"Thank you, tire, for getting us safely to football".
Dutch car industry just reached a new low with this shameful and disgusting ad, using kids to promote their dependence on cars for activities they can do independently by bike.

O'Callaghan was told on the same day that he made the fireworks claim that fireworks were not the cause of the fire, but deliberate use of petrol.
"No correction has been issued to date by the minister."
But he has found time to announce charging fees and possible evictions of Ukranian refugees.

This is a complete scandal, and Jim O'Callaghan should have to answer serious questions about this. It's been days and he's still said nothing since the incorrect fireworks claim. FFG are committed to downplaying the rise of the far right in this country

Of all the dumb (or harmful, or just plain evil) shit the US' current regime has done, this isn't really anything.
The EU got rid of their one cent long ago. CGP Grey released "Death to Pennies" 13 years ago.

Interesting. So apparently MIT Sloan can publish an article claiming "80% of ransomware attacks are AI powered", and Safe Security can do the same. A billion press releases can cite it. But the second actual experts push back, suddenly "it's just a working paper, why would anyone criticize it 😭" 1/3
I've just heard from academics that the MIT piece was a pre-publication working paper that invited feedback prior to submission to an academic journal. It was not a final piece. They are baffled at the criticism. @gossithedog.bsky.social

One of the craziest examples of this is there was an extremely small transphobic account on Twitter. They kept repeatedly baiting the same journalist into giving them free coverage, amassed over 4.5 million followers, and became so influential that they got to have dinner with the president.
My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.
