The fucks I give about Palestine come WAY after the fucks I give about America. Apparently you don’t feel the same.

Do you think that’s justifiable? Only one of those nations has lost 5-10% of its population to US-funded bombs in less than 2 years. I would’ve thought it was obvious which nation is more in need of your fucks right now.

Things are getting worse in the UK in terms of wealth inequality, living standards, civil rights and democratic freedom.

Exactly. They won’t be happy because they’re not helping people, they’re fucking people. And they are, ultimately, regardless of whatever fantasy they cling to, people. Just like the people they are starving. If one of us is chained, none of us are free, they just don’t realise it.

You got a better idea?
Democracy is built on this shit. This is a clear attack on an elected official’s mandate. And it’s more or less the limit of what the people can do to express their discontent in modern civilised society. Or would you rather we just stayed home drinking wine and watching Love Island while our rights are eroded?
My friend you need to have a look around. Are you a fabulously wealthy while man? No? Then you’re on the same side as the trans youth, whether you like it or not.

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

Richard Feynman

So, if, during the apocalypse, you have access to a means of passing on a message to the poor bastards who have to live in the New World, it should be this:

“Everything is made of atoms”

You are under informed

Hierarchy!

Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

History didn’t start on October 7th. “Hamas was the aggressor” is a false statement. Hamas is one of the belligerents in a war of occupation that’s been going on for a long long time.

I cannot believe that hatred disgust toward Jews anyone who supports the genocidal regime of Israel is celebrated here… It’s disgusting

I love to criticise the government, I do it quite a lot. But one thing the UK gov does really, really incredibly well is its website. The gov.uk pages are one of the most intuitive and informative things to browse on the internet. It really is excellent AS IT IS. It ain’t broke is what I’m saying.
So on top of all the very valid concerns about AI accessing the information of i.e. desperate citizens looking for legal help in dire, highly private circumstances, I’ll be mourning the loss of a formerly excellent resource.

why is a Labour MP regurgitating industry lies?

Real head-scratcher, that one. Reeeeal brainteaser. An honest-to-goodness Labour MP? Shilling for think-tanks? In this economy? On Christmas Eve, in the rain?
Surely not. Because that would mean…

We have no valid voting choice as people on the left who care about progress and compassion and social justice, and haven’t since the 1970’s. Different flavours of Thatcherite neoliberalism are the only thing anyone under 50 has ever known, and the seemingly endless inertia of that failed ideology within the class-captured, self-reinforcing, closed system of government means it’s likely all we’ll ever know

Probably just a coincidence.

A lot of GB isn’t either, to be fair.

“brevity is the soul of wit”

~Shakespeare

“Um actually, wit is actually a subjective phenomenon, with everyone having a different idea of what it actually means. How could such a construct actually possess a ‘soul’? And that’s not even getting started on the assertion that souls actually exist in any real way”.

~Obinice

I’m on the spectrum so I can neither tell nor give a shit! The soundness of what you’re saying is most important to me.

Oh yeah, agreed 100%

She already had nine points on her licence, so she’s a repeat offender, hence the book getting thrown at her.
Conversely, this happened in Oxford, which is well known for being strict on drivers. She might have got away with it elsewhere.

I’m not sure I follow you. Can you explain

In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.

Yeah I feel this. “Failed experiment” implies, to me, that we should forget this avenue of thought and go back to what we had before.
“Outdated concept” might have been better?
Either way we’re all in agreement fundamentally
