Walgreens Cuts Pay for Hourly Store Workers After $10 Billion Buyout Walgreens will no longer give many of its retail workers paid vacation time for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays, as the company looks to cut costs under new owners.

Is this good? It doesn't seem good.

Boomer is known not only among the Defenders from the 127th Heavy Mechanized Brigade, but also by all the local residents.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

BBC faces ‘existential’ threat after exit of top executives Broadcaster’s deepest crisis in recent history comes amid fresh questions over its future role in British society

I do not understand the Labour government's reticence over defending the BBC and social media regulation. Their long-term survival basically depends on it. Their cowardice in the face of it may be the single thing they are most remembered for.

If you think that “the slow vanishing of employee benefits” is a better trade politically than “the other lot saying you broke your promise on income tax”, you are out of your tree: www.ft.com/content/1160...

A former Plaid Cymru Chief Executive is now being paid £190k a year as the BBC's Nations Director. This is living proof that the BBC is infected with left-wing bias right to the top-

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

A social media post by Karoline Leavitt (The White House Press Secretary) showing two news headlines side-by-side. The left headline, under a caption that reads "Shot" reads: "Trump goes to war with 'fake news' BBC," and the right headline under a caption that reads "Chaser" reads: "Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general over Trump documentary edit."

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.

To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

Tim Davie resigns as BBC director general after accusations of ‘serious and systemic’ bias in coverage Davie tells staff departure was “my own decision” but it comes with the BBC preparing to apologise for the way it edited a Trump speech

However valid, it's wearying that there are resignations over allegations of left-wing bias when so many of us despair every time BBC News drops everything to livestream a speech by Nigel Farage. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Neither Tim Davie nor Deborah Turness incited an insurrection against the US Capitol. Congressman didn’t have to flee for their lives because of a BBC Panorama edit.

That all happened because of President Donald Trump. If he didn’t resign, it’s truly *insane* that anyone else does.

Joe Weir, Fire Brigades Union executive council member for the South East, said: "Kent firefighters work round the clock to keep the public safe. The least they deserve is political leadership that functions. "Since Reform took over the council in May, we have seen a deeply worrying lack of care and diligence. The FBU has written to Linden Kemkaran, or 'captain chaos as she is becoming known, to ask for a meeting, but nothing has been forthcoming. "The FBU will continue to defend the safety and welfare of firefighters, as well as the safety of the public."

Labour should be posting this everywhere.

Reform UK Party Ltd’s ‘flagship’ council of Kent is not just in chaos — it’s a threat to public safety.

Will any journalist be asking Farage directly about this?
I don’t hold out any hope whatsoever.

Man invents solar-powered backpack that turns into a bed and a generator for homeless people And thousands have already been donated to people in need.

An inventor by the name of Zac Clark designed a rugged #solar-powered backpack (the #MakeshiftTraveler) that not only charges phones via its battery and solar panel, but also unfolds into a sleeping system with a tent, rain poncho, flashlight and hygiene kit for people experiencing #homelessness 😊🎒☀️

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

🇦🇺Australia’s government is rolling out a plan to give everyone free #electricity⚡ for a few hours each day, when #solar power output is very high, to encourage shifted energy use and ease grid stress ☀️🔌😀
