"The £4.1bn bill for the 1,307 brain-damaged babies is further evidence of the growing crisis of poor care being provided across many NHS childbirth services. Almost two-thirds of maternity units in England are unsafe, according to the Care Quality Commission, the independent health regulator. Maternity care overall is getting worse, the CQC has warned.”

We have the same oligarchs, same multinationals, same climate, same media pipelines.
They are using the same playbook.
You have been warning us about their history.
Their fascism isn’t even being hidden.
A long time ago, I made a conscious decision to be a good person because I’m good at being a bad person, if I want to be. I have diverse talents. 😃 Hence, I’m also good at fucking with bad people.
A grim day today. Something's trying to kill me. I will kill it.
I will wipe out every single last one. I will torture them. I will rip them to unidentifiable fragments. The screams of their young will be music to my ears.
The slaughter will continue until there is nothing left to rend apart alive.
I want not just their deaths. I want them to be so psychologically damaged after death their reincarnations will be too broken to function and they choose death over rebirth.

Sigh…
I hope what I hear locally is not representative everywhere, but they would be proud of them “deporting the Democrats.” If you think deporting citizens, I remind you they speak in whistles and own guns.

I think Russians thought they wouldn’t be constrained by “the meat grinder, Germans said in newspapers that Hitler wouldn’t do the things he said. I KNOW there is an eagerness to start killing people here. What numbers? How many people will be startled after people start dying?
Remember also that the NRA is a front used to launder Russian money to Republicans.
It only works because Harlan Crow paid for a Citizens United ruling.
I’ve been wanting this print of ants for years and at last broke down and got it. Just put it in a frame. I could look at it forever— it came with a card with a key to each species!

That driver ant queen is causing me to do a double take. I wouldn’t have even recognized it as an ant.
Sure the honeypot ant stands out, but it looks like an ant with an unusual feature.
That driver ant feels almost beetle like, my eyes rolling past the thorax segment as though it wasn’t there…
Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
The overhead for the AI on a minecraft ant is so great that the mod creators limit the colonies to just 20 ants to prevent lag. Fine for gameplay 20 feels like a lot.
Interesting the kind of things they do: remember the location of their nest, find a path back, collect leaves etc. are so taxing.
In the real world a colony of 1000+ is typical. Some colonies have millions of ants. And real ants have much more to "process" Kind of gives you a sense of the scale of the intelligence of a colony.
"Details about oil majors contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to top universities to build relationships that could help the industry avoid taking climate action were inside thousands of pages of documents unveiled Tuesday by Democrats on the House Oversight and Accountability and the Senate Budget committees.
Of the files released Tuesday, many show the extraordinary lengths energy giants have gone to in order to maintain public support for the oil industry — a major employer that’s also one of the nation’s top corporate climate polluters.
Companies have acknowledged, then flat-out ignored, stark warnings about the fate of the planet in relation to their activities."

I find that if you keep a closet closed long enough that it becomes mysterious and spooky.
It might be an experiment worth duplicating.
@Binder plugs ears
Nhhh Nhhh Nhhh Nhhh
I am tuning you out so…
OMG!
I did need to hear that.
You are so right.
Thank you for phrasing it that precise way.
@StillIRise1963
I get terrified of my neighbors, and feel soothed by reading like minded people’s rational concerns over the same issues. It makes me feel hopeful that others can see the same crazy.
The line between this and doom scrolling is much blurrier than it should be.
