Good luck with the inserts then and you have my condolences

I switched to barefoot shoes which work really well for my specific knee pains and instep. But I remember the issues of the inserts for years

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

“the thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein [an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]

INDEPENDENT Voices Nigel Farage: Why you should vote for Brexit this Thursday I believe we're big enough and good enough to govern our own country. If we Remain, we'll get swept up into a United States of Europe Nigel Farage Monday 20 June 2016 10:53 BST

INDEPENDENT Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world 'better, safer place' 03:08 Sophie Thompson Saturday 09 November 2024 15:56 GMT Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world better, safer place' Nigel Farage has insisted Donald Trump becoming president for a belated second term will help make the world a "better, safer place". The Reform UK leader has been vocal of his friendship with Trump, and even received a shoutout from the Republican during a recent rally. This weekend, Reform UK are having a conference in Exeter, where Mr Farage remarked: "We can say with some confidence that 'woke' just died in America. "Trump being there makes the world a better, safer place."

BADLY WRONG about Brexit.
It’s cost the UK economy alone circa £130bn.

BADLY WRONG about Trump.
Attacked more countries of any modern President.

Farage clearly has incredibly poor judgement, yet the mainstream media, ironically, constantly question Starmer’s.

So excited to reveal this at last!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Infinite feelings.

Calls to halt UK Palantir contracts grow amid ‘lack of transparency’ over deals Opposition MPs urge Labour to pause public contracts with the US tech firm after attempts to examine deals blocked

Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS.

The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals.

The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt

ceos are so fucking delusional. People cannot be more clear: we fucking hate AI being shoved in every product. And yet they still think if they push hard enough it's going to magically turn into money for them.

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

I would pay DOUBLE my bbc licence if this happened on current affairs programmes

This is a gorgeous essay.

Dammit, tech companies. The only think I need to know about your awesome AI feature is how to turn it off.
