Unfortunately, I don't think ship crew (other than the captain and navigator) get much of a choice in where the ship goes.

Maybe we should ban Christianity while we're at it. It has things like 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God'. Pretty antisemitic if you think about it.

Who'd vote for Reform-lite when they can vote for Reform?

Courageous move by Keir Starmer, in the Yes Minister sense.

I don't think he expects to get re-elected anyway.

50km lightning waow.

Nature is beautiful. And scary.

So it's some kind of high-altitude lightning, right? Wikipedia says something something plasma something.

Boeing paying racist bot farms to go around claiming Indians are too subhuman to properly maintain their totaly not faulty engines.

From Wikipedia, Air India's last flight loss was 40 years ago, in 1985 (to a terrorist attack). On the other hand, Air India was sold by the Indian government to a private company in 2022, so yeah.

In Oliver Twist, the workhouses abuse the children in their care by not giving them enough food. Now we've somehow crossed even that line.

We're playing with Meditteranean racism rules, not US ones.

Reminder that Luigi Mangione, the handsome young man most unfairly accused of murder, is a Catholic. He is also white, Italian and vaguely paternalistic. Finally, he has been compared to Jesus and various saints, and is seen as a champion of the sick and the downtrodden.

All I'm saying is, the College of Cardinals has a chance to do something very funny.

I just feel happy that your grandfather has lived so long and seen his country go from WW2 and famine to the zeroeth world.

I'd suggest a law that companies providing medical equipment should reveal all their blueprints, code, etc. to some national regulator. If the company goes belly up, the regulator releases these into the public domain so other manufacturers can provide spare parts, maintanence, etc. The inventors / programmers can be given a reasonable compensation for their work being nationalised.
