Wild how absolutely none of the three main parties are suggesting the one thing that would actually save the NHS; building capacity into the system itself with good pay and working conditions to attract and retain staff. https://twitter.com/MichelePaduano/status/1588454849037103105

Bloody hell this is really magnificent from @asda Chairman Stuart Rose (formerly @marksandspencer)
More of this. Much more. It’s vital that business leaders speak out in this way. Bravo. 👏

Elon Musk is single-handedly destroying the myth that the rich are smarter or more talented than the rest of us.

capitalism and the market economy are such brilliant system in theory, too bad they just don't work for actual human beings

Remember when the right wing Labour bureaucracy secretly refused to place the Corbyn leadership’s Facebook ads except for a highly targeted campaign that only LOTO’s accounts would see?

This thing where Republicans can campaign freely, even as they’ve made every Dem campaign event a huge security risk, is the kind of relevant information members of the bothsides media *could* present to consumers in the course of regular election coverage. But they refuse. https://twitter.com/joanwalsh/status/1588879306897657859

So they launch these war games, provoke a bunch of North Korean missiles launches and then say they have to extend the war games because of the missile launches… https://twitter.com/antiwarcom/status/1588359909992976385

Interesting fact of the day: The same effect that cuased light in a prism to split up into different colors is what ultimately caused the first transatlantic telegraphic wire in 1858 to fail.
Morse code is transmitted as on-off signals, effectively square waves. Square waves are in fact made up of many different frequencies. Like in a prism different frequencies move at different speeds through a wire. Therefore as the on-off pulses traveled through the transatlantic telegraph wire the signal spread out like it does in a prism and ultimately the pulses would overlap and be indistinguishable.
The effect was so extreme that it took a message of only 98 words (the first message sent) over 67 minutes to send one way and a whopping 16 hours to confirm the message.
Whitehouse, a doctor with little mathematical understanding, thought he could solve the problem by increasing voltage, which we now know was a futile effort. He increased the voltage to the point he managed to short out the cable entirely and made it useless. However Lord Kelvin had already warned of the problem as was ignored and he came up with the law of squares to describe the problem which later was refined to give us the telegraphers equation. The telegraphers equation is still used today to model feedlines in radio transmitters and receivers.
All the people complaining about Mastodon seem to forgotten how shit Twitter was in the early days. Take your time, calm down, and just be patient. It’s not that hard to understand, it’s just a different way of doing things.

If you want to understand Elon Musk, then you first have to understand Carlo Cipolla's Five Universal Laws of Stupidity.
He's a textbook case.

Good article on how the US's approach to China makes war more likely.
"[It's a] cycle where the US makes the first move, interprets Chinese reactions as a provocation, and then escalates further. [We'll] end up provoking the war that we seek to deter"
