Thank goodness there are NGOs prepared to get off their butts and take this corrupt shitty Government to court. The English are too busy with Insta and TikTok to realise the threats they face.
Scotland needs to cut itself free from the increasingly fascist machine in Westminster.
Is it really a good idea to have everyone know that?
It really doesn’t hurt.
Do we want “journalists” to drive over their and take pictures of people in crisis (possibly worsening it).
How is a journalist any different than a dozen randos posting it to TikTok? At least the journalist would be more likely to report facts instead of “#justdoit”.
Or let’s imagine a car chase, do we really want criminals to know that a spikestrip is set up 2 streets ahead?
his isn’t usually a concern. Spike strips are set up pretty much only when the criminal has no other option. They aren’t done in a residential area where there are many side streets and turns, because it’s like trying to herd cats.
Most of the time in a chase, it’s info the criminal is already going to know. Where they are, what they are doing, etc. the cops don’t normally detail their plans on the radio, just communicate info.
Do we want information like warrant and licence checks to be held over unencrypted radio transmitions. Allowing everyone who wants to to listen in and learn about people’s criminal histories?
This info is already public. You can literally just look it up on government sites. You can do that in many different countries, in fact. And I’d say that’s a good thing, actually. Why should we keep criminal activity private? How do we keep both citizens and government accountable if we aren’t open about what was done and the punishment received. Otherwise you can have people just disappear from the street into a jail cell, and the public have no way of ever knowing.
English folks the Covid booster is available for those who are caring for someone sick on a regular basis. I'm 60 and otherwise ineligible. Booked online, tomorrow, at the pharmacy down the road.
The #BurgerKing corporation continues to operate in #Russia despite sanctions, hiding behind their "complicated" franchise agreements. Boycott these #Russian assets. Don't buy their products feeding the monsters invading their neighbor, committing war crimes & crimes against humanity until they act like they care.
Not only are their ads horrible, they hate us all or they'd have left and eaten their losses like we've eaten their fast food. h/t to #BBCNews
Building new transmission is crucial towards getting a huge economy like in the U.S. down to net-zero GHG emissions, but there are vested interests and NIMBYism road blocks that we may not be able to politically navigate depending on next year's election turnout.
#DaftPunk mixed their first two albums on a JVC #boombox like this. All the standard advice to ‘don’t mix on this or that’ and they used a 10 year old boombox with a simple graphic equalizer.
The lesson: Expensive equipment isn’t necessary; mix on something you use and know well.
And don’t wait until you have the ‘right’ equipment. As #ArthurAshe said,
“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
I should know better than to post anything late on a Friday night in the U.S.. If a song is posted when most of us are asleep or wasted does it make a sound?
Hey. I wrote something new! Fresh! Weird, even. #JustDoIt
Perhaps political songs are verboten in 2023 like they were in 1973. Ever wonder why protest songs disappeared? It wasn't because people didn't write any. "Break out your leisure suits and dance, bitches!"
I am trying to get more consistent at adding ALT text to my pictures.
Yes, it takes a little extra time and effort and it's so much easier to just fire off that meme without stopping to think of how to describe it. But when you do it, you have an opportunity to make someone else's day a little bit nicer so it really is worth it.
