Last Notes npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid An interesting piece from today’s Byline Times, starting to dig up some of the well-established network of poison at Cambridge (and elsewhere, sadly). npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…exag 100% 👍 npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…gfcd Sorry, no takebacks, we already have too many dickhead grifters. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y Frustrating that the chair will never turn round and say ‘piss off, that was lies from start to finish’ npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y You were in the right and very patient. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y Were I being cynical, I’d say that most kids have been kept indoors or in a car rather than being outside or independent. Hardly a surprise they spend a lot of time on tv, gaming, and phones, are more introspective, problems with anxiety, etc. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y They just repeat words from their brief without understanding. So, pretty much a crap LLM, then. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y Sounds like Tugentwat. If only someone would fire a technical-sounding q back at him to watch his expertise suddenly vanish. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y A special constable, and apparently runs a reputation management firm, whatever that means. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y I stopped reading after “Mogg thinks”. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y Difficult to cover it in shit and set it on fire if it’s going by post. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Labour has too much baggage to succeed. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Speaking of raw energy, yes. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid Israel’s about to turn this temporary holdup into month- or year-long losses of oil and gas at source if the wells or offshore production facilities are damaged. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…mkqf Great video of sense-free random words that leaves you more confused afterwards. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…xult @nprofile…x9tq Well, quite. In one week, they’ve killed the spiritual leader of 200 million in the middle of Ramadan, murdered hundreds of children with a double-tap missile strike, are bombing the shit out of Lebanon, (as if the Lebanese didn’t have enough problems at the moment), and are playing ‘fool me twice’ with Kurds and others. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y Two Nazis with but one milkshake, how economical. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…e29a Only counts if there was a swimming pool outside for the splashdown. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…e29a Better start your search for a hero in the gym first, a broadsword is no mean thing to wave around at arm’s length. Think car battery … npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…e29a @nprofile…la7y Nah, whack her with some Beowulf, see if she identifies with Grendel’s mother. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq @nprofile…3yrk Simon & yourself might like this breakdown of demographic turnout for G&D. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq The only way folks would invest in a speculative takeover like that is if they were promised very quick returns, which means attack the stock price, buy it, dismember it. The only Promethean part of that is setting fire to the acquisition. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid Ah, there we go, Starmer just couldn’t resist joining the Blair club. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq As I said to someone else, my guess is that all the varied toplevel posts will now all be filled with IRGC colonels, who think alike and know each other. In effect, Trump has aided an IRGC coup. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Polanski is already the most adept and quick-thinking speaker in politics today. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y I can imagine the crowd all standing back if he did. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y This dangerous sectarianism looks like fun! npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Pure speculation, of course, but I would plump for people waiting until quite late (a) to be sure who was most likely to beat Reform, and (b) putting their trust in a novel party/candidate. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Not to jump on the post hoc bandwagon, but it would seem the large number of polled 'undecideds' went Green fairly late. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq It's just like listening to the DUP; We have Traditional Values, They have Dangerous Sectarianism. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Not a bad writeup, but the Grauniad still gives more room to nonexistent vapourware like W. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Stand by to see if Labour would rather split the vote and let Reform win, than follow the tactical voting advice it’s been so keen to cram down everyone else for years. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq @nprofile…utjz Just for a bit of fun with the tectonic plate metaphor, on a continental scale, plates do look like monoliths with friction and trouble confined to the edges. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq Does that contribute to the gender imbalance in a self-perpetuating way? Male financiers fund chairs that are biased to their US patriarchal outlook? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y Putting the lie in Natalie. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq I think finance stands out in lobbying as they have a sophisticated and well-financed multilevel approach to lobbying. Most other sectors (except oil) are much more traditional and limited. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…g4vn Not quite so straightforward - this was one stupid mistake alongside a lot of perfectly valid evidence. However, it will now be used to discredit everything and whitewash the violent and racist Maccabi fans, because that suits this govt. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…v2v2 @nprofile…la7y With you entirely on the money aspect. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y I’d have thought KCC had bigger problems .. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…la7y @nprofile…ejm2 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully not for long. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…x9tq I’d phrase that as people want more agency than more politics. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj Hmm. I think I detect the FT trying too hard to paint it as partial good news. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…pxcf That was an excellent episode discussing the wider area poetry and politics. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj There are very few journalists who could write original in-the-moment copy that really was a first draft of history when it came to the politics of power and violence. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…35ec Figured it can’t be Canterbury as it’s not covered in scaffolding … npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj Why would Ratcliffe close a very successful hostage which continues to bring in ransom demands? He’s only writing the value down and saddling it with debt anyway. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj Have you copyrighted “chaotic impoverishment”? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj Time for NICE to do its own rigorous study of which high-quality Indian generics are entirely safe to use, while an order of magnitude cheaper than their US versions. Especially those US drugs under predatory patents. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…35ec Offord has enough money in his private equity company to finance most of Scotland’s child benefit. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj Or you could argue that these are the new normal post-Brexit borrowing costs for a dodgy, isolated, economy. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj I’ll have to disagree with your thrust on this one. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…35ec Not forgetting that he decries that amount as chicken feed. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…35ec Kinnock is at least a part of the ‘Labour looking at Danish ideas’ fiasco. