iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

look forward - mens Rugby World Cup next year 🙂 I confess, as much as it pleases me to see women's football getting long overdue credit, I've always found football painfully tedious.

That seems rational. The noble savage is obviously old-hat, but I wonder how generally contented people are/where. Probably, shifting baselines, there are as many gripes, but, compared to wealth disparity now in "developed" nations, I doubt life was as perilous for the poor. As stressful for most.

I just saw that post actually just two below yours. I was only there for his wedding, but even flying in, the geography, then the malls etc. It felt VERY settler-colonial. I didn't feel comfortable there at all, except for the people I met, but more broadly, it felt very industrial, superficial. 🤔

It was 52°C the first few days I was in Agadir, Morocco (back when I had the recorces to go travelling.) Barely possible to do anything. On the beach, with the wind, I had to seek AC refuge within 20minutes. I wouldn't last more than 2 hours if I'd remained there without a lot of water.

We need to be very pro-active before rejoining. Re-nationalisation will face competition legislation if we don't do that first.

My brother lives there with his family. So I am concerned what this is about?

That is very good news BUT, Trump will become all the more dangerous and as shameless as ever. You have seen what he is like when even facing a difficult question. How he trash-talks former allies. Expect him to react like an abusive partner confronted with a spouse attempting to leave.

Daniel Moylan, head of the council which caused the Grenfell slaughter, was made a lord shortly afterwards. Boris dePheffel Johnson, who led to 200,000 deaths and millions looted, also is now a Lord. Jeremy Hunt, who decided austerity over PPE was made chancellor, despite the blood on his hands. etc

Any the doctor, guilty of nothing more than practicing medicine, raped to death by Israeli prison gards. All this talk of "fighting age men in small boats," those guards, or indeed anyone currently shooting children and bombing hospitals for Israel, is freely allowed to come and go as they please.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

It's at this point we realise that we are only free within strictly, dictated limits. Which is why Tony Blair is insanely rich, and his son, and has not been in prison for the last 25 years.

It was murder. Trump will pardon him whatever the outcome, which will up the anty when it comes to evicting him.

When this story first broke with proof, the guy had a ruptured rectum, ruptured bowels, ruptured diaphragm, punctured lung and broken ribs. The leaker was punished. The rapists where celebrated as Israeli national heroes.

Like their answer to wifebeating - our boys had better win the ball game 🙄 This is why education is so important.

great illustrations but, he is basically the dark triad.

000

we have to nationalise a lot of basic things first. Otherwise, totally onboard 👍🏽💪🏽

yea, saw this earlier. 😳 Sobering, to say the least.

000

I really like CW. Labour doesn't deserve him.

Rather see agro-solar, but we are VERY short on time now. Data from this year's (and next year's) El-ninio, is absolutely shocking. That coupled with the craziness Trump and Netenyahu unleashed... The next 12 months will be a massive wake-up call. In some ways I'm glad. Just hope it's outlier.

100% with you Zack. Thank you brother, you speak my mind aaaall the time. ❤️💪🏽🥳

Like every disabled toilet? Reminds me of a comedy short. "I really want to go into the ladies room, and kidnap, and murder somebody ... but unfortunately ..."

Tempted to gush 20 years of life history, all Ill say is I'm getting close to 50 now. Single, childless, and looking back, suspect I'd have something to look forward to as I approach end of life scenarios.

000

That's... quite a graph 😟

Imagine Braverman not being very clever ...

All the Normans, ... what about the bloody BEAKER folk? Bloody, Beaker folk, comin' over 'ere, teaching us to drink liquid out of beakers. WHAT'S WRONG WITH JUST CUPPING IT IN YOUR HANDS, AND LAPPING IT UP LIKE A CAT?

Well sure, but that's a bit like, I'd rather ride my bicycle into a patch of nettles than brambles. 😬

Hopefully NOT part of their routine audience 🤞🏽

I sadly suffered an IDENTICAL character, as a boss for 6 years, until 2015 (side-note, since 2016, it's like I'm being Fing HAUNTED!!). A lack of self-awareness is part and parcel of the narcissistic personality disorder. Ignoring the prick is easier from this side of the Atlantic. I feel for you🙏🏽

So I found out today that Peter Thiel grew up in Namibia, which, from 1915 until 1990, was captured administered by South Africa. SA proposed annexing in but the UNGA rejected. Despite that, many SA settler's moved in and PT was born under the same Apartheid system as Musk.

Totally agree about the last two for me. I'd have had a very good degree 25 years ago if that had been around then. Totally different life.

I used DuckDuckGo, except when I'm being lazy/want to use voice search for a quick spell check, for example.👍🏽 I deleted FB app, and they make it such a pain to use through DDG, I've stopped logging in!

it's a bit 40 years late for that, don't ask me how I know. On the eve of an AI/automation revolution what exactly are we talking about here? We should be incentivising elderly to down size and put younger families and couples in them, regardless of a speculative industrial carrot in 5-10 years.

Not so early - he has been in the party participating in genocide for three years. Watched idly by as young people are locked away as terrorists, for doing what everyone should, let alone politicians. I have absolutely no expectations of him at all. Nothing will change.

I have absolutely zero expectations of Burnham, or the party that has participated in genocide and imprisoned young people for doing what frankly every Labour member and Politician should have dove if they had a shred of integrity. I'm not buying any waffle.

Many countries have MUCH higher tax burdens on even average income people and the results, some of the nicest places to live in the world. Sure there's nuances there always is, but we seem to have re-imported this, Euro-American, 19th century, public-school Darwinism. 1. It's stupid, 2. It's wicked.

031

I had suspected it had been lifted like so. Coming from a (until recently) trusted brand like Google, it just occurred to me that as they made the search worse to increase revenue (since their market share was essentially total,) what else will they trade in/sell out next to keep shareholders happy?

we need to make CERTAIN that utilities that need to be nationalised, are so, BEFORE rejoining. Otherwise I have been led to believe, we won't be able to.

Not after Bush junior. I suspect I'd have thought the same of Regan but he was a bit before my time.
