Apologies anyone using the Green Plenty instance. It just walked off the end of the pier and I couldn't get it back so I had to switch it to a week-old backup.

I've switched joining the instance to approval needed.

DM me if you registered in the last week.

I am not going to invoke his name, but i was thinking as I rode through rain this morning that beyond the risk of Twitter dying a quick and idiotic death, the other major risk for many of us is that - if what he’s doing their actually works - a whole generation of tech company CEOs will have an example they can latch on to for running a tech company like a Victorian workhouse; the small progresses we’ve made on reducing workplace toxicity and unreasonable working practises are on the line.

It's cool how the government have run the country into the dirt and then they get to go on speaking tours or piss about on reality TV whilst people queue up at food banks and die waiting in ambulances and live like Victorian peasants, shivering and hungry. What a great system.

"One thing is now clearer than ever. The recent history of Britain’s trains is much the same as that of the country itself: a hare-brained plunge into privatisation and crony capitalism, followed by endless underinvestment, chronic short-termism and that achingly familiar approach to industrial relations that regards partnership and consensus as suited only to wimps."

Don't believe the hype. The UK's Bill of Rights is a con. Far from improving them, it weakens rights protections.

Here's a piece I wrote a little while ago for @humanrightswatch -- the last time this misguided piece of legislation was on the Parliamentary agenda. Although the revised Bill remains to be seen, I would guess it's going to come back with some even more worry anti-migration provisions, curbing access to courts. hrw.org/news/2022/06/22/uk-gov

I saw at 1st hand over 3 months the work that nurses do. They cared for me when I was in a 40-day coma and wrote a 'Patient Diary' of all they did to keep me alive - and then in the Rehab hosp they assisted the OTs and physios to teach me to walk. I 100% support the strike.
