My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being.

The Mamdani sign generator is an op to make us hate the iconography of a socialist win as quickly as possible by flooding the zone with absolutely unfunny nothing.
It is the weapon of our enemy and we do not need it. We will not use it.

Somehow none of these articles ever seem to mention that all of this antitrans rhetoric is coming from billionaire American mega 'Christians'.
🏊♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.
In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

It's WILD that Google rose and fell, as a service explicitly backed by advertising and at no point has it ever been able to do actual product search.
At no point could I search for, for example two inch black pumps in a specific size and material available in my region and get just that exactly.

As I age I want to grow into a kind of great Deku Tree or Grandmother Willow, a figure that the young-uns can come to in their times of distress and I will give them comfort, then wisdom, and then a knife, before sending them back out into the world to cause trouble for dragons and kings alike.
