www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Who will decide an unquestionable right as if by divine authority? I mean , the three god given rights in the Declaration of Independence - the right to life , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness- are open to interpretation and project 25 😱

Hell no. Obviously depending on the outcome , it takes me a full 24 hours to feel grounded. And it’s with a great sense of relief that I am no longer working through the first stage of grief.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

As someone who suffers from migraines on occasion including auras it was fascinating to read this research in mice suggesting that changes in brain activity alter cerebrospinal fluid proteome that can then trigger nerve receptors and migraine. I also never appreciated what aura was! 🧪

A nice progressive move from Labour: apparently James Timpson is being given a peerage and made prisons minister. For non UK folk, his high street chain of key cutting and shoe repair shops has a policy of employing ex-convicts giving them decent jobs to avoid reoffending. It works.

Rehabilitation is supposed to be at the core of the UK prison system ,but alongside everything else that has been left to rot it has failed to deal with educational and vocational needs to help on the outside. A crying shame as actively employing former prisoners has reduced reoffending. Nice move.

I guess that’s pretty explicable,as in the early years the ID is pretty dominant, emotional intelligence is developing, and the child will mirror their carer. If the carer is stuck in their latency stage, they will struggle to understand healthy relationships and communication skills.Just a theory😬

www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/0... The final scenario is of a gradual depletion of trust in a Tory party that foisted on the UK unprecedented social and economic inequalities for decades accelerated by Brexit. Arguably their Brexit legacy is the last straw for both sides of the divide. Gotta go.

Um, it would be quite a moment if Braverman lost her seat. Highly unlikely she has a large majority of pale pasty, boomers whose core values are the eradication of multiculturalism and return to true British identity ( an incredibly flexible concept)! and they make no apology for it.

Suella Braverman has just attacked…the Conservatives…for…racism. I’ll just let that sink in. She says Sunak’s attacks on racist views expressed by Reform candidates has less force because the Tories kept Frank Hester’s millions. “Remarks about hating black women were glossed over.”
