Pfft

If you have something of substance to say (coherently), I’m happy to listen.

I’m torn on this one, because I think we are complicit for not doing the basics of deleting our accounts. We learned about how powerful boycotts are in school as teenagers.

I get that they buy up all the competition, but for most people these are luxuries rather than essentials.

Not British myself, but this is one of the most tenacious abuses of power I’ve seen in Britain.

I don’t think the EU will fail functionally. It has already failed morally and legally.

I couldn’t have said it better. Some people are genuinely not suited to it without other interventions first, but for everyone else, it’s basic mental hygiene.

Can you look the other way while we do business-as-usual with genocidal entities? That’s the main requirement these days.

Until the far-right lead the dominant EU players such as Germany & France. We’re already up to our necks in genocide so I see no reason to expect basic decency in this context either.

This seems to mean that Meta can’t have the case dismissed. So I’m guessing that other companies who can demonstrate similar downloading patterns, or present similar evidence can also bring a case forward.

I’d imagine that the outcome of the case will be more telling.

Those don’t seem like seismic changes, but if the pace continues it could be significant. My main worry is that we end up with equally shitty companies just under a different jurisdiction.

He is funded by US/Israeli billionaire Robert Shillman, so likely already has more money than he’ll ever need. The point of asking for donations is likely psychological manipulation: when people “buy in”, it’s harder to leave the cult.

You know that leading with benign parts doesn’t successfully hide the contradictions and unhinged parts later, right?

Whose manifesto reads better?

Nobody seems to want to grapple with the problem of local white Britons being absolutely out of pocket.

Zack Polanski does, and he’s the only one doing it credibly. Check out his Bold Politics podcast if you’re interested.

We need to make a “He gets us (pregnant)” parody.

The days of Having friends to make sketches like this with were so cool.

120! At least it sounds possible from what you’re saying. I doubt I’ve ever gotten to level 10.

Yes, but I think radical reforms have been needed since he took office haven’t happened. They’ve gone backwards in some cases.

He has also broken ten of his election promises, IIRC. So I’m basically saying that when a laggard like himself complains, it has less credibility.

Thanks gods Starmer is on the case /s

the fading embers of my faith in humanity

I feel seen.
