How to note Sunakโ€™s election announcement here? Getting drenched in rain was symbolic & symptomatic; tragically a man died in a mudslide in Yorkshire the same day.

Will this election be decisive from a climate policy point of view? Labour will be better, but how much exactly I donโ€™t know, given scrapped pledges. Of course i am hopeful for Green party gains. But actual positive excitement and energy, again rallying everyone to make this a etc? sadly, no.

@pvonhellermannn I honestly do not know how labor could even consider the position of turning this country around from its demonstrable position of weakness caused by the Tories and the destruction of our economy. The cost of repairing the damage is running into the trillions that is how badly the Tories have done and how unlikely labour will be able to turn this around especially while the Tories and the client media will be sniping from the sidelines from the get go...

Lets be absolutely clear - at the centre of the infected blood scandal, as so many other 'scandals' involving institutions riding rough-shod over the interests & well-being of ordinary people (see the posted list & additions in my timeline over the weekend) is one thing:

People in power lying to those whose lives have been ruined.

LYING... not making mistakes, not misunderstanding... LYING.

This is the culture that infects our political & social 'elites'; being (very) comfortable lying to us!

@ChrisMayLA6 these privileged smug lying arseholes in positions of power have done so much damage that I would actually support a life sentence for anybody caught doing it, their lies over the post office, Hillsborough, Brexit, immigration, Covid, the EU & everything else that has actually led to the pain, suffering & the deaths of innocent people should be met with the harshest & most aggressive punishment available, strip them of their wealth to pay for the damage they caused with their lies.

is too stupid to realize that NOT voting for is a vote FOR , and that her boycott of could be her last โ€” She might not get another opportunity to vote EVER.

@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta I assume there is a moral argument to be made that the best thing for humanity the planet the environment & the future is to push us down a dark awful route that brings about a global collapse sooner rather than later as in the long run things will improve faster from the ashes of our old/archaic "civilisation". But this would very much wander into the "the ends justify the means" sociopathic worldview. But both seem like two cheeks of the same arse.

@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta these people have always existed, in one form or another, it's just now they can be organised & managed on a global scale & paid for their troubles. They don't really concern me. What actually concerns me is apathy, that is the fastest path to either global collapse or global fascism (both paths look virtually the same) but we are bound by a universal structure that poisons everything, which is the bastardised version of capitalism we all participate in.

@rameshgupta @benroyce @nicholas_saunders choosing to not vote is the same as choosing to not join in with capitalism, it makes you feel morally superior but actually does nothing to improve the situation whatsoever, working to improve those systems that have been forced on us is more likely to encourage more people to join you, well thought out changes are easy to get support for as long as they are promoted as a positive, not an "anti", people get put off by extreme people shouting at them...

@rameshgupta @benroyce @nicholas_saunders there is a reason that "never let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is the truest way to live your life & the best way to bring people with you in real numbers...

@nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta @benroyce the UK (just as the US) has heard the structure of their own democracy creek & groan under the pressures applied to it over the last 16/17 years & though it has sprung a few leaks (on both sides of the Atlantic) it has held pretty strong & there is only so long that people can deny reality before it kicks down your door & slaps you around the face with a gigantic haddock, as is the nature of observable reality...

Cardi B Won't Vote for Biden Again, Citing 'Layers and Layers of Disappointment' in His Administration

@br00t4c I am honestly curious if they have made peace with Trump as president & I wonder what their calculation is as to what happens after Trump & if they feel that another Trump presidency will change things for the better by either being so bad that the democratic party are forced into a new direction or is there a hope to destroy all political parties in attempt to change politics forever & how that calculation will actually bring about the right kind of change?

Matt Farrah of The Smoking Tire gave an honest and (therefore) devastatingly negative review of the #Cybertruck. Good on him. Every point he makes is spot-on (except maybe the chuckle-inducing post-Apocalypse truck argument).
