Just when you think the world is turning to shite?

Guten Morgen, Lieblings 😊 KW08 is underway, and after the endlessness of January, February is promising to be a "blink, and you'll miss it" month. 😬 I see the weekend is bringing some high temps rollercoaster weather... hard to believe when it's currently minus freezing here... stay warm, please! 😘

Genius, I say, genius.

1. He's right. It's asymmetric and has huge huge reach. 2. He's admitting Fox's role in the propaganda.

The largest pension fund in NL is divesting from GOOGLE, FACEBOOOK,INSTAGRAM and WHATSAPP. Sell, baby, sell!

Morning

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

Sarwar & Starmer's nuclear love-in. What's it all about? Scotland going for new nuclear is like geothermal/hydro-powered Iceland going for gas. It makes no sense at all. Our destiny is to develop clean green baseload energy like tidal for ourselves & the world www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Wow!!!!

Really shocking allegations about the Foreign Office's manipulation of processes to allow the UK to continue selling arms to regimes committing atrocities. It's clear govt has been complicit in war crimes and has questions to answer here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Chicken shit? Experts fear that H5N1, “may have been transmitted through a type of cattle feed called “poultry litter” – a mix of poultry excreta, spilled feed, feathers, and other waste scraped from the floors of industrial chicken and turkey production plants.” www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/civil-righ... … “ how creepy and frightening it is that civil rights are being systematically dismantled throughout the western world in the name of protecting the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state in the Middle East”

The excellent folks at @goodlawproject.bsky.social are stepping up the pressure on Ofcom. Please support and share far & wide! 👇👇👇

Albanese calls for Starmer and others to be investigated for complicity with Israel’s war crimes www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Labour's deregulatory race to the bottom will reconfigure the UK's economy as something for the asset-classes to extract and exploit for decades to come.

It's probably for the best, until we get our shit together.

The ICC guarantees accountability for international crimes and gives a voice to victims worldwide. It must be able to freely pursue the fight against global impunity. Europe will always stand for justice and the respect of international law.

I am incensed by this BBC news item which quite clearly infers that the gunmen was of Middle Eastern origin. It is blatant manipulation of the news designed to appease the supporters of the political right wing. It is a dreadful piece of journalism and the BBC should apologise publicly.
