Finally seen at 6am….8hr wait. All ok, which is the main thing. The inside of A&E was like something from a….well don’t know what really.
4:44am. Been waiting outside A&E with my 10 and 13yr old since 10:00pm, wife still not been seen by doctor.
Nigel Farage decides to be honest about Brexit.
Go on then Nige. Tell us what you’re going to do that the last lot didn’t, IN DETAIL….otherwise stfu.
Interest piece on R4 this evening from ex-chair of Uk cartographic society. Basically Google are just providing the product they’re asked for to the US. Maps to Japanese audience shows Sea of Japan but to Korean audience shows Eastern Sea. That’s its due to the request of the orange clown..well..
How much AI is used in the player/npc interaction in video games? It seems like a ChatGPT or similar LLM trained on a game title/lore would make the interaction much more varied and interesting.
I’ve been in meetings in the UK where just that sort of thing has been discussed. Choice between male and female applicants for a position. Senior management saying openly, “trouble with women is they go getting pregnant”. It still happens. That’s why we need to keep DEI legislation.
There's a lot of folks out there that would agree whole heartedly.. They don't realise it's the way to keep the working class down..all those state educated kids not getting into top uni's, if you're not in the old boys club you don't get the job...but yeah, keep believing its everyone else..
Don't think it's quite as bleak as it seems .... from the BBC article "The BBC understands the UK government has begun consultations with business over the benefits of the PEM plan that could help cut red tape and improve trade. No final decision has been made yet."
Oh and my cat, sadly no longer with us...
Bsky and Threads interaction is quite different it seems. On Threads, short post about my cat being very ill and lots of likes/comments. Over here, same post…one like. 5x the followers over here though..!?!
This is the game plan kids, they hide in the chaos.
If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.
If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.
My best buddy, big beautiful ginger tom called Samuel, is at the vets. Really quite poorly, kidney problem. Just don’t know what to do with myself, quite surprised at how upset I am. Hope the big fella gets better.
That’s not a mental image I needed today…..
Almost comparable to flat earthers….but they genuinely believe the earth is flat, whereas this lot believe it’s a good way to get money and influence.
I think Trump has been pretty smart with all his senior nominations. They’re all so personally compromised, not one of them would dare stand up to him. Every single one will do his bidding. Because if they ever got fired, they’d never get anywhere near such a position again.
At least it’s only 4 years….
That's my point, it would be even worse.
They don't have a mandate to do that, regardless of the benefits and would be pretty popular across the electorate. Can you image what the headlines across the right wing press would be...constant hounding would obliterate anything positive. 2 term plan....ground work now, get a mandate in term 2
Why would she even bother asking that question? Everyone in the chamber knows it’s wrong. Any muppet that does believe it, is unlikely to be watching anyway. Just just made an arse of herself. Ffs, grow up.
MPs haven’t really been able to justify second jobs for a long time. Even 15 years ago they were on £60k+ plus the usual benefits. Would banning second jobs bring a different class of MP? Would Rees-Mogg/Johnson/Farage have bothered becoming MPs if they could only earn £90k?
I really just don’t get while Clacton voted for him. That’s a failing on my part…but surely they recognise now that it always been just another grift for him. Surely he couldn’t get elected? Or am I just that naive?
Dorries would be an upgrade to MTG….
That’s the point…the whole point. Create chaos, keep everyone else off balance and distracted while he gets on with his own agenda.
Usual arse gravy from the blonde sphincter that is Boris Johnson…
Assisted dying isn’t about suicide. It’s not about doctors deciding someone isn’t worth treating or about family trying to shuffle off an unwanted relative.
It’s about allowing someone the peace of knowing they’re still in control. That the end is on their terms.
Love you Dad. X
His end of life care was truly wonderful. I will be forever grateful to the doctors and nurses at the hospice.
But still, he wanted to go with dignity and before everything was stripped away.
I hope his story can add to the discussion and perhaps prompts you to join in.
Two weeks later and he’d lost that too.
Couldn’t speak, bed bound, choking and almost downing in his own saliva.
MND is a cruel disease.
I had the joy of spending his last full day of consciousness with him. Got to say how much I loved him.
But he just wanted to go. He had no fight left.
Written by my Dad in 2016, during the last 4 weeks of his life, dying from Motor Neurone Disease.
He was diagnosed in the February of that year and was dead by November. 76 years old, otherwise fit and healthy.
It was the only way he could communicate with his family and nurses.
