IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

It's the eye of the hog, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the hoooooog

I live deep in the Luxon zone. My sympathy for others around me is at zero.

Reminder: to leave twitter, you delete your account, stop pretending there needs to be some managed retreat.

Right? There are answers to issues on offer. But Verity has to satisfy the overlords that pay her, who naturally only like greed.

The Titanic chef who survived the sinking by getting completely wasted on booze is such a fascinating story because half the time ppl are like "he actually survived 2 hrs in water that killed ppl in 10 min wow" no he was probably in there for 2 min & it felt like 2 hrs because he was fully shitfaced

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files.
1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files."
2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse."
3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

Manon is really not well. Sinclair's surgery has been done, so he should be okay.
My ex is involved in this. He's had some wild injuries.

I heard someone at the pharmacy a few days ago discussing a similar wound. There was no panic for the jab, just a jab for precaution.

Yeah, should probably get one within 72 hrs of the cut if the jab was over 5 years ago. Sorry.

Lovely hot pink dragonfly I saw in Serra da Capivara National Park, Piaui, Brazil πŸ’˜

No idea of species - I was there studying the capuchin monkeys so I’m only sure it’s not a monkey

I don't touch AI. Not for anything. Plus my kids would eviserate me if I did.
The book I published last year was 500k words. Humans can write long form on their own just fine.

My ex-husband is a pro sailor. It is not surprising how nasty those kinds of crush injuries can be when they get thrown against equipment

They act like it's their right to recover financially from what happened. The government has made it very clear that they will not support anything affected by climate.

New Zealand never needed this rule because we grew up with an ice cream commercial that taught us "if you can't see the water, you're in underpants"

Our weather has been saying thunder and heavy rain all day, and I've gone and turned on my sprinklers because absolutely nothing has happened today
