  • It's less of an indictment on the Greens, than the current state of politics and the world. Dismantling the current economic system, which creates the conditions for poverty, would be a massive undertaking for any political party.

  • I think we're looking in this at too much of a functional level. Voice notes can be a momento from a loved one. I wish more of my friends and family used them because one day they won't be around and I would love to be able to hear their voice again.

  • For the people voting this down, this article highlights an important issue, which is that women aged 55 and over are at growing risk of homelessness.

    Even more worrying for Sandra is the prospect of joining the fastest-growing group of people experiencing homelessness in Australia: women aged 55 and over.

    Sydney-based Bacon has particular concern for the rising number of women facing homelessness in their older years.

    She says this is because women typically have about 25 per cent less superannuation than men, due to the gender pay gap, which flows onto a gender retirement gap and motherhood penalty.

  • According to the article, he has spent the last four years living in the UK, so it's not that unreasonable to expect that's where his support network is.

  • I am surprised there hasn't been more uproar about this. I only heard about this whilst listening to Novara Live, and I worry about the precedent it sets when someone who hasn't been found guilty of committing a crime, can be stripped of their birth citizenship. To make matters worse, the government refuses to disclose the reason:

    The evidence underpinning the revocation of Bullen's citizenship has not been made public by the Home Office "in the interests of national security".

  • Or get better at vetting their candidates, and I say this as a fan of party.

  • Though hopefully they are only falling out of love with big tech social media, as I'd love to see the Fediverse thrive.

  • Also aren't all news outlets partisan? All news outlets have an agenda, it's just that some are more upfront about it.

  • She alleged it was orchestrated by members of the Jewish community, yet there is no mention from the police that those arrested are part of the community.

    After four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green were set alight on March 23, Ms Olawoyin had suggested the incident could have been orchestrated by members of the Jewish community.

    Five people have now been arrested in connection with the attack. On Wednesday, the Met confirmed two British men, aged 19 and 20, and a 17-year-old dual British-Pakistani national, had been detained at separate addresses in east London.

    Two British men, aged 47 and 45, were arrested last week on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life and have been bailed until later this month.

  • What Lemmy client do you use? I've tried searching for details on how to filter posts by the publisher or domain, but couldn't find much. You'd hope some clients offer this feature.

  • A lot of pubs in the UK do serve food, and often they have provisions for families including changing tables and high chairs.

  • For me the similarity is that this is the most disruptive event to travel and the global economy since the COVID-19 pandemic. I have a friend who's had to cancel their trip to Europe because their stopover was in the Middle East. I'm also reading about people being encouraged to work from home.
