"The NHS [during the covid pandemic]..adapted radically different ways of working overnight." Whenever a politician sneers disrespectfully at the NHS (& ergo its staff) for apparantly being set in its ways/slow to adapt - hit them with this. How quickly people forget. bylines.cymru/politics-and...

This is a really important story about the ineffectiveness of the UK solicitors regulation authority in failing to curb practices like #slapps that undermine investigative journalism that expose #corruption. Why not support @opendemocracy.net to keep this stuff coming?

Hey @wetransfer.bsky.social I've happily paid for your service for years but I do not need the 'Ultimate' plan you have signed me up to. I want the 'Starter' service advertised at €8 per month. Unfortunately the link to this plan takes you nowhere. Why are you undermining customers like this?

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
