Biden's giveaway to polluters

dimanche 1 octobre 2023 à 10:02

*Oil Change International: Biden’s offshore drilling plan is a massive giveaway to polluters just days after president skips United Nations summit on ending fossil fuels.*

Sit-down protest at labour's shadow cabinet offices

dimanche 1 octobre 2023 à 10:02

*Young climate activists staged sit-down protests outside the offices of every member of Labour’s shadow cabinet on Friday, calling on the party to take a tougher line on the proposed new Rosebank oilfield and back a comprehensive Green New Deal.*

Apology for statement on child-grooming gangs

dimanche 1 octobre 2023 à 07:47

Tory minister Suella Braverman stated in an interview that child-grooming gangs in the UK were mainly made up of Pakistani-British. The newspaper was forced to apologize for publishing this, since it turns out those gangs are mostly whites.

Braverman is Indian-British. Since India and Pakistan have been persistent enemies since the partition which divided them in 1947. I suppose she seized an opportunity to spread hate against Pakistan.

You can hardly trust a Tory.

*Whether or not Suella Braverman becomes the next Tory leader, her extreme [and usually cruel] ideas rule the party.*

Senator Feinstein

samedi 30 septembre 2023 à 14:32

Senator Feinstein, a "centrist" (somewhat right-wing) Democrat, has died.

Her death, as such, is regrettable; no human being deserves to die. However, her departure from the Senate is good for America and the world, because it will enable California's Governor Newsom to replace her soon with a progressive Democrat.

AI's response-time fix for budget's performance

samedi 30 septembre 2023 à 13:02

AI pattern recognizers are effective at getting a good chance of recognizing many significant phenomena. Fraudulent welfare claims is one of them. But humans accused of any sort of wrongdoing deserve a real investigation.

It is inherently unjust to punish someone because a program reported perse's actions "resemble crime."

We must keep in mind that the UK's welfare system is designed to be cruel; it reduces unemployed and disabled people to a point where they can't actually get by, and imposes impossible requirements. Whatever system of enforcement of those requirements the state happens to use is a means to a horrible end.
