As trees do not make cries for human ears to hear, nor does much of nature when it is being destroyed, so, to paraphrase Gandhi, I update his wise words:
'The greatness of a nation & it's moral progress can be judged by the way nature is treated'

Grow your own oak tree #16
Cracks are appearing around the remains of the style. On an acorn this is the tiny, hardened pointy tip or nub at the opposite end from the cup
This is pressure from the taproot trying to exit π€

π¨17th century hotel w/ historical links to Charles Dickens + Lord Nelson.
Off-shore owner's neglect has led to the building's deterioration, now Β£250k is needed to protect it from collapse with Great Yarmouth Borough Council left to foot the bill.

Everyone keeps calling it a cost of living crisis.
But when companies keep raising prices while reporting record profits, maybe we should start calling it what it really feels like:
a cost of greed crisis.

βWith a beauty all his own
Reigns winter keen and hoary;
Sweet the springtideβs vivid smile,
Sweet the summerβs glory;
But autumnβs bounteous hand,
In the cloudless weather,
Brings flower, fruit, and harvest home
To the world together.β

Tom, thatβs utter nonsense, and you know it. Itβs like saying that without Facebook and Cambridge Analytica fewer people would have been able to connect and throw virtual parties.
And when you say "while they protest", youβre talking about technical experts who know you, and who understand precisely what Palantir does and are challenging the company on technical, ethical and political grounds.
As youβll probably remember, I was Chairman of the British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) when you were Minister for Digital Engagement and Civil Service Issues. You donβt have the technical background to justify presenting yourself as an authority on Palantirβs technology. Your value to Palantir is your access to government, politics, and the media. You advised the company from 2024 - while they were winning government contracts without having to go through procurement processes like everyone else.
Alex Karp has said: "Our product is used, on occasion, to kill people" and his co-founders?
So answer the constructive things people say instead of falling back to ideological statements. Everyone can see through them.
When Palantir technology contributes to a decision that results in the wrong person being killed, what do you call that?
A casualty of war?
A false positive?
Later today protesters will demand βNo Palantir in our NHSβΒ
Β
While they protest, someone, somewhere will get an operation scheduled earlier, a cancer diagnosis quicker, a loved one home from hospital sooner - thanks to the software that those protesters would switch off.
Β
Here is what you wonβt hear. Trusts using the software have recorded:
β’ 117,000 additional operations
β’ 14.3 per cent reduction in discharge delays for long stay patients
β’ 5.6 per cent improvement in the number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis within 28 days Β
Β
As a more articulate person once said: βcertain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.β

The UK can't afford to pay the OAPs a decent Pension
That's what Andy Burnham is really saying,
That's good to know,
13 Million pensioners will just have to find another home for their votes!

Iβve never seen anything like this anti-Triple Lock campaign, certainly not since the days of βIraqi WMDsβ. It was relentless as Nic says. Across most of the media including the βnew mediaβ . βCentre-left/βprogressiveβ think tanks, βfree marketβ think-tanks, βleft-wingβ (or at least seemingly left-wing) commentators, βright-wingβ commentators.
Seeding the idea that it was the Triple Lock that was βbankruptingβ the country. All about preparing us for the moment Andy Burnham made his announcement.

The Dahlia is a birth flower for those born in October. In the language of flowers, it symbolises dignity and elegance. Dreaming of brightly coloured Dahlias is said to bring good fortune, while in flower magic they are associated with βspiritual evolutionβ. #FolkloreThursday

HOW DID BEING HEALTHY GET SO COMPLICATED?
We have never had more information about health.
Yet somehow we've made eating lunch more complicated than applying for a mortgage.
Eat real food.
Move your body.
Get some sleep.
Drink some water.
Stop stressing about every little thing.
There. Iβve saved you 47 podcasts and a Β£300 wellness retreat.

The UK has:
1,000,000 NEETs
1,000,000 Early Retirees
2,700,000 People out of work for health reasons
We need a working week that is sustainable for the long-term. One that doesnβt grind us down and force us out.
Itβs time for a 4-day week. β°
