Wikipedia's source for the product's official name, Microsoft 365 Copilot, is an article calling the brand relaunch a total disaster.

Remember, if you're an LGBT radio station in the UK, Ofcom will read you dead to rights, but if you're a US tech company who've created a child porn machine, it's just wringing hands about a potential issue of compliance

suboptimal for the Government to define 'freedom of speech' as the freedom to create and distribute child pornography
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

Well thank god the OSA closed all those cycling forums and forced obtuse photoID on operators, or else we'd have a real issue with CSAM
Keir Starmer's spokesman asked if Government will still use X now it posts indecent images of children, replies "we always keep communication channels under review to reach public in most appropriate way possible”
"Operators are under obligation to act appropriately. We always hope they would do"

The labour line on indecent images of children is "we hope it stops but we will continue to finance it"

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Legendary: Success] - That trans girl mutual you think is so cool? The one you have a huge crush on? Yeah, I have some bad news for you buddy. She's taken. She's dating a
*she/they*
. That *she/they* is on here too and
their blog consists entirely of the most unfunny normie reblogs you have ever seen in your life.
Some real "what is Harry Potter was in the
TARDIS" type shit.
YOU - Oh, no...
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Legendary: Success] - And they're *monogamous*. They're
monogamously e-dating. They call each other "my wife" sometimes too so it's hard to tell but they might actually be monogamously e-married. You can fix her. Only you can save her. Slide into her DMs right now.

my rule of thumb to understand Scottish politics is that if you only ever hear from people who work for Labour, you're hearing a perspective that's on suicide watch right now, and if you hear from someone who works in the Tories or Reform you're hearing a ramblings of mad men

the biggest winners of the current Trump regime will be the Best Picture and Best Actor/Actress noms in about 20 years when we start getting shoot-and-cry movies about how hard it was for the US troops to murder Venezuelans

One of the biggest geopolitical shifts in the last 15 years has been that the US became one of if not *the* net exporter of oil, and that has broken a wide range of people's brains

One of the most maddening things about our current government is the way that they seem to think that if you find the right ambiguity of framing, they can continue to have it both ways and be everyone’s friend indefinitely.
Darren Jones is asked if the US bombing Venezuela & abducting its leader was lawful
Jones says he won't give a view on the action & he goes on to say its not up to politicians to make judgements on international law. Phillips points out thats exactly what they've done on Ukraine

so basically the US captured Maduro and Flores and are talking about how they will 'run' Venezuela but there's no occupying army in Caracas and the whole thing seems to be running on some kind of map game logic that capturing the leader means you win

if anyone wanted to violently kidnap Starmer and prosecute him for something random in your country, I'm afraid there's nothing we'd be able to do to stop you, since he's a lawyer and he says that's fine as long as the head of state is unpopular enough

Stuff like this is just ghoulish in how glib it is - Tehran, a city of nearly 9 million, has no water that isn't imported and is being abandoned by its government to rot. The average American still lives in unimaginable abundance that costs more
So you're telling me they're upset with how unaffordable everything is? Wow you don't say! Good thing no one in America is upset about that!!!
