@textbasedlife @FUDdaily You significantly overestimate your ability to formulate an 'argument', tbh.
English
Weather the same as it was 104 years ago, due to climate change.
Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki@MatthewWielicki
The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out: The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922. That’s 104 years ago. Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages. So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.

@clim8resistance @FUDdaily You are the one who is just moaning and shrugging when someone puts forward an argument lol
English
@textbasedlife @FUDdaily "If the average moves then the extreme temperatures also move." < math fail.
Bore off. Thanks.
English
@clim8resistance @FUDdaily If the average moves then the extreme temperatures also move.
I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the UK net zero strategy but I still very much believe the planet is warming due to co2 emissions
English
@textbasedlife @FUDdaily Shrug dot gif.
You keep changing your argument.
It's tedious.
English
@clim8resistance @FUDdaily or just plot the average temperature for the last 100 years on a graph?
English
@textbasedlife @FUDdaily Well, we'll have to wait about another 104 years to find out.

@leowebbhk @AscendedYield If AI and robotics is going to deflate care costs massively then you can do whatever and be fine
English
@AscendedYield Unless you think you can dramatically deflate care costs with automation within two or three decades. Which is extremely plausible

A good article explaining the short term positive effects of mass immigration.
If you have stagnant growth and a rising set of public spending demands, one of the easiest levers to pull, other than borrowing, is to let in a lot of working age people, if you are only concerned about the economic health of the country for the next financial year or parliamentary term, it makes sense, you mechanically increase income tax, national insurance contributions and VAT receipts while the people who are coming to pay this will not be fiscal burdens within the time period.
The issue is, for anyone with a life expectancy above 5, is that the cohort of migrants we brought over in the time period to increase tax receipts will then become a fiscal burden as they age, and you are back to square one.
What you end up getting is a fiscal illusion since we are not looking at the future fiscal costs as a result of this, and living standards do not grow, hence why people are mad.
The Telegraph@Telegraph
The Boriswave ushered in the fastest population growth in England and Wales in 75 years. However, this year the pendulum will decisively swing the other way. Net migration may enter negative territory for the first time in more than three decades. But it raises big questions about whether Britain’s economy will cope ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@Xperimentingg he probably hates Elon for other reasons unrelated to spacex, not worth talking to such people

Immediately got blocked over this lol.

@DarthNoll @eccorca @AeroBigMike While the top sections of the ships are usually destroyed after a tip over, the mid & aft-sections usually survive in a pretty big piece; with engines intact might I add. So yes, you absolutely can recover hardware for inspection from these; these photos are from Flight 6.

@textbasedlife @itsonlyme8290 @Joanna__Hardy And to predict wheatear patterns we use meteorology and not astronomy.

Bought a fancy end-of-bed fan before the London heatwave began and - honestly - this is the single greatest purchase of my life

@textbasedlife @itsonlyme8290 @Joanna__Hardy Dude summer starts on June 1. May is the last month of spring.

@itsonlyme8290 @Joanna__Hardy still another month of spring left

@granawkins @capajj Every new technology has downsides, we will adapt eventually
English
@capajj They also
- stop people from thinking hard and understanding
- force everything toward the mean
- will be used to harden surveillance and subliminal control
- ruin people’s soul by being sycophantic and/or people treat them badly and that bleeds into how they treat other humans

@iesumawr123 @alexwickham if you want the country to be poorer, then sure
English
@alexwickham Shall we just do away with government and let the bond markets run the country?
Let’s cut out the middleman and let them do it.
We’re not allowed to have the policies we vote for so just fuck it off.
English
Andy Burnham’s decision to keep the current fiscal rules, as told to Bloomberg this week, has contributed to gilts having their best weekly gain since 2023
Easing political concerns plus optimism on Iran, slower than forecast inflation numbers and soft jobs and retail data all gave bonds a lift

@Davidnicholl19 @lukeakehurst @DerbyChrisW Plunging the party of opposition into a crisis is fine, it doesn't really hurt the country. Doing the same for the party in power is completely different.
English
@lukeakehurst @DerbyChrisW I don't think anyone believes that would have made any difference to you Luke.
English
Mr Akehurst is the very epitome of double standards. Back in 2016 he was threatening more coups against Jeremy Corbyn. I sent this private message to him back then (see below) urging him to accept the will of the members. He never replied.
Luke Akehurst@lukeakehurst
Nothing that has happened today is remotely proportionate or reasonable behaviour this far out from a General Election scheduled for 2029. This level of internal game playing risks driving us into a General Election within months, as well as causing months of deep political instability that have real world consequences for the economy and national security. I am, to put it mildly, unimpressed.

@EleanoraStats @CllrAlexCatt The green parties main achievement will be more reform MPs getting elected
English
@CllrAlexCatt same comrade, same. We are a political party, we stand in elections!! all the arguments being deployed equally applied to Runcorn and Helsby, and Reform won that, and lo and behold it didn't harm us one bit

@RashmanTheHorse this is bollocks, labour MPs have a lot of ways to remove him they are just too scared

Keir Starmer is honestly a lion. Like many lions (Saddam or Assad), he heroically refuses to face reality while his country falls into greater and greater crisis.
English
Two things contributed to the collapse of the Yugoslav economy. One was that Tito borrowed ungodly amounts of money from the IMF and Western banks, because he was convinced Capitalism would end within his lifetime, and therefore the loans would never have to be paid back.
English
@CLondonfashion @lewis_goodall if Keir beats the rebels, the bond markets will be happy, uncertainity will go down, that seems good for the country?
English
@lewis_goodall In other words arrogant and self obsessed.
Everything is about saving his skin, not the party or country.
English
Something people don’t understand about Starmer, partly because he appears so mild mannered, is that he has an iron clad self belief. Genuinely not impossible he does a Corbyn and tries to fight any contest with the membership.
Kevin Schofield@KevinASchofield
BREAKING: Starmer tells Cabinet he's going nowhere. “As I said yesterday, I take responsibility for these election results and I take responsibility for delivering the change we promised. “The past 48 hours have been destabilising for government and that has a real economic cost for our country and for families. “The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and that has not been triggered. “The country expects us to get on with governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a Cabinet.”
