Tomorrow the UK goes to the polls. If you've not been swayed & aren't a tribal voter voting for your 'team' no matter what they say or do visit voteforpolicies.org.uk. They've split the manifestos up into 16 issues, you can choose to answer as many or as few as you like, each takes ~1-3 min.

This wont be news to anyone but… …As of May, we’re at 35,562 deaths in Gaza That’s 82% of The Blitz (51% all UK civilian casualties during WW2) and rising 1/3 of these are children Israel’s losses numbered 1478 …it shouldn’t just numbers but no moral conception of war justifies this imbalance

I'd recommend voteforpolicies.org.uk too. You can choose to only answer a subset of topics or the whole range & it'll spit out a pie chart showing whose policies you most align with.
Except for that one time I got an even split for 1st :)

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

Hardly far right, but right of the LibDems, certainly.

They're in administration & the thought of a non Australian foreign entity buying them sent the Tories in to such paroxysms that they passed emergency legislation blocking the sale. Thus extending administration & harming their business even more.

That does explain why podcasts became so popular, so much of the world just hasn't had the same access. There's something to be said for just turning the radio on & not knowing what you're going to hear.

Before the debate BBC Radio had underscored clips of Tuesday's ITV debate to an instrumental of Dance Monkey. They know what they're doing.

Like Nina Conti, Dianne studied under Ken Campbell - she talked to Alexi Sayle on his podcast about it. She's such a massive talent, I hope we get to see her being inspiringly silly for decades. Mandy seems to have become motivated to work this series, looking forward to her brickie & financier.

The GIs had been briefed on the differences & expected behaviour in a pamphlet called Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain & its accompanying film A Guide to Britain... presented by The Riddler. The most jarring section is the bit about the lack of segregation on trains.

Wow, they need to start charging for the power used to generate GPT responses, all the more galling as the best you'll get it the average of everything it has ingested.

Voting, if you aren't just voting for your 'team', is always a compromise. I've found the Vote For Policies site incredibly useful after I looked up how futile a 'none of the above' attempt was in UK elections.

To clarify; Generative AI is the average of all things fed in to it, a probability database summing up the likeliness of the next step in the chain. Brown is the colour produced when all the colours are mixed together, it is the colour of the mud & sand a, mixture of all that fell or washed ashore.

This just made me wonder how your parties got their misaligned colours. Was it this? Or did this follow established convention?

Yes, knowing the other stories would, hopefully, clarify some aspects of this. Though the accounts of all the parties involved would need to be taken with a pinch of salt. It's clear a vaping teen has created significant waves with their cover story.

From what I've read so far it looks like the definition of the concept depends on whether you follow the Huertas or Chait line. Ultimately, to me, it's as clear as mud, another political theory to throw on the pile & waste productive time arguing over. Moving on...

It has been played as 'the right to speak without consequence' which is not the same as 'free speech'. Your opinions may not be against the law, but they are also not above scrutiny. Say what you like but don't expect all of it to be mutely accepted, you're not dictating a letter.

There are only two outcomes from this butchery; thousands of dead civilians & more radicalised people to continue this futile waste of lives for decades more.

Do you mean he shouldn't be the Democratic nominee, or that he should lose the election? If it's the latter then it's very unlikely a 3rd party candidate will win. I don't know why more people can't just say that what Hamas & the IDF is doing is horrific, the only people paying are civilians.

You'll lose so much more if you elect the other guy, he cares only for himself. That doesn't mean the case for Biden is strong, but at least his concerns extend beyond the end of his nose.

Problem is, he's not dumber than dirt, more likely he's neurodivergent & narcissistic. He's either cleared out anyone around him who isn't a Yes Man, or no one around him'll contradict him for fear of being strung up. Either way he's in a powerful confirmation bubble he can't tolerate being pricked
