β€œIt is not safe. 'It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public," a Newark air traffic controller told MSNBC Tom Costello. "Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs."

With radio & radar failures, some controllers walked off the job!

Very early #OnThisDay, 6 May 1944, Marguerite 'Peggy' Knight parachutes into occupied France to be a courier for the Special Operations Executive. The British SOE supported the French resistance: couriers would move messages and equipment around an area.

Knight fought her way out of an attempted capture, and returned to the UK in September 1944.

Newly elected Green councillor in Maidstone, Stuart Jeffrey, spoke to BBC Politics South East. He said: β€œThe media has platformed Nigel Farage over and over, pushed his message out at the expense of parties like mine. Last week we had the same number of MPs as Reform, this week we still have more councillors than Reform. We don't get anywhere near the coverage given to Farage and his team and that is why the public vote as they do - we struggle because of the media presence.”

@RichardJMurphy It’s already happening here, in a slightly different way . Look at the raid on the Quaker meeting. Look at the raids and convictions of people for planning or discussing peaceful, non-violent protest. Look at how they are not permitted to make their defence in court, not permitted to use certain words In their defence. Arrested for holding blank A4 in public…. Arrested despite making an agreed arrangement with the police for a protest. Yet, if you bring massive machinery into London on a regular basis, no arrest. If you make Nazi adjacent, racist, eugenics speeches, you are elected to office, no arrests.

Neoliberalism has dominated economics and politics for 45 years, despite being based on nothing more than myths, falsehoods, and fantasies that should have discredited the cult promoting it long ago.

So my friend texted me that she thinks she knows where he got a pope's outfit for that pic.

I told her it was AI generated.

Silence.

We have no idea how many people don't understand tech and will be fooled by everything they see.

Several generations.

VID : Virus Induced Denial

Refusing to believe that the reason you're sick a lot of the time now, with all kinds of things, is because of that 3rd dose of Covid. That wasn't as mild as the first two but you did get over it. "That was 6 months ago, so how can it be affecting me now."

No blame. You're not alone.

The problem with the current Labour Govt. in a nutshell; a 'No.10 source' says:

'It’s a fairness issue but also a fiscal one – how can we spend money on the public’s priorities, like schools and hospitals, if all the money is going on welfare?'

How can a Labour Govt. present a fiscal zero-sum game between spending on schools and hospitals, and spending on welfare, as if there were not other sources or income or cuts that might be made... disgraceful!

Good morning lovely internet people πŸ’•πŸ’•
I hope Tuesday finds you all well πŸ₯°
I finished my book yesterday, βœ… I'll take a small win, πŸ˜„
I've finished the latest baby project, and of course started on a new one! πŸ€—
Off to the charity shop this afternoon, the new layout seems to be working well and having the desired effect, of stopping trip hazards on the shop floor, and speeding up the whole process!
I'm still working at the till, which I love, so it's not having much impact on me.
Sending loads of love and hugs to you all πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ€—πŸ€—
