Shades of 2016. Stale deal offered by stale leadership.
At the last moment, ahead of next week’s action, the Government has moved and made a new offer for resident doctors in England.
Strikes for 15–19 June have been called off while members vote on a new offer covering jobs, pay and progression.
The choice is yours:
Vote YES and accept the offer, or vote NO and return to escalated industrial action.
I appreciate how honest right-wingers are about being vile genocidal barbaric fucks that must be chucked into woodchippers at the nearest convenience, proud of you guys for finally embracing your true degeneracy.
Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

The continuation of civil society has always depended on weeding these people out. If you do not care about other people but profit by existing structures then you are a parasite.
Nostalgia is a tool of fascism, a warm, idealized version of a past that never truly existed. Do not catch yourself longing for The Corporate Wire Mother. There was no Golden Age; only advertisements for products that you were too young to defend yourself against.
I thought that this was overblown until I joined my wife's new mom's group in our DC neighborhood after our first daughter was born. Dads were invited to the last meetup. We went around the room and said how we were feeling, what we were grateful for—I dislike that format in general, but I was being a good sport. Anyway, it came around to one of the dad's and he just straight up said, with his beautiful child sitting on his lap, that he had extremely mixed feelings because of the carbon footprint his child had brought into the world. It was the first time this kind of discourse was truly made real to me. I suppose I thought, before that happened, that nobody REALLY feels that way, and that it's just part of a discourse/signaling thing—let alone once their newborn child is actually sitting on their lap. I was wrong.
I've been in hospital with my 4yo son all day, as he's getting chemo for his leukaemia, and as ever, I can't stop thinking about the fact that churches in Jerusalem begged the Israeli govt to let them treat kids with cancer in Gaza, and Israel said no. A mass death sentence.
“Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely. Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.” This evil hallucination software shouldn’t be anywhere near kids
