Welsh, Social Ecology and Jineology enjoyer, and computer programmer.
so they can launder money between the statesmen and the middle managers that will have all made conveniently-timed investments into Elon’s holdings a few hours before the news leaked.
fr though maybe they can benefit from some of the server farms and not have to bother touching grok beyond token integrations into some of the managerial workflows that no one cares about anyway
first space program run by people who think they need to encase the rocket in lead to help it break through the glass dome covering earth
And then an AI to submit a job application for the AI that will do the job for 8 months before a real human logs in and wonders what the new hire got up to.
Yup.
They sell these tools by saying they’ll make the jobs of graphic designers/artists (and others) easier,
realise they’re now paying for that worker AND an AI subscription and fire the former because neoliberal business economics is terminally short-sighted,
they realise that quality has plummetted for a marginal increase in productivity at best.
Quietly reopen the job post and maybe save some money by offering a shittier salary
Surprisingly little. I’ve found that since the mat’s surface area and air gaps help things dry faster, you get less of that slimy soap runoff that you find in, say, a soap dish.
As for the other stuff, again it seems that the faster drying helps mitigate a lot of the grim compared to just sitting on the windowsill where water would accumulate around the bases via surface tension and dry slower. My main concern in getting one of these mats was the bottoms of the bottles getting mouldy or gross and needing to be cleaned.
I assume it will get grubby, we’ve not had this one long, but they’re food safe rubber/silicone by design so easily washed by hand.

lmao come on
AI really rots your brain huh? no one thought to even bother looking at the graphic before posting?
Trump was right. defund the UN.

famously stoic against the abuses of women and children, the country that proudly works as the eastern flank of Israel’s air defence network.
lmao scrolling through the poster until you’re met with israeli flags instead of italian ones is so goofy. not even hiding it
Revolution is scary and impractical so it makes sense that much of the western left is so willing to constantly throw itself behind even hypothetical movements.
Not hating on OP, moreso folks like the SWP that were sidelined from involvement with this potential party and are still trying to act like the trotskyists will be able to seize Whitehall through an act of parliament.
It isnt registered legally. Corbyn was recently a speaker at the Durham Miner’s Gala and didn’t utter a word about it. Oh, and it already has wreckers leaking messages to the press.
Corbs is apparently pissed off at Zarah Sultana for announcing it and was telling her to take the post down. Also seems to he pissed off that Zarah said shit about it being a co-leader syatem when he hasn’t agreed to it. Depending on who you ask it’s either coz Corbyn doesn’t like co-leader systems or coz he wants to run the show himself.
I’m gonna vote for anything that isnt fash anyway, but I think this stuff is too early to call because there’s a lot of ratfucking and liberalism that will need to be addressed. The insistence on forming a party against the Greens seems like a big risk too. Our FPTP system is so fucked that they’ll need well over half the vote to have a good chance at forming a cohesive govt. And even then, I’m not sure if the ratfucking would stop.
Nothing beyond further civil strife across the Israeli public, many of whom would be fine with genocide but NOT fine with conceding the state to Bloody Benjamin.
If the military are complaining now, imagine how that would be when amplified by the idea of escalating in Lebanon or Syria, on top of the Haredi issue. Eventually the military will set a boundary (politically or otherwise) that will lead to such a govt to collapse.
It’s not just him implicated in the failures of October 7 2023, nor the disastrous war in Gaza and Lebanon that has turned thousands of Israeli soldiers into fertilizer, let alone those permanently disabled who live to tell the stories of incompetence across the whole system. And that was before they tried to fix it with “just one more war” with their only peer rival in West Asia.
Katz, Smoritch, Gvir, Levi, and the rest who I needn’t bring their ghoulish names to my consciousness: They are more afraid than ever. They feel a noose, imagined or otherwise, tightening as each escalation and maneuvre leaves them 30 seconds to midnight.
They’re making mistakes, they’re exposing strategic weaknesses, and they’re relying on luck to survive this crisis. But they have to be lucky every day; the resistance axis only has to be lucky once.
Imagine if a Labour mp, even a NATO-obsessed cabinet minister like Lammy, were to take a trip to Moscow on their own dime for a strictly diplomatic mission to make demands from Putin?
Bonus info for UK comrades who wanna do the same:
✅ Anyone can request
✅ Usually a fast process (max 2 mo.)
✅ Well documented list of reasons employer could deny
✅ Can request other forms of working adjustments (ie. adjusting shifts to account for school run)
✅ Don’t need much “evidence”. I’ve been advised to use feeling language in my meeting as employer cannot deny this. YMMV
❎ Easier for employer to deny
❎ Can only make 2 requests per year
❎ Scoped to changes of where and when you work, generally.
✅ Very hard for employer to reject legally
✅ Can request a wider range of adjustments, such as equipment, software, accessible access to premises.
✅ Lots of unions have experienced reps who can guide you through the process.
✅ Employers dont want to go through this process. It’s lots of effort and even costly to fight so you may find them happy to agree early on.
✅ Escalation routes. You can take a belligerent employer to tribunal should they give you trouble or refuse your requests. This isn’t ideal but your union rep can advise you.
❎ Scoped to disabled people and carers as defined in the Equality Act 2010. Mental health and sexual characteristics (ie. trans) may be considered on certain issues too, though.
❎ Can be expensive. My colleague’s wife had to go private for the necessary notes and cost her hundreds.
❎ More complex. You need lots of evidence, and that means more time and stress. However, union reps can guide you through this and know the law.
!!! I AM NOT A UNION REP. I AM NOT TRAINED IN UNION OR EMPLOYMENT LAW. SEEK UNION ADVICE BEFORE TAKING ACTION !!!
IWW.org.uk has flexible rates (from £1 up depending on income) and accepts workers in any industry, and has a radical anti-capitalist program. You may wish to join a different union instead - Do some research!
Realistically, in any scenario that the USSR continued West (ie. operation unthinkable but reversed) the US would have just dropped another nuke… and another nuke… and another nuke… until they won.
Russia had no strategic bombers, very rudimentary (basically zero) nuclear technology, and a very minor navy. The US would have happily deployed more nukes until one hit them back; they only started talking about peace after the Soviets surprised the world with their rapid nuclear weapons program in 1949. Even then, that’s 4 years of a head start for American nukes.
Yeah but then the next Hezb leader signed a deal that let Israel and the UN stroll cock-to-hand from the Litani-southwards, gleefully flattening villages, outposts, and other military infrastructure as they went.
The Lebanese military would fold faster than the Iraqi army did in Mosul, and Hezbollah is then expected to maintain a Southern front stuffed full of UN mercenaries and with massively degraded defenses.
Thats the doomer perspective, and Im sure there will be a historic defense from the mujahideen of Lebanon, but it doesnt feel like the odds are better than in 2024.
I mean there’s definitely going to be a radicalising effect by its very nature but I wouldnt put too much thought into reddit being any form of accurate barometer for liberal thirst for revolution
Me too! I really want lots of little doohickeys and whatchamajigs, everything has a story even the mundane stuff :)
