Going to become president with my slogan “ICE is basically the communist Stasi”
part of the reason I’m bullish on formal anti-ICE messaging and don’t anticipate a cooling off of the sentiment like “defund the police” is that there’s no ICE equivalent to this. the police, for whatever you think of them, are something people consider part of daily life. ICE isn’t like that!

Ozara Ichiro getting ideas
I love Google AI because you’ll ask a fiddly question like “who is the oldest living UK Cabinet Minister” and the result starts with “well, that’s not what I really asked for but fine, sounds plausible” and that immediately shifts to “Zombie Ted Heath, apparently an early Church Father.”

Regardless of merits it’s kinda funny how the discussion of the legal case around the ban has acted to corrobate the occasionally mentioned “Instagram reels feeds incorrect information to people“ thing
it appears an aspect of social media has decided that the High Court will strike down the acct ban because “it infringes on the covenant of the right of the child“
Which isnt what the challenge is about nor is this how treaty law works in Australia but okay

Take that might be stupid - i've seen it claimed by some (including Alastair Campbell) that Takaichi Sanae dresses in a way that is a homage to Thatcher
