That’s about 10% of the population of voting age in the state. Parts of the US are beginning to look like a banana republic.

Christine Burns MBE 🏳️⚧️📚⧖ (christineburns@mastodon.green)'s status on Tuesday, 10-Sep-2024 05:44:59 JST Christine Burns MBE 🏳️⚧️📚⧖ If Labour had any sense they would’ve got Ed Miliband to make a move to immediately reform the electricity market so that wholesale prices aren’t largely determined by the price of gas fired generation. A bold but long overdue move would potentially halve the domestic unit rate, with an immediate win for inflation, and render the whole question of the winter payment moot. That would’ve been smart joined up strategy benefitting everyone. Doesn’t look like they’re capable of that.

The Shetland Isles have been connected to mainland Britain’s grid for the first time and this coincides with the switch-on of a 443MW onshore wind farm there. As the most northerly land in the UK (next stop: The Faroes and then Iceland) Shetland is ideally placed to get very high utilisation from its new turbines.

I’m not sure I’ve seen definite-enough signs yet but I live in hope. It’s all down to what brings in the most eyeballs and, till now, it has appeared that they think reporting the end of the democracy they depend on is the most profitable move.

Christine Burns MBE 🏳️⚧️📚⧖ (christineburns@mastodon.green)'s status on Thursday, 22-Aug-2024 17:29:25 JST Christine Burns MBE 🏳️⚧️📚⧖ I see that people are shocked and dismayed as they learn they’ll need a £6 visa and have their fingerprints taken and face scanned to enter the EU mainland (just like when you visit the US or Canada or many other countries). People who voted to ‘control the UK’s borders’ dismayed as the EU is controlling its borders (and they’re on the outside). Best bit is that British MEPs helped design and vote for the new arrangements before we Brexited.

A bit of misleading nonsense here from the Guardian. I’m no flag waver for Tesla but it is sloppy editorial to publish a piece like this without fact checking. The trees cleared for the Tesla Gigafactory at Grünheide were a managed monoculture planted for eventual harvesting.

Products get a very late and cursory mention. As I worked in the document and content management spheres when all the hype started up I can only say I never came across a client who wanted to try managing information assets with a probability engine. It’s a bit like AI hype today. HP really fell for it.

They go beyond “weird”. What is the matter with them? I mean, I get it they’re looking to confuse people and rile them up but there was something inside them to begin with that led them to think lying in ever more unhinged ways about trans people would win votes.

But buying up politicians and seeking to topple democracies mean that maybe it’s time they received a sharp reminder of who was tolerating their morbid acquisitive urges.

And, in quiet moments, I interrogate my part, as a Principal Consultant for a very large international IT services company in the mid nineties, cheerleading for the fabulous future we were going to have with the sum of human knowledge freely on tap. I made the gross error of assuming people were good and kind and honest, like me.

Patients will not start being recruited Into the first clinical trial to examine the effects of puberty blocking drugs until early next year, months later than had been planned, NHS England has admitted.
