Apologies for reduced interaction lately - due to ill health. _ _ _ In life, possessions are not what is important. Friendships and family are. Shared experiences are.

Shows people still aren't taking climate change seriously enough. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1shf…etna Hold npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 i suspect the Reform vote is less about enthusiasm for Farage, and more about disillusioned Tory voters not able to bring themselves to vote Labour (or any other left party). Labour's gains are marginal, with most Tory votes leaking to reform. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 so far 4 hold for labour and one win but the big takeaway is that areas with labour wins can count faster than areas where tories might still win - see, i said tories were lousy with numbers npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub12ca…5r4g someone's going to put a stake through where a normal person's heart would be? npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1gt9…5mtl i don't accept the premise that immigration is a problem in need of a solution npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1g0t…tvm4 not far ahead of when Cameron first came to power - 15 years completely wasted by a bunch of crooked incompetents npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 I wish as much money as is being invested in Artificial Intelligence was being put into fostering and promoting human intelligence... npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1h52…r6nr Does this mean that Biden could now order the execution of Trump appointees on the Supreme Court? npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1lzz…jhl3 I'm confused.

If this is how people treat animals, it still means they are not people I want to know. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1c76…dpj7 I’m not sure I’d call 'devising new ways to rob the treasury' a ‘clear plan’… npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 Trump's own words in 2016: President under felony indictment would create 'constitutional crisis' https://youtu.be/gEiTA3ALlhw?si=q8ePkUp-vdX7Igiz npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub132h…f594 I haven't voted for any conservative austerity party in the past, I'm not going to start now, just because they are hiding behind a different name. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1d2a…f33w To be fair, this government have never tried to run the country. It would distract them too much from stealing public money. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1pu6…u9fd It's getting tiresome living in a country run by criminals npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1mmf…eknq It's not really a surprise - most politicians seem to believe they are above national law, so expected that they also believe they are above international law npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub132h…f594 there was a time this would have resulted in a firing and possibly arrest npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub15pq…nghj Believe me, I've never claimed they are smart - quite the opposite. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub15pq…nghj As if those who can afford to haven't already built up a degree of 'resilience' to cope with the sheer incompetence and mismanagement of... well everything... by this Conservative government... npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1044…al48 Politicians have long loved the phrase 'economical with the truth' to avoid admitting they have lied. I prefer 'uneconomical with the lies'. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1hq2…07w7 I used to follow Dr Patterson on the other site - a great addition npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @[email protected] of people that student protestors have been party to killing: 0 Number of people that the President has been party to killing: 35,000+ And who's being arrested? npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 For those saying "not voting for Biden IS a vote for Trump", consider this: It is NOT the fault of people that cannot bring themselves to vote for Biden. The fault lies with Biden. He prefers to denigrate his own citizens & endorse violence & legal action against those who cannot support a genocide, so that he can continue to aid in the slaughter of innocent people. If you are unhappy with this situation, pressure your local Democrats, & Biden, not the people who actually hold to their values. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1hq2…07w7 Another reason not to vote Labour npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 The UK Parliament voted to reject an amendment to the environment bill to make water companies reduce raw sewage dumps. In another vote, 300 MPs voted to permit raw sewage dumps in UK’s rivers & coastlines for at least the next 15 years. 75% of UK rivers now pose a risk to human health. No company should be making a profit by evading the cost of the environmental damage that it causes.

