My kid has #asthma & a severe, life-threatening dairy #allergy. We’ve been fought by @wilcoxprincipal and now @TwinsburgSupt every step of the way to get our child a section 504 plan. I want my kid alive with access to aninhaler, not dead with a law named after him. #disability
This is a story about how school district administration will fight you every step of the way when all you want them to do is comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (#ADA), #IDEA, or #Rehabilitation Act. It’s a story about intentional delay and confusion they sow.
First, the school’s principal Mrs. Villa Turner and school nurse tried to talk us out of a 504 plan. They discouraged it saying an unenforceable “health plan” would be sufficient because the staff deals with this all the time and is “trained.” More on “trained” later.

As someone who’s involved with tutoring trainee Pharmacists calculations for the GPhC exam, I will say my piece. This will be filled with anger, the anger coming from witnessing, the mental torture @TheGPhC have had on multiple cohorts due to their repeated incompetence
My advice for trainees for the upcoming exam has been:
Give it your best
GPhC will ask questions based on expected knowledge of a 1st day Pharmacist
BTL will be better than PearsonVue

I’m man enough to admit my errors but boy did the @TheGPhC not fail to disappoint
Firstly I would like to discuss the repeated acts of incompetence, carelessness, empty apologies, lack of action and integrity from our regulator

Please see photos included of repeated apologies and promises to fix the online model

We're in a Climate & Ecological Crisis, Sixth Mass Extinction, a threat to us all. Fossil fuels, though they account for over 80% of carbon emissions produced by humans, continue to be widely used. That's massively destabilising our biosphere, yet our Parliament says/does nothing Image

Incompétence ? La part du soja dans l'alimentation des bovins français est de moins de 1%.

Et on ne met pas de néonicotinoïdes (puisqu'il s'agit de cela) sur le soja.

A incompétente, incompétent et demi.
J'ajoute, du haut de mon incompétence, que l'alternative nécessaire au soja brésilien, c'est de cultiver des protéines végétales ici.

Or, on ne peut plus assurer les récoltes de colza faute de moyens de traitement. Un tiers des surfaces perdues en 3 ans.

Qui est incompétent ?
C'est toujours la même chose. L'idéologie en bandoulière, l'incapacité à envisager les conséquences de l'idéologie. Oui, quand on détruit l'agriculture ici, on la déplace dans des pays qui ont des standards moindres.

Quelle surprise.

“Violence,” you say, “is the last refuge of the incompetent.”
I can only agree. It’s a great saying. Whose is it?
“Isaac Asimov, I think. I’m not sure.”
The science fiction writer?
“Yes.”
I love the guy. He said a lot of great stuff. Have spacesuit. Will travel.

“No, that was Heinlein.”
Ah. Right-wing libertarian Heinlein. I loved a lot of his stuff, too. Starship Troopers. Stranger In A Strange Land. Shame he was a right-wing libertarian.

“He was probably ok with violence, too.”
Shifting back to the topic of violence….
“Shall we?”
Why not? I agree with you.
“With me or Isaac Asimov?”
Either. Both.

@GeorgeMonbiot In these circumstances, we the people have almost no power. Our anger mounts with each #corruption and every #incompetence, our grief swells with the disastrous death toll - but we feel impotent to do anything. This is our #democracy at work.
@GeorgeMonbiot There are examples around the world of good practice in beating the virus, but our *government* fails to follow this good practice. Their failure leads to the tragic, catastrophic loss of life; to the overwhelming of the NHS, already seriously underfunded...
@GeorgeMonbiot ... through the last decade; and to the trashing of livelihoods already under the gravest of stresses from a reckless Brexit. The economy is in freewill.
It feels as if the choices our *leaders* make wilfully ignore the good practice of other nations. In these circumstances...

an old saw from Mike Parson’s campaign:
random rural yard signs to
applaud Mike’s designs to
continue his post-Greitens reign.
In this specimen Parson would take in
uninformed voters in County Macon. 1/2 🔥 #mogov 🗳️

as school districts may soon sink, not swim
in each piteous scene
of a mass quarantine as
new cases exceed counties’ brim.
Yet the venue’s the same:
still in Macon. Why no
mask mandate? Parson’s mistaken.

