promises to bring back national service for 18-year-olds - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/25/sunak-promises-to-bring-back-national-service-for-18-year-olds surely this means sunak has just lost most votes of women with children who would be conscripted under this desperate idea?

Right-wing Australian billionaire and money-bag climate change denier Gina Reinhart apparently doesn't want people to see her portrait by the Indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira in the National Gallery.

So it would be just awful if people share this article and her portrait.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/15/gina-rinehart-demands-national-gallery-of-australia-remove-her-portrait.

Personally, I think it's great - and might make a very attractive t-shirt?

Just bung in your postcode and leave it running to keep updated with the probability of it being visible.

Human who works a job, caregives for children, parents, pets, or relatives, cooks, cleans, shops, is on committees, volunteers, helps with family's extracurriculars, tries to make it to family and friend social events, exercise, eat right, and maybe even do a hobby they are interested in: Doc, I don't know why I'm so tired, and stressed all the time.

The online world was meant to be an open system but has become dominated by huge corporations. If we are to revive it, that must end.

Interestion point of view. It starts in my opinion with using open source solutions.
And also with governments adapting to and adopting the same.

Myself, I have been using Mosaic, Netscape and Firefox, and up to now, never needed anything else. Same for social media. Use open source.

Never mind that stuff. Some of the things I've seen rated at 15 or even 12 have appalling violence in them that should be rated at 18. Especially stuff on Netflix.

You can't expect him to do betting. Betting is something that the proles do. Those with money, like Rishi run the gambling industry.

I remember when the way the Labour Party were treated in media interviews, in comparison to the Tories, used to annoy me. Now it positively makes me cheer. Sky News this morning:

Kay Burley: "Is Labour happy to cap child benefits, but not bankers' bonuses?"

Jonathan Reynolds: [pause, pause, pause…] I would not make that comparison"

KB: "I just did ... "

JR: "Waffle waffle waffle it's not the same fiscal discipline blah-di-blah blah blah"

@fkamiah17 I have big respect for Kay Burley. I know she's said some daft things in the past, but she is an effective interviewer.

OK, here's my precious BBC Micro, which hasn't been switched on for about twenty years, and for about twelve years of that was stored in a damp shed. It's been in the house – and therefore reasonably dry – for six months. What precautions do I need to take before I experiment with switching it on again?
