On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic embarked on its maiden voyage, sailing from Southampton to New York. Four days later the luxury liner struck an iceberg. and early the next day it sank, killing some 1,500 people. The tragedy captured the world's imagination and made the Titanic an enduring legend.

lan Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - feature a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to caus chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏

LETS DO THIS!

The next time you see someone enjoying something, that isn't hurting anyone, that's not your cup of tea instead of saying something negative train yourself to think to yourself "I'm glad they are happy" and carry on with your life.

This hasn’t aged well… and still angers me!

As a life long Christian I have neither been abused nor abused anyone.
There are bad people any organisation, what about child abuse and youth sports?

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

There were some really good schemes in Glasgow where they mixed alternate streets social housing and private housing. It stopped a lot of the ‘social issues’ associated with large social housing developments

10 years ago I was working on a council run housing development of 350 homes… in those 10 years they have built less than 20 of them. Too much red tape, within councils. They just aren’t commercial enough.

Unfortunately, without a major shake up of the way local authorities access funding and operate, it isn’t this easy.

The biggest problem with councils building housing they don’t have the infrastructure to design them or project manage them. Or the free cash to spend on a project of the size required

One is a Labour M.P. who thought it right to resign over a mobile phone fraud charge from 2013.

The other is a Labour M.P. who got caught looking at porn and lied about it in the H.O.C. AND DID NOT RESIGN.

THE RIGHT WING PRESS HOUNDED ONE AND PROTECTED THE OTHER.

SEE HOW IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Euphemism ?

Where it doesn’t work is… I work hard, my boss looks good, gets a big bonus, keeps it all for himself, and don’t get rewarded, and get demoralised and stop trying or go work somewhere else!

On a small scale it works… I work hard… my department makes loads of money… my managing director is happy… my boss gets a big bonus, some of which he passes on to me, I’m inspired to work harder… and continue to make more money for my MD and make my boss look good

For exactly the reason I said. Pure greed, and short sightedness.
Those in power see the ‘little people’ as footsteps to climb up, and not what they are… a means of lifting yourself higher.

Trickle down economics works, with the right ethics.
It is greed that stops it working!

It’s 5:30 actually 😢

What’s a woke filling? 🤷🏼‍♂️
