@ChrisCorney1 @lordofintent Mexico has broken the embargo. All of Central America given a front row showing of who the good and bad guys are.

If the US won't let oil into Cuba, will it let a hospital ship out of Cuba and receive all the cancer patients whose lives are threatened by the US embargo? I doubt it. A country that won't provide healthcare to its own workers is unlikely to help sick and dying neighbours.
Claudia Webbe@ClaudiaWebbe

5 million Cubans with chronic illness face medicine shortages. 16,000 cancer patients can’t get radiotherapy. Not because Cuba lacks doctors. Because Washington lacks humanity. The US oil blockade is a weapon. Its target is the Cuban people. Trump is the perpetrator

@RLC_Words_Fan And yet presumably a lot easier to maintain than the other critical systems on a gigantic nuclear powered carrier. “For want of a nail…” or is there another reason US wants this ship out of the area?

@2hrTV @ProductionsJAW Exactly that. 👏🏻 Wouldn't it be a hoot to do this? - not a care in the world about how the next person would carry on from there.

@ProductionsJAW I think a lot of it has been down to his increasing self confidence over the years, the self belief that he can do no wrong. Thinking everything you do is genius or a hoot and nobody telling you any different is not conducive to good storytelling IMO.

Seeing everyone’s perception of RTD decline over the last few years has been interesting as someone who finds him and a lot of his work overrated. I’d hoped his return would win me around, so I’m baffled how he’s managed to do the opposite and piss everyone else off instead.

@TasteRay @medus4_cdc Black and White though. A teenager would rather have their fingernails pulled out than watch a B&W film. 😭

@medus4_cdc Try The Haunting (1963) for truly unsettling classic dread.

My teenager said she wants to watch an "old school horror movie" I suggested "House on Haunted Hill" with Vincent Price. She said "no, I was thinking something classic, like The Blair Witch Project" Anyway, I'm going to die of old age any day now

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?
The Associated Press@AP

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut, on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

@JordanEVGuy @Rawson99 Dialling down the current for safety, it's still a half charge overnight, which is pretty good. The real answer though is chargers in all car parks. We don't expect petrol pumps outside our homes.

This doesn’t look like much, but it changes everything. What you’re looking at is an evpzee lamppost charger. It is the smartest solution to one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. A standard street lamp, quietly turned into an EV charger. No digging up roads, it is installed in just 30 minutes. No huge infrastructure projects, a full street can be electrified in a matter of hours. Manufactured and assembled in the UK and fully OCPP. Using what’s already there. For millions of people across the UK, especially those without driveways, this is the difference between “I can’t have an EV” and “actually…I can.” It’s easy to overlook innovations like this because they’re not flashy. No 350kW ultra-rapid chargers. No massive charging hubs. Just practical, scalable, everyday infrastructure doing exactly what it needs to do. And that’s the point. The EV transition will be be driven by everyone having the ability to charge when they need to. Simple. Effective.

@HorrorPaperback No arguments over 1st place. For me this probably inches it into 3rd.

This is doing the rounds on the GP whatsapps - how to address housing w/ urban density. I lived in flats in city centres in Taiwan & imo mid-rises are much better than HMOs. I rarely ordered online as everything was nearby. Didn't need a car. Saves money. youtube.com/watch?v=scJP80…

@earthygirl011 @TheGreenParty It's entirely true and accepted by a large majority of the population. If we retreat from it because a handful of rich, powerful people attack us, what are we for? Who do we represent?

A lot of @TheGreenParty supporters will be very disappointed if members don't get a vote on the 'Zionism is racism' motion Because it will be the first mis-step in an otherwise 'confident of who it is' party It's time to be brave not to tremble in fear

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has warned that meningitis B, also known as MenB, can be spread by “prolonged kissing or sharing vapes and drinks”. A vaccine will be offered to some students at the University of Kent in a "targeted" programme to tackle the deadly outbreak.

@TinyWriterLaura I hoped that a positive outcome of Covid would be that we would be a little more considerate of others as a society, but I was wrong. The message that masks are for the protection of OTHER people falls on stoney ground here. ☹️ Covid deaths UK 200,000, Japan deaths 58,000

honestly, this. i’m not a perfect masker -i’ve been to weddings etc- but i mask on public transport, in hospitals/doctors/supermarkets/if i’m picking up a coffee & so on, and i truly believe if everyone masked a bit more than they do it would shift rates of transmission & illness
Vivian@suchnerve

“I don’t want to wear a mask all the time” Alright. Would you please wear it sometimes? Sometimes > never. Like just keep one in your bag, and put it on when you’re in an extra crowded place maybe?
