California is ordering state agencies to start clearing out homeless encampments

Gov. Newsom is encouraging cities and counties to do the same. The move comes a month after a Supreme Court ruling made it easier to force people to move even if they have nowhere else to go.

Rupert Murdoch, the king of right-wing disinformation, is suing his own children to forcibly control what they can do with his media empire after his death.

He is so committed to reactionary bullshit that he's trying to run his companies from beyond the grave.

If only people on the center-left were this passionate about media and democracy!

Alt link for NYT story: https://dnyuz.com/2024/07/24/the-secret-battle-for-the-future-of-the-murdoch-empire/

Mr. Murdoch, 93, set the drama in motion late last year, when he made a surprise move to change the terms of the Murdochs’ irrevocable family trust to ensure that his eldest son and chosen successor, Lachlan, would remain in charge of his vast collection of television networks and newspapers.

The trust currently hands control of the family business to the four oldest children when Mr. Murdoch dies. But he is arguing in court that only by empowering Lachlan to run the company without interference from his more politically moderate siblings can he preserve its conservative editorial bent, and thus protect its commercial value for all his heirs.

Those three siblings — James, Elisabeth and Prudence — were caught completely off-guard by their father’s effort to rewrite what was supposed to be an inviolable trust and have united to stop him. Remarkably, the ensuing battle has been playing out entirely out of public view.

I'm not sure why moderates are all shocked that both the Reform lot and the GB News lot are celebrating police kicking in people's heads and giving them cysts on the brain, and urging for more of the same, when they've been agitating for this for the past three years.

Also, unlike what they all tell you, they love the state's apparatus as much if not more than moderates do - but they believe they've been corrupted by their long list of boogeymen.

The Affordable Connectivity Program started during the pandemic, and helped low-income families in the U.S. pay for the internet — but in May, it ran out of money. Now 23 million households are having to adapt, with 3 million cancelling their service completely once the ACP stopped. The other 20 million are trying to find up to $75 a month to pay for a service they now can’t be without. From reducing groceries to cutting back on heating, @cnet spoke to some of them to find out how they’re adjusting.

Hi Peeps we found this little guy struggling to cross the road (they were ½ way across & not making much progress.

I’ve given him some cat biscuits & there is a bowl of water in the box .

Can I just release them into our rewilded garden & put food out of an evening ?

Any advice gratefully accepted.

EDIT: UPDATE ….

First thanks to everyone who responded!

We have found a Hedgehog Rescue Peep about 20 minutes drive from our house.
A lovely lady named Anne has taken Henri in to check for parasites etc & then feed up.
Henri is a tiny thing weighing in at just 184g! His/her (yet to be determined - our Henri is very shy ! ) target weight is 500g .

We have plans to get a proper hog-house (since my wood working skills are limited to shelving & minor repairs) & then Henri can enjoy our re-wilded garden!

Expect updates on the Hashtag #HenriHog once we get more info.

I think the hog whisper is probably the best option, they'll be able to get the little critter fighting fit for winter, but if you think there's more in the area, investing in a little Des Res would be a great idea.

The question is, what will Labour do? Is it tax rises, or deficit funding to stimulate the economy?

The reason the "hippies" were so derided in the media and wider culture is primarily because they rejected a Capitalist Narrative. Not because they were into free love or dreamy music. Because they rejected and challenged capitalism.

They were right in doing that. We need to re-embrace this idea, and live in rejection of the commercial imperative.
