Andy Burnham failing from day one. How many warnings from respected experts does it take to say no to big oil and big tech?
The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · 15h ago"Ignoring extreme heat and raging fires isn't just complacency. It's a dereliction of duty." Experts warn the climate crisis is already costing lives and urgent action from the Government is needed.
Tonight's film is... The Killer (1989). The John Woo, Chow Yun Fat joint. Not sure I've seen it. Maybe but not in recent memory.

People saying it looks like police executed a Black man (Corey) in the USA yesterday. I don't have words this time 💔
Sami Schalk@drsamischalk.bsky.social · 2w agoPolice murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Just seen The Odyssey and wish I hadn't just read The Odyssey because I kinda hate the film ending. I get Nolan's changes are required for the theme he wants to explore i.e. guilt. But the Calypso change bugs me bc it shifts his agency. It's no longer about going home as a human imperative.

Constantly annoyed that, except a handful of established names, it is so hard to find speculative fic by Black authors. Finding physical copies, not ebooks or anthologies = hard. Add 'must be available in Sweden' = impossible. In translation = forget it! Black authors live in the margins.

Wondering who is really in the market to buy next gen consoles. Judging by the price of Switch 2 both Sony & Microsoft machines are going to be eye-watering price points. GTA 6 is $80 on current gen & people are like okay, but this had better last me a while. Steam Deck makes the most sense rn

Yes! The baffling decision to make asylum seekers pay back the costs once they're in work beggars belief! Imagine avoiding taxing billionaires but taxing the most vulnerable fleeing war and persecution. If you let them work, they'll pay taxes anyway. But don't punish them for fleeing war.