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj I wonder if this is again people talking past each other. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…8eua I was thinking of the Alan Turing Institute, which hosts Aria (not the older more Scottish-oriented Turing Institute) npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…8eua Are these the Turing Institute projects not aimed at defence? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…35ec Mahmood positioning herself as a right-wing Blue Labour arsehole to replace Starmer. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj There has to be a Grand Wage Theft Actually joke in there somewhere. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…2cwf On the subject of crappy driving … https://toot.wales/@HannahHowe/115502630037825229 npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…8eua I’m guessing you can probably access most academic-ish books via JSTOR etc.? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…8eua The only thing I can add is that it’s available on Kobo for £17, which is the cheapest I can find it that’s not on Amazon. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…35ec Poor crime: rob a bank npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj More subtly, China seems to be reaching out to faculty with nice job offers to teach in China for a year or so. Good for internationalism, not so good for resisting influence and maintaining independence. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj I think this has been highlighted before in terms of successful healthcare should spend lots on preventative wellness that if successful only shows the negative result of folks not getting ill and not appearing in the stats. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj @nprofile…chr7 One thing that article mentions which often gets missed is the maritime side, which I suspect we’ll see a lot more of as China connects its Belt initiatives in South America and Africa with importing their exports (and hoovering up most of their value). npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj I was idly thinking about this today. What about tariffs? Is the US aim to get some friendly spin on tariffs and trade diversion? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj @nprofile…t5kd I can see your point, but if you wanted to show the problems of even well-trained people locked in a system with incomplete information being railroaded into actions they don’t want to take, better off with War Games. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj “Talking with” or “Not actually barred from being an observer” ? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…a7r2 What I particularly thought was good there is Polanski has nailed speaking engagingly with not leaving pauses where editors can pick up a soundbite and bin the rest of the interview. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj Interesting. Could it be grossly oversimplified as QE for ordinary people, rather than banks? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj These are all good points. The problem is translating it into a Defra-funded plan that doesn’t go for pointless easy-to-count targets. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…8eua To paraphrase Indiana Jones, these belong in a library, where anyone can see and connect with them. Not squirreled away in a private collection. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…8eua Ouch. That’s a new mental shorthand for intense energy density. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hzyj I don’t know if you noticed Tony Yates’ piece in the FT (ridiculously long link) ; npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz Add up all the police and CPS hours wasted on anti-Palestine bullshit that could have gone to dv & abh cases. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz I haven’t seen the details of this, is it aimed primarily at non-green steel, is it aimed at China but they can’t say so? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz In a more sensible world, National Grid would be firehosing money onto all of these options, because sizeable storage is the essential missing component for the future generation and transmission system. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…fa4k Issues like these usually reveal more about individual palaeontologists’ favourite explanations more than the actual taxa. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz I suppose this hearks back to the distribution of empty houses and flats. You could squat in every empty house in London and not make inroads into the problem. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x If only there was some way of putting that £2 billion towards PIP assessments. Baffles this govt for sure. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x What a great choice, Raytheon or Elbit. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz To oversimplify things, imo, empty houses in the northeast don’t help housing needs in the southeast, and it’s a piecemeal approach at best. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz As a thought, here’s something perhaps more deserving of excessive police overtime. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz I’d say there’s a fairly good correlation with metals and minerals that the UAE would like to be the regional broker for. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…hw9f @nprofile…rh2x Police beating up kids of southern English Tory voters, or charging Tory pensioners more than the rates, cut through in a way that pavement auctions in Scotland or beating up miners never could. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x Either Starmer has had a ringside seat to all the Gaza war crimes, right back to murdering the World Central Kitchen staff last year, or he’s keeping himself out of the loop for deniability. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz Why wait for IHT, where the large estates are already well-protected. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz I’ll get back on my usual soapbox: npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…3djd Looks like the police think it more important to deploy officers against us, than against racist thugs. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…fqq6 @nprofile…rh2x These are far beyond the ability of any local pompiers to control. Evacuation now, and hopefully rapid military response from Paris. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x I doubt this will help convince the universities to disinvest, which is more significant than moments of bad publicity. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x Oh, right. I suppose attacking the judiciary with ‘enemies of the people’, or dismantling the courts, or destroying legal aid, were just jolly Tory japes about the criminal justice system then. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…jcxa I’d add walkers casually going through an avalanche area and posing on the boulders thrown around by the last avalanche. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz Arguably the biggest value of the huge military spending of the 50s & 60s was the declassification of much of the technological development, so it could flow out into the wider economy, usually without onerous patent restrictions. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x Particularly worrying for people if the high temps stay around overnight and the next day and so on. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…rh2x No need. I’ll take a bet every part has been tracked in the system since it was made, right down to what shelf it’s sitting on. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…5n8f I’d just pick out one of the later figures, $330 billion *annual* sectoral spend for maybe $18 billion or less *revenue*, not profit. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz I wonder if, like Sue Gray, their preplanning ran into Starmer’s boys’ club and was tossed as girly crap? npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz Not to be glib, but this is somewhere to spend money on the staff, not on the capital building programmes beloved of management. npub1w0xm4r0kvk2gwkwlpt2qseyxvc8x4f9tyja49jv8k2je5hu4tjtslz7pwt BashStKid @nprofile…60lz If those women were Mariana Mazzucato, or Kate Raworth, or Ingrid Robeyns, or a number of others, great.
