The US and Israel are bombing hospitals… hospitals. And this is normal now? No one’s even batting an eyelid?
Israel literally levelled every hospital in Gaza and these fuckers are spoken of as allies? Now they’ve reportedly bombed over 30 hospitals in Iran.
The inhumanity.
Fuck anyone who supports these sociopaths.
The journalists who spent time and energy learning Banksy’s identity, then published the details, suck.
They suck.
They could have spent that time and energy exposing corrupt billionaires and politicians.
They could have minded their business and let us continue to enjoy the fun of not knowing.
Those journalists are conscience free, romance free.
They suck.
“Trump urges UK and other nations to send ships to help secure Strait of Hormuz after Iranian attacks”
Ooh, ooh, no; if you start an illegal war that is now going badly, you don’t get to drag the rest of us in to prop you up.
(Obviously some idiot governments will respond with assistance - UKGOV almost certainly will because they haven’t the sense of a four day old pilchard - but let me have my fantasy that everyone tells him to shove it up his Vance.)
If you work in tech in the UK, join a union.
Even if your employer is great now, things can change. The current general obsession with AI is a good reason to be aware of all of your rights.
Even as a lone member in a company you have access to valuable advice and support. 🤞 You may never need it, in which case your membership helps those that do.

The ruling of the European Court of Justice yesterday is amazing news to non-binary people IMHO : The ruling clarifies that Member States must issue document matching the presented gender of citizens - it does at no place limit the definition of gender to male or female. Considering how barely any member state recognizes non-binary gender, this will be an amazing foundation to sue countries to provide them.

"We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose", says man who lied his way to power. 🙄
His party's lies helped them lose the #byelection.

The so-called "#LabourParty" fought a very dirty campaign in #GortonAndDenton. They lost heavily, but they haven't cleaned up their act.
So Josh Simons, who has now resigned in the wake of revelations about his attempt to smear journalists who had looked into the funding of his think-tank (so-called) Labour Together & tried to get the security services to look at them, has not (according to Laurie Magnus) broken the (again, so-called) Ministerial Code.
What would you have to do I wonder for Magnus to find that the code has indeed been broken?
The code's vagueness itself is contributing to the disrepute of politics!
@dasgrueneblatt I think you have misunderstood me: I think vibe coding is a horrendous problem, but it is a symptom of an industry failing. That people are trying to steer a tank with a speak'n'spell is because we have not made decent bikes.
