Americanisation, for lack of a better word, is good.
Yuan Yi Zhu@yuanyi_z
The collapse of the Prostant/Roman divide and its replacement with undifferentiated cultural Christianity in the UK is a very obvious sign of the Americanisation of UK discourse.

@potwor_dom And btw, the idea that "we don't talk about those things in Britain" is just internalised Blairism. Richard Curtis psyop.

@potwor_dom America's good, and its public conversation about matters of moral concern (most obviously, abortion) is much more sophisticated, serious, and sincere than the equivalent in Britain.

O no my "rhetoric" "melted" under "its own weight" (????)
Matthew Stadlen@MatthewStadlen
Some on the radical right want you to think it’s “mansplaining” for men to call out domestic abuse and it’s not bigoted to sow fear and hate about Muslims. Their rhetoric melts under the weight of its own nonsense.

@s8mb Also SO2 stays in the atmosphere for a very short amount of time, so unexpected consequences are not much of a threat; we could basically just turn it off at will.
(Sorry if you mentioned this - haven't listened yet.)

Adding sulfur dioxide to the atmosphere could reverse a 0.4 C of global warming, buying us time to develop technology to manage CO2 emissions cheaply and effectively.
Listen now!
Works in Progress@WorksInProgMag
Industrial air pollution has been hiding a lot of global warming. Sulfur dioxide, largely from shipping fuels, has been cooling the earth, masking about 0.4°C of warming. A further 10 million tonnes of sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere could offset a degree of warming.

If once this flood-gate is opened, where does it stop? If we throw aside three centuries of convention, can the king then veto any law he chooses, on any grounds that seem fit to him? If so, is he, not Parliament, the effective decider of policy? We need better answers than this.
Turning Point UK 🇬🇧@TPointUK
We call on King Charles III to do the right thing and refuse to sign the extremist full-term abortion bill into law. Only 1% of the public support it. This is a chance for the monarchy to show they stand with the British people against radicals. @RoyalFamily

Since we're doing the Blood Meridian discourse it should be made clear that Cormac McCarthy is one of the greatest American novelists of all time and anyone who doesn't understand this must be deported

It’s worth remembering that UK doesn’t have bases in the country of Cyprus - they’re located on British territory, which means this is once again an attack on our sovereignty by the EU.

Btw hereditary peers in the Lords seem to have voted 19 vs. 6 against the decriminalisation of full-term abortion.

- Put tens of billions in wind and solar costs onto energy bills
- Prohibit fracking and drilling for North Sea oil & gas
- Impose a carbon tax 50% higher than California’s and 6x higher than China’s
- Borrow billions of pounds to pay for a “cost of living bailout”

EXCLUSIVE: Sir Keir Starmer has been told that he may have to “rethink” the government’s borrowing rules to fund a potential cost of living bailout amid mounting concern about the impact of the Iran war on household finances. The Times has been told that there was a discussion about the government’s fiscal rules at Cabinet on Tuesday. Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, suggested that they may need to be reconsidered if prices continue to rise and a major package of support is needed. Nandy, who is aligned with the soft left of the Labour party, has become the first member of the Cabinet to suggest that the government’s fiscal rules may need to be relaxed in response to the crisis. Ministers are increasingly concerned that the conflict in the Middle East will lead to long-term economic scarring and push up the cost of food, heating and mortgage payments for millions of families. The cost of food is expected to rise particularly sharply as a result of fertiliser shortages and the impact of increased transport costs The Treasury stands by the fiscal rules, saying they have helped bring “stability to the public finances, investment to our infrastructure and reform to our economy”.
