The problem with these defeats is they are going to be less likely to call a GE before they really need to, as they know full well they face total wipeout at the polls.

They may as well call a GE as early as possible in 2024, conceed the inevitable defeat and then start to rebuild.

In the meantime Labour need 10 years to fix the mess we are in.

Yes it was not many people used it though

I got the impression that a defribrilator will only give a person a shock IF it detects the abnormality in the heart

At least the modern ones, old fashioned defibrillators were manual. In fact the new ones talk to you, give you instructions and are designed to be used by anyone.

Excellent point there, I was thinking of creaating one for anyone who wishes to employ me, to remind them of the fact employees are humans and need to be treated properly.

People saying there should be fewer manifestos — I disagree, there should be far more manifestos. Everyone should have a manifesto.

Try to write down the 5-10 things you truly believe in. At minimum it's a good exercise.

We need toget the word out that mastodon even exists esp given we can't mention it on X in the first place

It’s amazing to me that a proposal to scan *literally ever private communication in Europe* is barely making newspapers, and we’re reading about legislative progress on blogs.

I can feel distress over dead Israelis without being a Zionist.

I can feel distress over dead Palestinians without being a Hamas sympathiser.

I can condemn acts of terrorism *and* war crimes for the atrocities they both are.

I can condemn the use of human shields, and also condemn ongoing occupation and apartheid.

i see the random, wanton acts of terror, and i also see the everyday, grinding, damaging acts of oppression.

@verdantsquare
SOcial media companies have known about fake news and fake accounts and appear to have failed to come up with a proper solution, the result is like with Ukraine, a tide of fake content, and now the smae with Palestine / Israel

They surely have the means to tackle this, but have just chosen not to.

It will cost lives.

LibreOffice can open some MS office docs but you're right, there

do the kids have an opportunity to write essays or make presentations to the class, perhaps they can write something about free software :)

@fulelo

Sounds good, i was just asking as some items do have a shelf life.

@zleap it tends to be powdered milk, protein, water, rice, pulses, maybe some cans - nothing that would go off

Two things that happened this week:
- YouTube started banning the use of ad blockers
- Google was found serving ads with malware
