    @Strandjunker I have been trying to get a vasectomy since I was 16, I am 44 now, last time I bothered asking for one was 34, which was denied, so I just decided to stay single after that. Even the healthcare system in the UK is geared up to put the weight of responsibility onto the woman...🤷‍♂️

    Note also that Huffpost has two politicians in its sights over the scandal: Keir Starmer and Ed Davey.

    @PhilipCJames she got her gong in 2019 & Rishi Sunak also signed a multi billion pound IT contract with Fujitsu after they were ruled against for the post office scandal, the Tories also continued to receive party funding from Simon Blagden (chairman of Fujitsu) who also has a CBE & is a member of the UKHSA. The Tories have been rewarding this criminality all the way through, not to mention the £700 million government payout to Fujitsu for the NHSPfIT debacle...

    Why haven't we heard this before?

    It turns out that we've known since 2012 that the global imposition of in the world's response to the crisis imposed by the financial crash of 2008 was justified by an economics paper based on a spreadsheet that contained a couple of coding errors.

    If the knew this, why have they continued to sanctimoniously impose their flawed ideology on the UK for the last decade?

    Cos it suits them...

    Too many American stores are already using facial recognition to spy on their customers. They don't deserve your business.

    I am still absorbing the enormity of the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling that Trump is ineligible to appear on the ballot.

    It was a long day, so forgive typing errors.

    It seems to me that there was plenty of due process, Colorado law empowered its elections officer to determine qualification, and the elections officer did so.

    I don't believe there has to a finding in criminal court that Trump engaged in insurrection for Section 3 to apply. . .

    The Murdoch family's Fox "News" did its best to foment national fear and loathing with its dangerously bogus claim that the car explosion at Niagara Falls was terrorism.

    It's a reminder that Murdoch and his underlings relentlessly inject poison into our civic bloodstream, for profit and power.

    @ScepticalScot1 the UK economy is a basket case, the public services are in ruins, councils are going bust, the national debt is out of control during the highest interest rates in over 15 years and the Tories are cutting taxes like there is no tomorrow. There is a recession predicted on the horizon & no savings to protect ourselves against the worst of it, there is nowhere left to cut. 13 years of Tory incompetence...

    @ScepticalScot1 @jbond not a chance, though there should be, but I think we just have to accept that the Tories have moved over £150 billion in taxpayers money into the hands of their donors that they will get rewarded for once they are out of office, they also burnt through £300 billion in taxpayers money for virtually no value or return to the country. The level of incompetence & waste this government has been responsible for is biblical & will be felt for decades to come.

    Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

    "Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

    "Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."
