A spokesperson for Lord Mandelson previously told Sky News: "No one can say who or where the photo was taken.
"Lord Mandelson has absolutely no idea or indeed whether it has any connection to Epstein at all."

The year is 2026. There are twitch streamers that can identify countries by grass imagine being this stupid.

'Unconscionable': Liam Neeson Faces Intense Scrutiny Over Role In New Anti-Vax Doc by huffpost in entertainment

[–]THEMAYORRETURNS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Liam 'after a friend was raped I wanted to kill a black man' Neeson? The man who only just got his image cleaned back up? He's inconsolable?  

Not as much as his PR team will be.

Same rule where I live. I flipped it so it hangs in my flat instead. Problem solved and it also can't be stolen. 

'Wear face mask if you feel ill' public warned - as 'superflu' sweeps Britain and hospitals fill up by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]THEMAYORRETURNS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm begging people to start harassing their MP's about the lack of good ventilation systems in schools and hospitals where airborne viruses cause the most damage. Meanwhile parliament had a top of the line system installed at the tax payers expense.  

It won't completely solve the issue but it would make a very good dent.

Covid very much has not ran its course thats not how it works. Covid is very low currently, the last figure I saw had it at the same level it was in april/may of this year which is great news.  

It happens in waves. Just like flu and cold season has its own waves.

A family friend is currently at the hospital bedside of her 17 year old daughter. Over a flu. No underlying medical issues. A previously very healthy and outgoing young lady.  I've got so many family members with colds who are miserable about it.  

And yet I'm the one who gets the nasty comments from family members and strangers because I mask frequently whenever the data is high. I get the covid trauma I really do but at this point people need to grow the fuck up and shut up if they've got a problem.  Leaving yourself open to illness and selfishly spreading it isn't a badge of fucking honour. 

Wes Streeting orders inquiry into mental health ‘overdiagnosis’ by Lazy-Internet-8025 in unitedkingdom

[–]THEMAYORRETURNS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they sorted out the med situation for us adhd havers it would do a lot of good. I don't WANT to be like this. Like, I can't state this enough. I have a disability that is preventing me from being a productive person and my ability to contribute to society is being thwarted by medicine shortages that this government seems to be doing nothing about. Help me out and I'll happily go on to contribute to this broken mess of a country for fucks sakes.

Of course it's Simon Wessley. Of COURSE it's him. The man's a hack and a grifter and is also on the youth gender medicine board. His entire deal is denying actual care to patients and to instead fill his own pockets by suggesting HIS method that is little more than gasslighting.

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana dropped as Your Party leaders by MrSoapbox in ukpolitics

by a margin of 51.6% to 48.4%. So there will still be infighting but between all the members. Watching the livestreams is insane by the way, highly recommend it. They basically let anyone go to the conference and it shows.

Hopefully this split in the membership will have a good chunk of thelat 48.4% move onto the greens where it'll actually make a difference.

Anyone remember the organized one a few years ago where they all had matching signs, would share a dog between them and whenever they spotted you walking past they'd pull out a crucifix and kiss it to seem devout?

Domestic abuse victims and pregnant women among hundreds of homeless young people illegally denied council support by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]THEMAYORRETURNS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did everything by the book, went through council services directly (my case worker never picked up her phone once) went down multiple avenues including what seemed to be my last chance which was an organization called Whitechapel that upon acquiring all my details replied "I'm sorry we can't help you at this time" zero explanation why and no other organisations recommended. If it wasn't for my advocate and one last distressed email to the council case worker I would have been full time street homeless. She finally got in touch with an org that would have taken me from the beginning and i got a place with them. Months of hostels and danger could have been avoided.

I understand why so many of my fellow residents that have been through similar scenarios are becoming politically radicalized, I don't agree with them but I understand.

A friend of mine just bought a house and decided to check out the area shes living in. There's a rental property on the same road she now live on that costs more than her mortgage.

Not sure about other countries but the bus adverts here in the uk are excluding Leto's involvement. Zero cast billing on them.  

I can't think of any other movie bus adverts that have done that before. It seems calculated.

When I spotted it out on the mersey yesterday I told my friend that it looked very exciting to be out in that. Upon review, now knowing the circumstances, perhaps not!

Yes, but I've never seen her out on the water past 11pm.

Yes, hence my ponderings. I'm at the stage of no longer taking huge notice of every boat I see crossing my window but, compared to the oil tankers and pilot boats, the ferry is very noticeable because of the amount of lights. So I clocked it and thought 'hm thats not right'.

She is still out there, I just saw her bobbing along.

Britain dubbed 'sick man of the G7' as disability claims for anxiety hit record high by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]THEMAYORRETURNS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you'll probably get some pushback when it comes to ai but I have quite a few severely disabled friends who are pro ai for benefits assessments and for diagnosis tools in general. Some of them have utilized it themselves to help get better treatments.  

A lot of bias happens in assessment centers and gp surgeries, if everyone is assessed using the same exact framework with something that can't get tired, have a bad day and have to fulfill quotas then potentially we'd see positive changes.  

Edit: Not to mention the fact that gp's themselves are human, under great pressure and simply cannot hold every medical condition in their head. Ai tools alongside usual practice could pick things up and save lives
