Another poll in front of Labour?
We're coming for Reform next!
Time for rent controls, nationalise our public services & protect our NHS.

Thread discussing how benches are essential inclusive architecture. Many people can drive, cycle or walk but can't stand for longer periods.
It takes a lot more leg strength and complex muscle working arrangements to stand than to walk.
I have limited walking AND standing stamina. My nearest shops are in my max good-day walking distance but no benches mean I can't rest part or half way so it's a painful trip when it needn't be.
Stations never have enough seating and it's often hostile.
Anthropic lost a class action suit for scraping books. Writers can register with Anthropic to be compensated for their pillaging of our copyrights.
The compensation system was AI-coded.
Anthropic can't keep track of our submissions. They don't know who wrote what.
Their customer support is AI-driven. Send a mail! Log in to a nonexistent page! Resubmit and it'll be fine!
This will be fine. 
It feels almost as if the media focus on USA going into Iran is acting as a smokescreen for what Israel is doing to Lebanon.
Who is playing who in this illegal war which will cost lives, huge sums of US and Israeli taxpayers money, restrict the supply of goods globally and displace thousands of people from multiple countries.
Who stands to win the most here?
I would argue it’s the arms manufacturers.
#Agrivoltaics: high returns on investment.

"From an operations and maintenance (O&M) perspective, the study highlights that sheep are a technically superior tool for vegetation control compared to mechanical mowing.
The solar arrays, in turn, provide a beneficial microclimate for the flock as the shade from the panels reduces heat stress and water consumption, which researchers noted can lead to improved animal welfare and weight gain."

Pro tip for anyone considering putting this type of woven plastic root barrier in their garden, please don't. For the sake of literally everyone. I've been fighting this stuff for weeks now, roots have grown under it, over it, even through it. It's impossible to remove without tearing it apart, creating thousands of these thin plastic ribbons. Seriously, look at this fucking bullshit! 🤬

One.
Never back down in the face of hate - when they attack migrants, when they spew hate about our trans siblings, when they blame muslims for our country’s ills. We stand united - because there's more that brings us together than divides us.
