How did they manage to overcome things in the 1960s and cant now, with tech so much cheaper.

That area is pretty dead, it needs something to visit, so good luck to the plans.

Wow, London is always changing. Please make the pedestrianisation worthwhile, with lots of events, attractions to draw people in.

One pot pasta - linguine, spinach, tomatoes, garlic in a large silver pan

Want to post that I finally made Meghan’s one pot pasta recipe, it works, I didn’t have 7 cloves of garlic, so added onions & peppers. Love many she’s put out.

Great to see that Harry and Meghan are back doing humanitarian work, using their status to bring some sunshine and spotlight to those who benefit from it.

This is so sad, how our system works... the man is so rich already, and instead putting that money to work to help people, address real beneficial needs in the world. He is does this... Thank you as ever, Jim.

Props to Jim as ever for the story and reaction that followed.

Yet another case of having too much power because of money (billionaire class).

Our society needs to get that money distributed (tax) so as many as possible share and enjoy it.

It's the multiplier effect on a micro level; state injects $ into people's pockets and it's spent on whatever at local shops and a virtuous cycle spins.

This is a huge part of why large portions of the population dont trust this technology. These guys talk like we are units on a spreadsheet of the same value as their computer. They'll never have enough and everything they do is about extracting more from you and me, solely for their own gain.

Listen to this chap... I think he's serious, people are laughing though, as a society we have to be *very* careful with people who espouse viewpoints like this.

Oh, my dear, I don't know what's a matter with me, it will pass soon, I hope. Thank you for your response - so kind.

My cycle of keeping has broken down. Eating, sleeping, stress low, all currently gone to pot. So no parkrun today, no 50km this month or ten activities unless magic happens between now & month end.

Best news for me today is that darling person Julia Cumming is releasing her first solo album My Life, and there's a tour. Haven't seen her live since 2018 when with her band Sunflower Bean, such a treat.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.

Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.

Tell the government to end the contract!

How have we fashioned the world to be so horrible for the generations below us? Environment, AI and rampant inequality...

Well widespread societal discussions need to be had about the adoption of AI. Questions on the benefits to society, the costs etc. Hopefully a form of consensus and transparency is reached and things move from there.

I love technology. I've always loved space flight and computers, I loved electronics, and I was so excited for the future.

But everything good we made was grabbed up by a few shitheads who wanted to take what we all did for humanity and cash in. They didn't even make it, they just stole it.
