Southern Water applies for permission to draw water from rare chalk stream.

Macquarie controlled company loses 91m litres of water per day to leaks.

No new reservoirs built since 1989.

Dumped sewage for 300,000 hours into rivers.

Customer bills up 47% this year.

End fleecing. Nationalise water.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. A conspiracy theory spouting ghoul.

People keep calling RFK Jr. a eugenicist and I genuinely think that's giving him too much credit and his actual ideology is way less coherent than that

This is wonderful news

This is what media sanewashing our insane president looks like, courtesy today of ABC, CNN and The NY Times:

Top Trump officials will discuss Epstein strategy at Wednesday dinner hosted by Vance | CNN Politics Top Trump administration officials will gather at the vice president’s residence Wednesday evening as they continue to weigh whether to publish an audio recording and transcript of Deputy Attorney Gen...

suffice it to say it's not normal for the AG and FBI director to meet with administration officials about an ongoing coverup

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…

I'll stop reposting this when they stop doing it

Buttigieg has doubled down on his “leave the issue of trans kids in sports up to communities.”

To reiterate: This means leaving civil rights up to localities, abdicating the role of the federal government.

School districts controlled by Moms for Liberty extremists will be free to discriminate.

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

Sam Altman @sama someday soon something smarter than the smartest person you know will be running on a device in your pocket, helping you with whatever you want. this is a very remarkable thing.

Sam Altman has got to the point where he doesn't even bother to describe stuff anymore. "Uhh yeah sometime you'll have a thingy that will do stuff. And wow will it be good!"

Ah, an intellectual battle between a stochastic parrot incapable of true thought, designed in a laboratory to satisfy the whims of the far-right, and Grok.

Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Heckuva time for Trump to declare that 14-year-olds are now adults.

TEXAS IS JUST STEP ONE

Trump plans to take redistricting fights nationwide—and now he’s gaslighting, claiming blue states gerrymander more than red ones.

FACT: House Dems are on record backing a national ban on gerrymandering. Republicans blocked it.

Democrats should fight fire with a blowtorch.

So much for “America first.”

Corbyn hits back at Rayner’s war on allotments Former Labour leader and vegetable-growing fan accuses Housing Secretary of ‘trying to put a nail in the coffin’ of a long British tradition

Is this Government going to put the nail in the coffin of the joy of digging ground for potatoes on a cold, wet February Sunday afternoon?

The battle for the grass roots is on!

This is a pertinent point. The M&S employee did nothing wrong, if that is enough to force a grovelling apology to terfs on from a behemoth like Marks, then...what chance do trans people, just making their way in this country, have!

I won't be going to M&S again.

The Home Secretary says “This isn’t about Palestine.”

But everyone can see the truth.

They’re arming a genocide and criminalising those who speak out.

This is how fascism begins.

We must stand up. For Palestine. For all our rights. For democracy.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

Stop the NHS sell-off to parasites
deliberately delivering a worse service
profiteering from our sickness

I've had enough run ins with middle managers who've been caught out to know when they're lying and boy is this a great example.

Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them.
Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

67% of the British public view Starmer unfavourably!!

Ah, they always say that! We don't know everything. Well, try telling us.

r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

You're so close

Newsom will not be able to win national office, no matter how many marginalized groups he throws under the bus. Cross him off the list now so it doesn’t come down to him as the presidential nominee. We can and should do better!
