Still can't get my top end NVIDIA Grace Hoppers to do a 'shutdown -r now' properly.

To put it another way, if you're drowning shouting for help is valid and a good idea. If you're on dry ground looking for the nearest life preserver and calling 999 is the better plan. We're the ones on dry ground and the ones who should be doing better.

I think in this case "don't go quietly while the government turns on you" is a perfectly well formulated and more than adequate idea in the circumstances where someone is trying to be listened to and get people on side and get them to help fix things.

Keine EntschΓ€digung: Flugzeug in Linz gepfΓ€ndet Eine nicht geleistete EntschΓ€digungszahlung der irischen Billigfluggesellschaft Ryanair an eine Frau hat auf dem Linzer Flughafen nun eine kuriose Konsequenz nach sich gezogen. Ein Exekutor brachte in...

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

Also don't *ever* leave it to a minority to come up with the way to protect themselves from bad government. They're a minority and in a democracy we all need to stand up and fix things and not take second best.

Do you think suggesting someone is "just screaming to be screaming" is an appropriate way to talk to them when they're in a persecuted minority whose liberties and care are being stripped away to the point of people dying?

Cos I think it really isn't ok.

Honest lads, yer killing trans kids, working for the bosses, Privitising cities, you basically just done a genocide, almost killed hunger strikers and turned folks nans into terrorists. Let it die.
They stole it and killed it.
it's like poison now.
Move on.
Do new things.

The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

When will people get that this isn't about minor inconveniences like slightly higher taxes or fuel costs? For some people it's existential.

It's pretty disgusting that women are forced to publicly disclose being sexually assaulted or raped in order to be taken seriously by their peers.

Even having seen this coming from a decade back and fighting tooth and nail against it every step of the way, I find myself utterly gobsmacked at just how BRAZENLY the British government is now moving to blanket OUTLAW and CRIMINALIZE the existence of trans kids. Utterly genocidal intent.

Green win shows progressive voters are now voting against Labour as well as Reform Gorton and Denton byelection shatters Labour strategy of neglecting its core base while focusing on Reform defectors

I generally assume that political parties know what their constituencies think better than the rest of us do: they spend so much money on polling and focus groups.

But I would be *amazed* if they understood how viscerally they are loathed by young progressives for pushing trans people under a bus.

Going to be totally real, I don’t even expect, were the greens to get into power, for it to be perfect etc etc or mistakes not to be made, but what astounds me is how melts just don’t understand that for many what’s happening now means we are willing to give something new a try because maybe

Thirty-two experts find no evidence ADHD is being overdiagnosed

I’m very sorry to any friends or family he had. I’m frankly glad he got some kind of support towards the end.

Man dies outside UK's first drug consumption room in Glasgow Police sealed off the entrance to The Thistle on Hunter Street on Sunday morning, and said the death was not believed to be suspicious.

This headline is a take. Literally. There’s no indication of how many more, or how many fewer people would have died without this facility. The fact it’s been open over a year with only one death to a very unhealthy and vulnerable group might say something.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
