Have America's effective laws against fast-talking fraudsters displaced them from business to politics?

What, like rayeeayne on your wedding day?

It that a really ratty Ferrari?

I can't do the jingle on here, but I can remember it!

I've got a depressing feeling the same might be true of European political polarisation in the 30s. I'm personally getting new insight into how the British navy could've been supporting fascist soldiers in S & W Spain while the FO & Ministers were on a concerted anti-Franco diplomatic mission.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

This thread from my Mastodon account talks about the corrosive effects of policies that promote home ownership in the UK. In the last 15 years, the gap between renters and home owners has shifter from renters paying twice to *four times* as much.

🧵 This Resolution Foundation graph comparing housing costs for renters and owner-occupiers again shows growing inequality under the ConDem and Conservative governments of the last 15 years. TBF it was widening under New Labour before that, too. This is important for many reasons 1/3 #UKPolicyCharts

Is that Oxford|?

There's a view that losing the election could be OK, because his presidential term lasts 'til 2027. So if the far right did get in he would be able to moderate their policies, and after 3 years of ineffective government the tide would turn against them. Not saying I agree ...

Bridged from my account on Mastodon. Well done #Fediverse!

🧵 There have been some interesting #UKPolicyCharts in the run-up to the General Election here on 4th July. This one published in @FT is particularly telling. Source: https://www.ft.com/content/bc19bbf4-2939-489e-a113-e21d5baf356d (paywall)

There are also sizes for typesetters/designers/graphic artists in the same ratio that allow for cropping and crop marks. SRA0, SRA1 etc.

Same here. Memory functions, but not on demand!

Not immediately. First they will need the demoralised and depleted workforce to provide 'human oversight' for an impossibly large number of AI decisions. That way they can be scapegoated when the decisions inevitably cause suicides. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-ignored-...

DWP ignored ‘hugely alarming’ research that linked WCA with 600 suicides, MPs are toldwww.disabilitynewsservice.com The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) ignored leading academics after they published “hugely alarming” research that linked the work capability assessment with 600 suicides in just three years…

Great to find you on here, Anne. For years your work on sex and gender was a part of my 'Human Growth & Development' module.

... but not forgotten!

Looks great! What's the large deep fried and crumbed thing in the middle, criss-crossed with Sriracha?

Rhubarb from our allotment, made into crumble. 🍽️In the UK, rhubarb is the earliest fruit in spring. The 'cream' is from a well-known manufacturer of oat milk, which now makes the equivalent of single and double cream. They claim the double can be whipped. This experiment proves it!

I used to decry the Brits for not taking to the streets. Now I have a sneaking suspicion the better-funded right-wing militias who are useful idiots for right-wing regimes elsewhere would kill us all. So, let's take over the institutions of state instead.
