I’ve been trying get people to stop getting helium balloons for over 30 years just that reason.
Also helium - so some medical procedures may be affected
Please do not buy helium balloons
Ever
It is a finite resource, cannot be manufactured and various medical procedures depend on it
The government of #Dubai dont want anyone to openly film how dangerous it is in #Dubai. This repressive dictatorship hates even basic freedoms. Wouldn’t it be terrible if this were shared widely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
My pension explicitly avoid investing in the arms industry (along with tobacco, alcohol et al)
Will my "wokeness" affect my quality of life
No!
Because even if I could have been wealthier, I do not want to be so if it means I am funding war / lung cancer / addiction etc
It is not all about the $$$
I am in the UK but everythi9ng US does affects all of us so...
I want more empathetic leaders please
JD Vance is younger & indubitably smarter than Trump
But still too authoritarian for my liking
“Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain.” A subheading underneath says: “Ofgem licence means firm can replicate Texas setup of powering homes, businesses and EVs.”
Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.
We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.
Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.
You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
Also effin' puerile and downright wrong
Davey says Elon Musk is "clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry."
On Elon Musk's firm being approved by Ofgem to supply energy to British homes, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey:
"Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
"Elon Musk is a threat to our national security...We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.”
And hopefully the last country the US will come to for military support l
And the Iranian media is channelling the same vibes😭😭😭

And now the rest of the world's hostility and distrust towards the US & Israel...
Maybe if the US didn't upset so many people they wouldn't need so much lethal capacity
What makes Canada (Scandinavia /NZ / Netherlands etc) special right now is they trust their fellow citizens, they support each other with free healthcare, they're content, happy & not on the verge of authoritarianismm
They don't incarcerate so many & children go to school unworried they may be shot
Also your (the US) reputation in the world has collapsed
No-one trusts the US
No-one likes the US
We know just how deep you authoritarian streak runs & too many are tarnished for a change of POTUS to change this
The world is forming alliances that exclude the US
Fair enough
Badly thought through I will delete
Absolutely this
"The politics of envy" - a phrase rolled out by people who've a personality glitch (lack of empathy?) that means they will never know contentment, they will never have "enough"
They'll never know the pure joy of sharing what they have friends who may have more or less than they do
Even the better US journalists are so blooming parochial
The rest of the world has no desire to be part of this but has absolutely no choice
And the REST OF THE WORLD!
Or the rest of the world who are saddened and baffled by the clusterf**k that the US has become
Really glad to finally have a clear definition
I've often wondered why some people consider "woke" an insult
I guess they weren't using the term as an insult, they were just bemused by people having this urge
(Although I've been called "woke" & never had the urge to do this myself)
It's perplexing
Is this AI??
Surely no-one would do this?
Stop please
Stop trying open up another unnecessary culture war
LibDems should be better than this
If anyone actually cares or even notices, it will be because of manufactured outrage from posts like this
Save posturing for the important things
Who the fuck is liking this utter bullshit? "Just burning oil like normal."
The whole reason pollution control in cars requires money and technology and can't be left to chance is that uncontrolled combustion is deadly af

It is unthinkably awful that anyone could view this triumphally
Everyone viewing these scenes needs to imagine their father or sister or neighbour or colleague on board at the moment if impact
And then contemplate as to who is doing this and why
In whose name do we do this to fellow humans?
Get out of the culture wars and start healing divisions
Please
What pollution is this causing?
