I find this article to be a bit disingenuous! It assumes that those pushing for regime change in #Iran ( #US, the #Zionist entity, #UK, #EU) are *actually* interested in it being a democracy! The list of countries where US #Empire has #overturned democratically elected governments is *legion*! They don’t care if the incoming regime is a dictatorship; they only want obeisance to the Imperium!

Are there any places in #London #UK that offer drop-in child minding, either as a standalone service or as part of a museum/science centre/cafe visit? I'm thinking something like at Ikea, or the Pavillion of Knowledge in Lisbon (at least when we visited in 2019, there was a staffed children's play area that allowed us a bit of a break). We could really use a few hours of child-free time on this extended #holiday. #travel #parenting

Please boost for reach.

“Acts including Kneecap, #BrianEno, and #Garbage have signed up for the group, which was announced on the back of a documentary by campaign group Led By Donkeys about the work of a pro-Israel group that is silencing activism on the situation in Palestine”

Any other UK business people and FOSS lovers seen the HMRC changes coming to how business taxes are filed?

> From 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software. This means we'll be closing our web and paper-based systems for account filings on that date.

At a quick glance the lists of commercial software contains NO open source/libre options. Looks like a win for proprietary.

Please boost for visibility!

The #OnlineSafetyAct has been disastrous for small UK online communities and indepdent producers of adult content. If you’re in the #UK and want a web that’s not just for those companies big enough to afford verification services, please sign this petition against the act’s ridiculous overreach and hopefully persuade the government to rethink things. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
