Interesting insight into actual Israeli politics. And ISTM the headline is a bit misleading: the actual reason the bill has been set aside is that it complicates passing the budget, and if they can't pass it the government falls, and Netanyahu's case proceeds more rapidly, and he ends up in jail.
@sharonk.bsky.social Do you think the response to a sweep of antisemitic attacks in GTA will have political implications, particularly regarding the Jewish community? What do you think is the correct response from police and political leadership?
blue labour exists so the work of art that is the book title "tangled up in blue" can exist
yes, rob's party!
don't worry I can't either and this was a major hurdle initially learning Hebrew
@danwaterfield.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @puzzledbyadream.bsky.social dan I know what you're thinking but DON'T!
It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality. Did you ever stop to think that you can't leave for your job in the morning without being dependent on most of the world? You get up in the morning and go to the bathroom and reach over for the sponge, and that's handed to you by a Pacific islander. You reach for a bar of soap, and that's given to you at the hands of a Frenchman. And then you go into the kitchen to drink your coffee for the morning, and that's poured into your cup by a South American. And maybe you want tea: that's poured into your cup by a Chinese. Or maybe you're desirous of having cocoa for breakfast, and that's poured into your cup by a West African. And then you reach over for your toast, and that's given to you at the hands of an English-speaking farmer, not to mention the baker. And before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you've depended on more than half of the world. This is the way our universe is structured, this is its interrelated quality. We aren't going to have peace on earth until we recognize this basic fact of the interrelated structure of all reality.

well it would be difficult to be perfectly representative but it seems a shame that a bright working class kid can't make it there without a lot of luck
0.7% of accepted students at oxford were from NI, as were 0.8% of students from cambridge. NI is 3% of the UK. therefore NI is underrepresented. NI is the poorest country in the UK and has the poorest LSOAs and least socially mobile (according to POLAR) MSOAs in the UK. where are your stats from?
why not use NIR and SWIR with sentinel 2?
@danwaterfield.bsky.social dan you might find this interesting. also a bit related but someone recently wrote a LLM using only minecraft redstone you might like too
I would not say that Oxford or Cambridge represent britains diversity at large
Less student places tends to lend itself towards a more exclusionary admission policy as it is though?
About 4,000 students got that grade three times+ in 2025. But I agree we should expand the elite institutions anyway
We have empirical measurement of this, actually. The average American works 1,300 hours per year fewer than their predecessors a century and a half ago.
In addition to wage labor, it's worth looking at common appliances that save free time: washing machines, dryers, electric heating, etc.
@danwaterfield.bsky.social @puzzledbyadream.bsky.social Dan would you like advice on your site I asked chris if it would be patronising or not
She supports a secret third thing
@cjterry.bsky.social Dan defines the marker between proletariat and bourgeoise as 3.2k bluesky posts. I have 3.1k - mostly making fun of nute and Dan and you.
@cjterry.bsky.social @danwaterfield.bsky.social @deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @lines.snail.skin @tyron.bsky.social @marcharris.bsky.social Harris might like to hear the Jewish community of Hackney is pro housing development! Yimbyism continues at pace
@cjterry.bsky.social @danwaterfield.bsky.social @deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @lines.snail.skin @tyron.bsky.social could the next constituency for the Green Party be Charedi Jews? Chris particularly might be interested in this
Gorbals used to be called little Jerusalem and had over 10,000 Jews. The Jews I knew in Glasgow were from the gorbals and they migrated outwards to the suburbs over time
The Gorbals was once largely Jewish so you will like visiting there I think
@deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social to win elections, should the left abandon more of its principles and promise to radically cut taxes and shrink the state?
If being British means saying no to ice with a cool cider then I am American
Ice is actually nice. I don’t agree with matts genetic based racist politics but yes it would be nice to have water and ice sometimes and I know you are going to be like we Brits are tough and live without ice but yes we need to accept ice is better
I think his support is very concentrated he would have to be doing better than even now to get there
And where will people find the money to rapidly transition the entire economy away from oil? I am in favour of this move but I don’t think is practical to do in such a short span
@cjterry.bsky.social Dan has a wisbech nose whatever that is
It’s bad for the environment as well if the economy collapses
