Kepler-186

Person of Interest 7.5/10 Rewatching this series. It’s a bit of a slog due to the number of episodes, but the story arcs are compelling especially the season 1-3 dodgy cops, gangsters, then the competing AIs, and shadowy government agencies. Sarah Shahi is very watchable too, as is Amy Acker.

An image and an article to go with it. Didn’t know any other threads for it. https://beyondthelastman.com/2021/04/14/alexandr-zavarov-the-ukrainian-platini/

Blew the marketing budget on this

Some great stuff on this thread. I’ll recommend this book. An account by an RAF pilot of the disastrous Battle of France in 1940. It’s a gripping read/listen. His family discovered his writings after his death, and decided to publish. https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/309/309187/six-weeks-of-blenheim-summer/9781405936743.html

New Labour Resistance: Blairites Strike Back

David Simon goes all Western District Way on Morgan. You love to see it. Worth reading the back and forth.

Don’t spend much time on footy Twitter as it’s worse than politics. Two Tribes is a decent read. Some great County Road FC shouts in the replies. Used to think would be better for the city if they were second, and we were first. Not any more.

What a goal, striker’s goal.

Socially liberal Thatcherism. Labour are shite, too!

Got a link to the 99.9% claim? Have you been asked have you thought about suicide by a “health care professional” employed by an outsourcer like ATOS or Capita. As has been said, one is too many. Did you read the article of the DWP that prompted this thread to get bumped today? There’s also tons of anecdotal evidence about people being harassed on their death beds. No point loving liberty, democracy and equality if in government you endorse policies that are discriminatory on the poor and disabled. Lib Dem’s obviously knew it was common practice and used it as a bargaining chip for plassy bags, instead of saying let’s jail a few bankers for the 2008 crash. Priorities.

I’m sure that’s of great consolation to the people sanctioned before their deaths.

Pretty pointless if you’re enabling extreme right wing economic ideology with a load of posh boys that has led to even higher levels of inequality, deprivation, crime, and corruption. My point is no one remembers the nice things LDs achieved in coalition because as a poster pointed out, for most people it’s the headlines, quick scan read, and then the goal posts have moved the next day. A Lib Dem candidate I met actually repeated May’s “there’s no magic money tree” statement. Plenty of money around to pay your mates in a pandemic, or to build up the military. The thread got bumped because of the article about the DWP. Who do we believe? The report about the 120,00 austerity linked deaths from the UN or the Tories?

Seems an appropriate place to put this.

Explain it to me. 5 years of power and that and tuition fees are what Lib Dems are remembered for.

Some great stuff on Pinterest.
