This is a confession to treason. Elon Musk, a private individual and not an elected official, hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm partner Ukraine and help enemy Russia. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I thought I had seen it all, but this is an astonishing new low, putting the US in the company of Iran, Afghanistan and N Korea. I abhor the death penalty. The idea that kids, including my own, might see such an execution shocks me to the core. Abhorrent, barbaric, sick, warped, cruel and twisted.

GPs are drowning in patients’ online requests for advice, after last year’s commitment by the health secretary that all online queries would receive a same day response. Hospitals now face the equivalent, as specialists are being overwhelmed with advice requests. www.bmj.com/content/395/...

And then the Tories ban @josiahmortimer.bsky.social and @adambienkov.bsky.social from their conference. Definitely guilty of having no integrity, no confidence in their own ideas and (and this is the big one if you're a patriotic Brit) NO SENSE OF HUMOUR

People say that humans are basically 'good' but the evidence all around us is to the contrary. Uncontrolled, humans are evil, whether Iran, Afghanistan, Trump's America, Russia, China or UK under Farage. There seems to be a need to hate, a need to kill. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

It's like a fascist feeding frenzy. People should have little doubt that this is how a future Reform UK government would deal with any opposition to their rule.
Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

I mean… this is a painful watch. Here we are, Brexit Britain, in our not-so-splendid isolation, being battered on trade, less secure, less reliable, less trusted… just so much less… Canada wants in and we still can’t admit what arrogant, clueless fools we were for throwing it all away.
Mark Carney: "This fall we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership"

The “locker-room talk,” “fuck your feelings” folks do not get to spend half a century treating women’s equality like an administrative error and then appoint themselves hall monitors of misogyny because Jon Ossoff uttered one woman’s first name. jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/how-dare-j...