Thanks Joe. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub12ks…cwu4 Karma here as Trump becomes what he mocked. https://files.mstdn.party/media_attachments/files/112/428/088/307/293/123/original/42cc080832ecd701.jpg npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1kuh…m595 The irony of them not seeing (or at least not having the honesty to acknowledge) that the ban itself is political npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 On platforms like Mastodon it is all too easy to sometimes feel like you are shouting into the void, or only reaching already like-minded people. I just want to say this is not true. I find Mastodon to be an invaluable source for learning about issues & current events that I might otherwise have missed. It is also a good place to be reminded that not everyone has lost their humanity in these callous times. The strength of the human spirit, & the compassion, is on view here every single day. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 Increase Tax Threshold and State Pension for Pensioners to Living Wage Amount (UK) change.org Please sign this petition urging an increase in both tax thresholds for pensions & state pensions themselves. According to Age UK (2019), nearly 2 million older people are struggling financially with over a million considered poor by official standards. The state pension is woefully inadequate & insulting considering the years of hard work these individuals have put in. https://chng.it/TbtxHXJfKJ npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 Just want to say, I love the 'translate' feature on Mastodon npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1ett…w2kh you got the word 'former' in the wrong place: Natalie Elphicke, extreme right wing and repugnant former Tory MP npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1nu9…l6r5 I'm confused. So airstrikes would be acceptable, carpet bombing Rafah? Would that be respecting humanitarian law? npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub12jv…gf8c I would have boycotted Eurovision, but then i never watch it anyway... npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 Hmmm... https://files.mstdn.party/media_attachments/files/112/423/869/826/994/187/original/87fd1a52d055f575.jpg npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 World's Apart with Lyrics Bruce Springssteen https://youtu.be/L78vOOyeLcg?si=giG825ndMN90HEmM npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 iTunes UK https://files.mstdn.party/media_attachments/files/112/423/733/383/598/282/original/1f3ccb74850f6aee.png npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1s8n…susg And of course, if she (and he) don't like it, we are not going to complain if he quits :) npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 AI is reliant on the input of information at every level. From how the learning model is programmed to input data, and therefore reliant on both the ability and motives of the programmer(s), to the information from which it learns. And here is the problematic part - the growth of AI is occurring at a time when available information for AI learning is most biased by the humans that created that information. All human weakness, prejudice and irrationality informs the available information. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 BIden has chosen to put his interest in Israel's objectives above the needs of the people at home, including himself. It appears nothing will deter him, even if it risks handing the country to Trump. And, if it does result in Trump winning, even if Israel achieve their objective BIden will have gained nothing, because he and his party will be out of power and no longer benefit from whatever it is he hopes to gain by his support of Israel. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1g0t…tvm4 I imagine the government also has an interest in trying to reduce the black economy. And separately, I don't imagine I'll be tipping the driver for my grocery deliveries via debit card. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1nu9…l6r5 Of course, the other option is for other participants to refuse to perform alongside Israel, but they won't. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 Democracy in America has now become a limited choice between Fascist One, and Fascist Two. The same is now happening in the UK. The Right and the wealthy are no longer interested in pretending we have democracy. They grew tired of us being able to voice our opinions. And they stopped listening even longer before that. So, they just took over the main parties of Left and Right, maintaining the pantomime a little longer. Soon, that will go to. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1mmf…eknq I guess Burns didn't get the memo, ‘we want them all dead’. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1rmx…ne96 Starmer isn't even trying to hide the Tory party takeover of Labour anymore npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1nu9…l6r5 The fact that he thinks being a backbencher at the time makes a difference to the sincerity or believability of his words tells us all we need to know about the value of anything he says. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1lgd…weyh And the unspoken part: “But Palestinians do not have these rights, especially the right to walk *anywhere* without fear of being attacked” - the disconnect from reality is horrific. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 Majority in U.S. Now Disapprove of Israeli Action in Gaza Approval has dropped from 50% to 36% since November by Jeffrey M.

Shows how far Labour has moved away from labour for any Tories to feel at home there. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub184f…gpf3 Thank you for your words.

One final thought. Most of us have problems in our individual lives, but tonight I will be going to sleep without wondering whether I will hear bombs raining down around me as I try to get to sleep. It's easy to forget how fortunate most of us are. npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1mmf…eknq If a government is not willing to listen to (let alone act on) dissenting opinions, then you do not live in a democracy npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 @npub1g0t…tvm4 who could have seen that coming? (apart from all of us not blinded by ideology) npub1c750jlf3pw6l27t0sane09wvd4akxquc9tjp92pn5gmq6lcy8vwq9hrwvr SufferForMe 🆘 If you shoot a defenceless person standing in front of you, it’s murder.
