When Christianity was dominant, we murdered each other a lot more. Correlation or causation ?

OH: “In Vienna, 80 percent of residents qualify for public housing, once you have a contract, it never expires, even if you get richer. Housing experts believe this approach leads to greater economic diversity within public housing & better outcomes for the people living in it.”

As a general rule, the boomers make me so angry. They just assume that they deserve it and don’t realise that younger generation is paying their pension and benefits. No one ever told them.

Just spoke with 77 year old man who did just 25 years of police work to retire with a rather lavish pension in the 1990’s. I asked if he ever thought about people who will work for at least 45 years and get almost no pension, he said the papers never talk about that. @guardian

Chat-style LLMs means extroverts worried that their primary skill of talking incessantly and continuously is under threat using social media to fret and panic.

Introverts over there are thinking and doing while using Chat LLMs to do the talking.

I think it’s fair to say that I am pro-Europe and that Britain needs to be part of it. I am not pro-European Union and have largely negative views of it. It was an economic union and pretends to be a political union. Until it’s overhauled, I’m on the fence.

[Greg Ferro (It me) @gregjferro]

Politicians must be held to account. Don’t much care who they are. Tory politicians are shameless for pretending that it doesn’t apply to them.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

So let's get this right..
Rishi Sunak, who's under investigation for breach of ministerial rules himself, is now consulting about Braverman & her breach of ministerial rules?

Maybe Tories need the rules stapled to their desk, door, laptop & fridges!! 🤷🏼‍♀️ https://t.co/dhuMUsktZg

Cheap reporting and topic research. So much easier than having to work to find stories and present topic points to a talking head that is narcissist drunk on exposure.

#Tucker Carlson’s firing is a huge blow to #Russian state television propaganda. He was a major part of their coverage, they quoted him almost every day, they repeated his themes and conspiracy stories.
