@fkamiah17 ah yes the International Court of Justice and the World Health Organisation are famously incompetent when it comes to identifying genocide and famine. It must be their antisemitism.

Dunno which Churchill he's talking about. How is this guy still considered a historian??

David Starkey: "When human rights were invented by Churchill, they were intended to protect the individual against the state. The left has redesigned them to protect minorities against the majority."

If we have so much good AI tech why can't anyone make a spell check that I can't stump?

A few times a week I must go to the dictionary (like a cavewoman!) or search the web since I've mangled some word in such a way that there are no suggestions. It's just "wrong" what's wrong with it? Who knows!

Could it be a scientific name and just not in the dictionary? Maybe! Could it be an obscure word with a pretentious UK spelling? Probably! Could it be wrong? Also probably.

Do this first AI lords.

@fkamiah17 WTF the two child cap and the bedroom tax were identified as two major reasons for pushing people into poverty. I guess that’s not a priority for “Labour” anymore.

meanwhile in there US, Boeing's troubles look to be about to get (even) worse.

After the two 737Max fatal crashes, the US Dept. of Justice agreed not to prosecute if it addressed the issues that had led to the engineering mistakes that causes the crashes... some saw that as letting Boeing off the hook.

Now the DoJ has decided that the agreement is off because Boeing had not honoured the 'deal'; might we now see major prosecution of Boeing?

@fkamiah17 @ChrisMayLA6 nah Boeing is at another scale altogether. They provide strategic weapons systems, at least that bit of the company will be kept alive. There will be almighty legal action with Airbus arguing that the military contracts are essentially subsidies, but they’ve gone in the same business themselves. The wheel will carry on grinding.

@fkamiah17 @ChrisMayLA6 they’ll be kept afloat by their military contracts. They make very, very expensive bombers.

I’d have been happier had Schreiner (Berlin’s transport senator) gone because she’s awful. But you can’t have it all, and that she has gone is the important bit.

(It’s because her PhD had major flaws)

The fact that the press is waiting in front of the door to 10 Downing Street in the rain for Rishi Sunak to announce the General Election, makes me wonder whatever the Hell happened to that press briefing room that they spent £2.6 million on?

Oh that's right. BoJo the Clown decided he didn't want to do 'White House' style press briefings after he kept getting awkward questions.

@fkamiah17 she’s so disingenuous I’m surprised she didn’t self combust: “That’s not somebody who I would want necessarily influencing my child”
So the students are old enough to join the military, get into 000s in debt, and get charged by riot police but they need to be protected from anti colonial words? Despicable.
