Had the misfortune earlier to be driving behind a Tesla whose driver was trying unsuccessfully to direct it in a straight line. He then signalled left but the vehicle veered sharply to the right... metaphor?

Pizza Hut workers accuse franchisee of docking wages. Alleging it altered timesheets, docked wages and stopped payments per delivery. Employment conditions changed without consultation. Delivery drivers expected to pay for fuel from their own pocket. Expect no hardship for bosses.

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I went to a free concert at a local church - The Gustav Holst Ensemble - & half way through the second piece - Brahms Piano Quartet no. 3 - I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. A moment of absolute beauty. Never known anything like it.

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028.
Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

If you care about fighting cuts to welfare & disability payments, safeguarding the NHS, taxing the super-rich and action on the climate crisis #VoteGreen Reform UK are fraudsters.

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

Solar panels on all suitable new homes is a win-win-win: cutting bills, cutting emissions, and making the UK more energy secure. We've got a vanishingly small window of chance to prevent climate breakdown & we need to take every chance we can get to bring down emissions. #SunshineBill
