I expect to hear a fair bit more of this. But (a) in a constituency system there are many places where this is untrue and where voting G or LD would be the best tactical choice and (b) if Labour can’t persuade people to vote for them the primary responsibility is on them.

I finally had the pleasure of watching “The Promised Land” on #Max. The movie is based on Ida Jessens book “The Captain and Ann Barbara”, and the epic story has unfolded an outstanding script. Every character has depth, every scene is essential, and every act is a new surprising twist.
It is a heartbreaking drama, and a thought-provoking, timeless portrayal of life.
This movie took many awards in 2024, and for good reason.
I highly recommend it.
❤️ = 6/6

Second that, a great movie!
The main character is an actual historical person, but after looking into things a little, I have to conclude that it is in no way an accurate portrayal. Just watch it as well crafted period drama.

I don't do plugs often, but if your company relies on work like this being done professionally, Geomys (geomys.org) is how it happens.
You should help us get a contract. You don't need to have spending authority! Just DM me, do an intro, and we'll drive the process. We're pretty good at it.
Part of our job is stepping in to ensure Go is a robust, secure platform to build on. We did it for x/crypto/ssh and bluemonday, now we're doing it for unmaintained and vulnerable CSRF libraries.

This #Mullvad add means a lot.
“A society that gives up freedom for safety will lose both.”
Sacrificing personal freedoms for the sake of safety can lead to the loss of both, as it may result in authoritarian control and erode trust within society.
Ultimately, compromising liberties can create an environment that is neither secure nor free.

The image features a screenshot of a news article from a website titled "HEALTH NEWS." At the top of the image, there is a black bar with white text that reads "just another thing lost to #woke." The main content of the image is a news article with a headline that states, "Doctors are warning patients not to put spring rolls up their anus." Below the headline, there is a photograph of several spring rolls on a plate, accompanied by a small bowl of dipping sauce. The spring rolls are golden-brown and appear to be fried, with a crispy texture. The dipping sauce is dark and contains visible pieces of garlic. The background of the image is a solid blue color, providing a contrast to the food items.

- l'idée délirante du PDG de Total selon laquelle la crise climatique ne fait pas partie de la « vraie vie » a été accueillie avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme par de nombreux chefs d'entreprise français, qui se réjouissent de tout retard dans la transition vers le développement durable
- les citoyens ne consomment pas de gaz ou de pétrole, mais ils ont des besoins en matière de transport, de logement et d'alimentation
- des solutions décarbonées existent et des modes de vie moins gaspilleurs sont possibles, mais les gouvernements ralentissent activement leur déploiement youtube.com/watch?v=jRpwqCgjop…

Does anyone have good suggestions for cloud storage for photos?
Google Photos and iCloud are common suggestions, but closed-source, and I'd really rather avoid Google.
Edit: I settled on Ente. Thanks to everyone who suggested something!

The image features a small, cylindrical tower model constructed from light purple foam blocks. The tower has a hollow center and is adorned with wooden planks forming a spiral staircase and platforms. The structure includes several small, square windows, enhancing its castle-like appearance. The tower is placed on a weathered wooden table, with a pinkish-purple hue cast over the scene, possibly from ambient lighting. In the background, a brown couch with a floral-patterned cushion and a potted plant can be seen, adding to the cozy indoor setting.

The image features a small, cylindrical tower model constructed from purple marshmallows, resembling a castle. The tower has multiple levels with open windows and wooden planks serving as walkways. The base of the tower is wider, tapering as it rises, with a small entrance at the bottom. The structure is placed on a wooden table with a distressed finish, illuminated by a purple light, creating a whimsical atmosphere. In the background, a couch with a dark blue cushion and a potted plant are visible, adding to the cozy setting. The overall scene is indoors, with a warm and inviting ambiance.

The image features two miniature structures made from small, light purple blocks, resembling bricks, with wooden elements. The structure on the left is a rectangular building with a flat roof, featuring a door and three windows. The structure on the right is a cylindrical tower with a spiral staircase and an open interior, showing a more intricate design. Both structures are placed on a wooden table with a weathered finish. The background includes a couch with a blue cushion, a potted plant, and a lamp, suggesting a cozy indoor setting. The lighting casts a purple hue over the scene, enhancing the colors of the structures.

The image shows a model of a castle-like structure made from small, light purple blocks, resembling bricks, and wooden sticks. The structure consists of two main parts: a cylindrical tower on the right and a rectangular building on the left. The tower has a round shape with a small window and a hole near the base. The rectangular building has a flat roof with wooden planks forming a bridge-like structure connecting to the tower. The walls of the building are incomplete, with some sections missing blocks, giving it a partially constructed appearance. The model is placed on a weathered wooden table, with a couch and a potted plant visible in the background. The lighting in the room casts a pinkish hue over the scene.
