Labour just don't get it. They don't get how scared people are with extreme weather becoming our new normal. We need voices in parliament that will force them to take wildfires seriously, not quietly shirk responsibility.

On another note, "who dis, new camera?" This shot was pure luck on my part, enhanced by Japanese sorcery-machinery. It is very far from perfect (such as the blown out lights and spire), but I still like it.

Even this place is turning into an environment where you post a reflective response, then half the Internet jumps on you after wrongly and entirely unreasonably interpreting that comment as the opening salvo in yet another factional war. Deary bloody me.

Not an entirely unreasonable perspective, IMO. I'm no doomer AND concerns are still justified. These systems are not normal software, they are effectively grown. So we cannot know what they are doing. Irrelevant whether they lack consciousness, intent. Or otherwise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rtp...

I can’t believe how much of the internet is convinced the FlyDubai assault and near terminal event didn’t happen. It clearly did. You can see the damage to the rudder while people were still disembarking. You can see the altitude trace from tracking systems. I mean, really. Yes they were very lucky.

Much of this applies to the UK, and the bought-and-paid-for succession of Labour and Tory governments and politicians we endure year after year Labour’s refusal to meaningfully cap political donations tells you everything you need to know about how committed to corruption they really are

She should be sacked, and then we should ask how and why the main left party going very hard into National Front crackdowns, rhetoric and imagery - a thing that horrifies their own members - earned them the roaring approval of the British press. Because that’s the core issue, right there.

I'm no longer responding to facetious responses to my posts. People can work that stuff out for themselves, especially on here.

Just urging everyone to give the -ist thing a miss if we can. We are all a mixture of many things. Tribalism - especially in these times - helps nobody. There are evil people but very few in my experience; perhaps best to reserve our contempt for those who really are.
