Prince William says he wants to protect our planet, so I just signed the petition calling on @KensingtonRoyal to rewild parts of his newly inherited estate to help fight the climate crisis & increase Britain's biodiversity. Join me? https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/prince-william-bring-back-britain-s-rainforests-in-your-newly-inherited-estate?#rewilding

@MostlyHarmless That seems to be the strategy the Romans used re Lake Galilee in the time of Jesus. Funny how all this stuff is coming round again ...

"Cuba had made two effective coronavirus vaccines from scratch — and then vowed to share its intellectual property worldwide.... In August 2021, one of BioCubaFarma’s laboratories also produced a booster... more than 90 percent efficacy, on par with the leading Western vaccines. The cost of developing these shots was $50 million,...far less than the billions invested by the U.S. government and the hundreds of millions invested by Germany in theirs"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/01/pandemic-vaccines-cuba-who-planning/#pandemic

@stux The 'no' could change to 'yes but...' if there was a strong legal way to make sure that Meta wouldn't be scraping our data or making money from users outside of Meta.

@Radical_EgoCom It's interesting how often our background assumption is that other civilisations would be more 'Star Trek, Federation' than Ferengi, say.

@rms ...and, of course, if the @guardiannews hadn't participated in smearing moderate social democratic leadership, we might just now be 4 years in to a government which was doing this. Sigh.

Cory Doctorow on the money again: "The problem with, say, Meta, is only partially that Mark Zuckerberg is personally monumentally unsuited to serving as the unelected, unaccountable permanent social media czar for three billion people. The real problem is that no one should have that job. That job shouldn’t exist. We don’t need to find a better Mark Zuckerberg. We need to abolish Mark Zuckerberg."#enshittification #socialMedia #democracy #privacyhttps://doctorow.medium.com/let-the-platforms-burn-6fb3e6c0d980

@therightarticle "historian William Dalrymple responded to this by tweeting: ‘Has the BBC outsourced its coverage of the Rafah [sic] to the Israeli embassy? When 45 people have just been hideously burned alive, how is that not a bloodbath, @BBCNEWS? Would you use that language if say, the bomb had dropped instead on Portland Place [the home of the BBC]?’

@raph Isn't that a crime? Entrapment? Forcing someone to commit an illegality...

''When England and Wales sold off their water companies in 1989, the claim was that freeing them from public ownership would unleash private capital. Markets ... would provide the investment needed to modernise the network and protect the environment, while competition (though entirely notional in a regional monopoly) would drive efficiency. The public would gain from private dynamism... three decades later, every element of that promise has failed".https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10/09/water-privatisation-has-failed-now-it-is-time-to-move-on/ #UKpolitics
