@WendyNowak Already signed, but happy to boost. I agree, people who have grown up taking health care for granted are sleepwalking into a future of private health insurance which will be prohibitive for most, unavailable for the uninsurable, and not affordable when billed at the point of need. #NHSSOS

Steve Bannon and Jason Miller have been sharing their coup-plot techniques with the Bolsonaros.

Some allies and advisers want the Brazilian president to contest his election loss to Lula. Others want a global fight over free speech.

Karl Marx: "Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce."

#Brazil #Brasil #Brasilia #Lula #Bolsonaro #Coup

Result of the invasion of the Supreme Court in #Brasilia. Phrases everywhere indicating that Lula lost: he didn't lose, he won democratically.
This is not protest, this is terrorism. #Brasilia #Brasil #Brazil
At long last an article from the BBC setting out why the NHS Is in the parlous state it is. Annual budget increase halved despite growing demand due aging population, real terms cuts to pay causing staff shortages. They don’t include diversion of £££ which could have been invested in NHS into the profits of the private sector due to back door privatisation. Thise who should read it probably won’t. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64190440?app=news.health.correspondent_story.64190440.page

I live in the USA with privatized #HealthCare . "Privatized health care" is just another term for "F-k the poor & middle class! Let them just suffer from treatable chronic illnesses and die."

It's also another way to make middle class people poor and put them in unending debt.

By all that's holy, do NOT let them take away your #NHS !

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

I don't think this is getting the coverage it needs. Scottish government to require passivhaus standard for all new build homes. This is big. Really big. Growing out of lessons from the 70's oil crisis. Passivhaus buildings use very little energy to heat, or to cool. We've known how to do this for decades. It's gross negligence from all western governments that the same is not true of all new builds in the developed world.

Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:
