Hello. I've looked at a couple of servers and finally settled here. What is particularly excellent and unique is the ability to follow another domain of interest and get its whole public timeline on your Home page or in a list. So I can easily keep an eye on what's happening on other servers. Everyone needs Domain Subscription!

Politics has a bullying problem. We’ve made some important changes in parliament but nowhere near enough. Some don’t understand the force of their power or the harshness of their aggression. Some don’t recognise bullying. But that’s part of the problem.

At a time when we’re about as rich as we’ve ever been we apparently can’t afford the NHS. That doesn’t make sense. So there must be other explanations for the mess it is in. Two choices. 1) Tories say we aren’t that rich. Or 2), they have massively messed things up. You choose.

“Not only is the UK the only major economy to be shrinking in the three months to Sep, but it is the only one not to have recovered in full the chunk of the economy lost during the pandemic.
The UK has an economy 0.4% smaller than in the quarter before the pandemic in Q4 2019.”

@LauraKT@mastodonapp.uk I have seen someone say Fox News.

Why not News Corp itself?

UK Politics; Sunak 

“One may be an oddity, two a coincidence. Three is a pattern. The slimy antics of Mr Hancock, the revolving disgraces of “Sir” Gavin & the continued presence in high office of Ms Braverman epitomise a culture of shamelessness”

Financial institutions have poured billions in investment in fossil fuels since Paris Agreement.

In 2021 for first time clean energy received more finance than fossil.

#cop27 To meet the clean energy investment needs that ratio has to jump to 4:1 by 2030.

“Verified” brand chaos on Twitter 

Twitter Blue “verfication” is causing absolute carnage for big brands on Twitter.

@chasdebrus@mastodonapp.uk @mattgemmell that's actually quite a good mixed metaphor.

It's losing critical mass and it's about to fall past the event horizon.

And remember that from the POV of someone crossing the event horizon, nothing seems different, it's just that there's no theoretical possibility of escape after that

@mattgemmell it depends on how amoral one is. And free from extradition.

Someone who shorted Eli Lilly shares could have made a fortune for the outlay of $8 on a prepaid debit card

There’s no blue checkmark in the world worth giving your credit card info to a company that just fired the bulk of its devs responsible for digital security.

Jim Parkin boosted

Witticisms aside, take this seriously. They no longer have a Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Privacy Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, or head of Trust and Safety (the former three resigned together yesterday). And fired thousands of devs, many of whom may rightly feel ill-treated. Then there are all the malicious opportunists smelling blood in the water. Do NOT give Twitter your payment info or sensitive details (e.g. via DMs to anyone), please!
