What a loathsome individual.

“So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car so when a homeless person asks for money, then I give him like a fake $5 bill, so I feel good about myself, they feel good,” said McEntee in a clip with the caption “Just a joke. Everyone calm down .”

“And then, when they go to use it, they get arrested so I’m actually like helping clean up the community. You know, getting them off the street.”

Google has laid off their Python Foundation team and asked them to train their replacements who will be in the Munich office.

This is similar to layoffs in their finance department a few weeks ago where some positions were moved outside the country where they’re cheaper. 😬

Mean and petty behaviour by the government. Do something about it

@thepoliticalcat It's manifestly absurd. Poor old girl living alone in a tent when all her children and grandchildren are here.

FFS, , get your act together!

Australia's only native deciduous tree, Nothofagus gunnii, is now in its autumnal livery in Tasmania.

@perkinsy There are also species of nothofagus (=southern beech) growing in the Otways in southern Victoria, but they're not deciduous. Alas!

Revolting man. How dare he compares himself to such a decent, honourable, profoundly moral, courageous statesman.

'Acc to ’s PM there was agreement among the countries that 's aggression was a gross violation of international law and that should be helped.

it is in Hungary's interest, and it is the country's most important national security concern, not to share a border with Russia, because we have bad memories of that.'

You fill a battery when you fully charge it, right? (Note that "fill" and "full" are cognates!)

It costs me over $90 to fill my car's tank with petrol. If I could "fill" it for $5, I would be extremely pleased.

But it got your attention! Which is what I wanted.

As we approach there's going to be even more talk about the especially in relation to what might be 'acceptable' ¬Bour Party policy....

so for the uninitiated here is a slide from the Open Innovation Team Policy School that clearly sets out what the Overton Window actually refers to.

They thing to be clear about is that the central area - popular/policy/popular is not fixed and recently (the argument goes) has been moving to the right!

Nigel_Purchase,
@Nigel_Purchase@mstdn.social avatar

@ChrisMayLA6

As an example of shifting the window to the left:

=advocate for a wealth tax of 1.5% on wealth over 10 million. Accept the compromise of 1%

= advocate a top tax rate of 55% over £200,000 (A$400,000) Accept the compromise of £250,000 (A$500,000)

And so on.

Don't advocate for a little. Go for a lot, and scale back, so you get what you want. That's what the Right does.

I've been vegetarian for 45 years and 99% vegan for 10. I am perfectly healthy. I have low bad cholesterol and high good cholesterol. I have normal blood pressure and blood sugar. I still have all my hair, and it's mostly not grey.

This is surprising since I drink too much, eat too much and am overweight, and I'm 72. Most of the ppl I was at school with (all meatos) are on beta-blockers, etc, etc. Some are dead.
