimism that this could end this phase of the catastrophe. But it is wild that people are treating this as if it’s the negotiated end of the Russo-Japanese War, or even Camp David 1978.

Worrying signs the govt could cave to Big Pharma 💰

Paying more for medicines won’t “boost innovation”, it’ll just boost pharma profits while the NHS struggles to afford care.

UK move to inflate pharma profits threatens NHS — Just Treatment

Statement in response to reports the government plans to raise NHS drug price limits — a move that risks importing America’s drug pricing crisis and putting profits before patients.

Hoping really hard that the Gaza process leads to an end to the current war and warcrimes.

And I'm not particularly bothered if Trump gets credit for it - if it actually leads to an end to the current war and warcrimes.

The existence of even one Catholic convert dismantles the central lie of religion, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.
