Tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the DC mid air collision by Thomas Schaller on X: “An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called "buyouts" and other attacks on federal employees won't help. Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEl or Biden. 08:06 • 1/29/25 • 1.4M Views”

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone.

Or on a plaque in every ATC tower.

Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode.

Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American.

Or on a stamp.

Or maybe currency.

Something.

Ever have that terrible, sinking feeling?

Since Elizabethan times the island ,Britannia, ruled the waves because of it's navy.

2 things:

2. Bro was making sensual eye contact with the cameras EVERY CHANCE he got. He knows what's up 😂

Never forget that Rachel Reeves - who has just announced another destructive round of austerity cutbacks, cynically rebranded as "efficiency savings" - is a banker

Another former Tory MP has defected to the Reform Party after previously claiming to be offered money to do so.

Back in July they said they “tried to bribe me with an £80,000 job”.

Bribery has no place in our politics. This needs to be investigated.

Yes Starmer and co, get some balls. The real Labour grass roots and most people believe in democracy. Deny us at your peril.

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

In 2023, California enacted a law requiring fast food restaurants with more than 60 locations to pay workers a minimum of $20 per hour. More than 700,000 people work in California's fast food industry.

Almost immediately, Americans were told the law would devastate California's fast food industry.

U.K. HE has been fcuked by the visa change introduced by the Tories. But far worse is that a Labour govt hasn’t reversed it. Instead it sits back and watches UK universities go to the wall. They are a disgrace.They say they want to boost growth but do everything possible to cause decline not growth.

MPs back landmark assisted dying bill to give some terminally ill people the right to end their lives – as it happened Terminally ill adults in England and Wales with less than six months to live will be given right to die under proposed law

I've got to say I'm delighted by our parliament having a mature debate about something - it feels like it's been ages. This is a very serious subject and it was treated as such.

What strikes me on a full reading of this paper is that there is a UK-EU agenda for which UK Ministers can be making an active public case.

Actually so could EU politicians.

That this isn't happening is recent history, but also a lot to do with European politics. Populists are loud, others timid.

Hello to the Bluesky community!

We're trundling on in with an announcement; the Steam Autumn Sale starts next Wednesday, November 27th with deals on games of all types - from games that are blue, to games that are about skies, and everything in between.

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.

Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

Oh, did you think I forgot ‘66?

Amid the Media Noise About 'Cronyism', Keir Starmer Is Quietly Reforming Political Standards for the Better The spectre of Boris Johnson's assault on standards in public life is slowly retreating, argues Josiah Mortimer

Keir Starmer has quietly published his new Ministerial Code, setting out the standards required of Government ministers for their conduct and behaviour.

Any rule-changes have a significant bearing on what happens in the wake of a political scandal (and hopefully prevent some too), so it matters.
