The same people who said that the mass murder of children in schools was a sad but necessary price to enable citizens to bear arms and oppose tyranny are now saying that if you carry a gun it’s your fault if you’re murdered.

I know the Orwell quote. The admin repeatedly saying "what you saw on multiple videos is not what you saw" is still fucking shocking, every time.

Hi @sturdyalex.bsky.social Do you think it's possible that enough Tory MPs defect to reform to make the liberal democrats the official opposition?

Not unrelated, but I've been increasingly amused by the slop enthusiasts' claim of "you'll get left behind of you don't learn how to use it now" of interfaces that're supposed be intuitive and allow us to interact with technology in a natural way. If it worked, we literally wouldn't need to be told.
