  @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Here in the UK, after they have been awarded a huge MoD contract to add to their NHS and police contracts, Palantir's ability to access sensitive defence information is a feature, not a bug. Between Palantir and Oracle and the new age-gating two tier internet, everyone is going to be logged in and spied on all the time.

  @Silversnapples@mastodonapp.uk His weakness and complicity has paved the way for what is likely to come. This dark path he talks of was his task to prevent and he failed by sitting on the fence and pandering to the far right. You don't beat your political enemies by meeting them on their ground, you outflank them by being where they are not, by being what they are not, by being better not by copying what your opponent is doing, only with less conviction.

  Those cuttings I took a couple of years ago of the clematis seem to have done rather well in the deep clay silt soil at the bottom of the allotment. #Gardening #Allotment

  @TJ1001@mastodonapp.uk The fact that they fell for it the first time means they will fall for it again. We've seen it happen in the US, we are seeing it happen here. Lobbyist money, media, social media bubbles working on tired, scared, ignorant voters.

  I've been trying to decide whether to buy a pannier top bag for my bike. Being an avid scavenger, I always keep my eye open. On the way back from Lidl I saw this little gem chucked in an old flower bed on the street. Good condition, practically new. Why do people chuck this kind of stuff away? Mine now. #Cycling #Life

  @MyWildlifeAllotment Damn, and that would be a lot of watering too. We have had warmth/sun then rain so everything is greening up fast and even flowering early. I like this time of year, when the growth and colour is there but before it's gone wild and I regret planting so much.

  @ShredderLivesOn Labour does U-turns, Farage distances himself, Starmer has his resets. Worst Haiku ever.

  @GhostOnTheHalfShell @tzimmer_history Trump was meant to be no more than a wrecking ball to implement Project 2025 for the Heritage Foundation. The billionaire fossil fuel lobbyists within the Atlas Network will exploit all the resources this world has for profit. They think they can use Ai to run things in a new world where poverty has been eradicated because the poor people have all been killed off. There very much is a plan, but its not Trump's.

  @clemens This is a great tool. I think Ghostery also do a 'never consent' on their plugin that works pretty well too.

  Pics from the yarden as spring brings more growth. I've moved stuff on to better, bigger pots that I've found in back alleys and given the old pots and troughs to the local nursery. Its nice to have things clean, tidy and growing. In June this will be a forest. #Gardening

  @leavex@mastodon.social The UK government is eager to bring in online ID, a VPN ban etc, ostensibly to protect children online and yet the vast majority of MPs and gov officials continue to use X or FB, the very platforms guilty of promoting online harm. It's not about protecting anyone, if they had any morals they would leave.