National Guard, unlike Mike,
at this moment works hard
citizens to protect.
Parson’s lies we reject,
evidenced by his COVID scorecard.
Folks still ask: why no #MaskUp
mandate? Parson’s post outweighs
the #ShowMe State.

#FFS! 🤦🏻‍♂️😱🤬
theguardian.com/politics/2020/…

Not so much "Farewell #Whitehall, hello #RedSquare?"* as rank #incompetence and a disturbing disregard of #NationalSecurity...

And those who've followed closely* will be aware of the Gov't #disinformation campaign about what turns out to be THEIR fault:

*Contrary to later spin about Corbyn, the documents first surfaced in JULY 2019... in the @Telegraph:
telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/…
While I'd be concerned about monitoring of *anyone's* #personal comms devices - #HumanRights are for everyone, after all! - @1Br0wn makes the excellent point that fixing this is not just about #security, but #usability:

"#Power" is certainly one framing; #incompetence & #hubris two others.

Like Chris, I reckon @NHSX has (finally) made the right decision - one that was quite obvious both pre-#GApple
medconfidential.org/2020/apps-for-… & after medconfidential.org/2020/gchq-and-…

... & the damn thing still has to WORK!
And this:



...though I think "lessons learned" may be a bit precipitant / generous to the Gov't in the circumstances. There's zero sign of (2) as yet, and active *avoidance* of both (5) & (6).

#WeThePeople are in big, horrible and #YUGE trouble because of #BadPlanning. I want to tell you a story - a modern day #parable.

Two cattle rustlers working on an #InsideJob to steal veal, decided to test their newfound Sharps Buffalo Rifle.
#RanchoDeluxe
The young rustlers' Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle test worked just fine - dropping one of the wealthy land-owning rancher's grazing steer dead with a single bullet of such tremendous caliber - "it blowed a hole in him you that could throw a cat through."
However, the folly of the rife-testing young and impatient American cattle rustlers became immediately apparent when a hair-raising #helicopter versus #car chase exciting ensued.

Blaming #Iran’s #COVID19 tragedy “solely” on #US_Sanctions is to overlook the #politicization & #securitization of epidemic in Iran & the politically motivated decisions that led to tragic death toll. It IS possible to condemn #sanctions AND IR’s #incompetence & #deceit (1/5)
Sanctions cripple economy AND healthcare; I’ve said repeatedly that not lifting them right now is a crime. But so was Iran’s willful #coverup & mismanagement & politicized refusal to act. Note: PPE &meds shortage is also a distribution issue, helped by State incompetence (2/5)
Ask health staff & they tell u about irregular distribution; no shortage in elite hospitals like Masih but overrun peripheral hospitals suffer. WHO #test_kits were irresponsibly used by ruling elite &families when ICUs need them nationwide. Gov failed to lead/manage crisis (3/5)

Bookmarking this. Trump is taking full ownership of the US economy. Says the current state of the economy is nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with him.

The truth is, the economy is slowing rapidly. Trump's tax cuts have been a huge failure. Feb growth will be <1%.
My latest on Substack:

Trump’s hot air alone won’t keep the economy afloat. And new data released on Friday illustrates how quickly the “Trump Economy” is plummeting back to earth. #SundayThoughts thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-trump-bo…
BREAKING: Tucker Carlson finally speaks the truth: @realDonaldTrump’s incompetence, CDC budget cuts and cavalier attitude about #COVIDー19 has left America unprepared for the #CoronavirusOutbreak—and the already-faltering #TrumpEconomy is too weak to absorb the hit. #TrumpSlump

You can't understand #JamalKhashoggi assassination without knowing the following:
1. The industrialized world's relationship with raw materials-producing nations like #KSA #SaudiArabia produces corruption on both sides
muslimmediareview.blogspot.com/2015/02/review…
2. The Arabic-speaking countries, for the most part, even if they don't depend on mineral exports, are dependent on similar relationships, often mediated through the wealth on neighboring raw materials-producing nations or security arrangements made to protect industrialized
nations' interests in the mineral-exporting nations or in the Zionist settler-colonialist project (Egypt. Jordan).

3. When thousands of youth in these nations revolted against these systems in 2011 & subsequent yrs, the industrialized world supported the regimes through military
