I've never been a fan of the USA Tracy, but I reckon as I've not been in the US since I was 8 years old and wouldn't go to the World Cup if it was in Scotland they'd not notice me boycotting them much 😂

Elon Musk's father suggests having babies should be more like breeding horses
Elon Musk's views are in the spotlight as his influence on Donald Trump - and his future policy - deepens. Few understand the origin of his pro-birth views better than his father, Errol Musk - an engi...

Hunger is a violation of basic human rights – we should be outraged by UK's food bank crisis. Work doesn't pay. 38% of universal credit claimants are at work. 1% has more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Must redistribute income/wealth. Tax the rich. www.bigissue.com/opinion/food...

UK's food bank crisis is violating our basic human rights
Food banks are a violation of our human right to food on an unprecedented scale. Hunger should spark outrage, writes Just Fair’s Alex Firth.

🧵 Whatever your views on assisted dying, I always assumed we’d all agree that the topic is ethically fraught & complex. Not so Matthew Parris. For him, it’s simple. Earlier this year, he argued that old & frail people *should* be killed - to save society the cost of looking after them. 1/n

A Dignity in Dying patron, AC Grayling, has told The Telegraph he’d already like to extend assisted dying to people who are “wheelchair bound.” Not remotely chilling. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11...
He added: “If as an act of compassion you wanted to help somebody escape suffering, then why only in the last six months of a terminal illness? Why not for somebody who simply cannot come to terms with being wheelchair bound let us say? Or who is clinically depressed and is never going to be independent of medications for the rest of their lives?”

Things I learnt while working on overseas emergencies: no. 1) everyone who knows anything is terrified of a measles outbreak and that's why we vaccinate

Do you remember Clive James' programmes on tv? Particularly the Japanese game shows which were the precursors of I'm A Celeb, etc.? We said at the time that they'd never fly here. How wrong we were.

I listen to plenty of people on mainstream tv/news that I don't agree with. I don't really NEED it on social media as well. If I encounter it that's fine, I don't seek it out.

This is awful & heartbreaking. Schoolchildren from struggling families have pretended to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food. Ending child poverty must be a priority for the Government www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Milton Keynes children 'pretending to eat from empty lunchboxes'
More than one in three children in Milton Keynes are living in poverty, an organisation says.

Oh jeez Moira, sorry to hear that. It's hard some years. Haven't yet lost contemporary rellies - bar two. And those were more than a decade ago. Will catch you up on some of our stuff by DM in coming days. (Nothing dreadful, but some challenges).

Always this. Never not this. You don’t get to say “well, if you read the story, you’ll see it’s a careful and nuanced take”. Is it? Then don’t use a dogshit headline!

I've done the rounds of Threads and Mastodon and here and I genuinely feel most comfy here. I think it's probably because it looks 'right' and feels very Twitter in the early days.
