It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Not coincidentally, the area was already the hottest place in the country this summer. Miles and miles of baking tarmac and no trees.

One issue with a possible expansion of #Heathrow that's rarely discussed is that more planes must mean more chance of a major disaster over London. While the risk is low - why choose more flights over densely populated areas? #No3rdRunway #Don'tGrowHeathrow theconversation.com/airport-runw...

Airport runway collisions and near-misses are happening more frequently, 22 years of data show
Aviation safety is in the spotlight after four incidents at Sydney airport in almost as many weeks.

The expansion of Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the world. Burnham needs to block it | George Monbiot
A third runway would fly in the face of reason. If we are to prioritise human life over short-term ‘growth’, we need to use planes less, not more, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Burnham made Farage seem “angry, thin-skinned… absurd. What we witnessed today was a masterclass in political communication which makes Farage look like an amateur” Finally. The confidence that comes with emotional intelligence. It could make all the difference. iandunt.substack.com/p/burnham-sp...

He isn’t doing that. He is preventing pensions overtaking the wages of the working population. To help pay for social care. What’s wrong with that?

A third runway for Heathrow in the face of a climate emergency? The Government's own climate advisors say no! Ministers must withdraw support for this reckless plan that only benefits wealthy airport bosses, and support the buses and trains we use every day instead.
Image is of Green MPs Carla Denyer and Sian Berry, with Green Peer Jenny Jones and a campaigner from No 3rd Runway Coalition. They are stood in front of a digital van which reads: FINAL CALL: Andy Burnham. PROTECT OUR ECONOMY. Say NO to Heathrow's Third Runway.

Mamdani is the prototype of politicians we need in office. Some say we need to move to the "center" to win. For what? More money and power for billionaires while we get constantly screwed? Bullshit! We need politicians that will help US, NOT themselves and the billionaires that own them.
