NEW: Artificial general intelligence isn’t about curing cancer or American dominance. According to Open AI & Microsoft it’s about one thing – massive profits. And they’re engaged in a covert campaign to eliminate any regulation that might slow their path to consolidating power.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

It's not an "act of God" catastrophe. It's a man (and politically) made one. And a lucrative one, at that.

Doctors have the same right to strike as any other worker. A Conservative policy stripping that right away rather than fixing the root of the problem, could risk breaching international obligations. ier.org.uk/news/conservat…

I always had an issue with word limits and deadlines... (Plus, this year there's no beach or sea in sight and in store).

Greece is *THE* case study on total RoL failure, EU procurement and subsidies, cronyism mixed with predatory public-sustained neoliberalism (απ'τα Lidl), faux "meritocracy" mixed with far right populism, to name just a few areas ripe for research.

This is NOT NORMAL - Do Not Normalize This! Humans should not be subjected to this humiliation to get some aid to survive.

🧵1/13 Παιδί 5,5 ετών. Στο φάσμα του αυτισμού. Τραυματίζεται στο στόμα και στα δόντια. Ακολουθούν 36 ώρες αγωνίας, 6 νοσοκομεία, 4 πόλεις. Η μαρτυρία του πατέρα σοκάρει. Την ίδια ώρα, ο Υπουργός Υγείας ειρωνεύεται την ανάγκη για γναθοχειρουργό.⬇️

Not to get all academically, but we teach & learn in labor relations/labor law classes that the Canadian labour relations system is result of a complex balancing of many factors over decades. Pull on a string & the system responds, sometimes in unanticipated ways. 1/6 🧵

Of the basic compromise inherent in any regulatory labour framework that institutionalises collective autonomy. How come it's conspicuously only labour that needs to uphold their end of the "industrial and social peace" these days?

The number of Greeks unable to get a medical examination due to financial reasons is six times the EU average according to EU_Eurostat. Yet Health minister Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης claims the vast majority of Geeks are happy with national health service

“The framework of life in Greece today seems either to push young people to emigrate or to remain childless,” it noted.

It’s the big fat Greek farming scandal – devised by the political elite and paid for by ordinary people | Alexander Clapp | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Our fringe meeting is off to a start! RMT ‘s Eddie Dempsey says without sufficiently dissuasive sanctions for rogue employers and without sectoral bargaining, the ERB simply will not meaningfully transform working peoples’ lives.

No surprise there. Brilliant (and, importantly, relevant and impactful) work, focusing on real people and their lives - what law should be all about, in other words. Congrats Catherine Barnard , Fiona Costello 🧡, Sarah Fraser Butlin KC !

4 secs to go. Tight. Bleak. Another "honest giant". A real one. Who doesn't remember much of 2009's bronze; he was helping his mom sell trinkets at an open market in Thebes. Basketball is like life, though. A team sport. And it doesn't matter if you're down. It's how you react.

Starmer urged to make ‘populist case’ for workers’ rights reforms. Huge survey reveals employment rights policies are popular with public despite many not knowing about the Employment Rights Bill: theguardian.com/law/2025/sep/1…
