Coder, musician and (maybe - one day), author. But that doesn't mean I want to see pointless/boring posts about archaic computers; favourite books; or opinions about who was the greatest guitarist of all time. So stop it!
This is what I love about the internet. The way you get fact-based discussion, rather than stupid "No you didn't/yes I did" arguments.
Were you looking for the five minute one or the full half-hour?

I appreciate you're being sarcastic - but:
- Musk incites far more hate, and the Gov't continues to use X
- The Gov't is happy to target nobodies, but utterly spineless when standing up to the "big boys"
- Free speech? Yeah, she's a racist shit-stirrer, and she's allowed to be

Hmmm, maybe. But...
Jenrick is devious enough to have set this up.
And Badenoch is certainly stupid enough to take the bait.

OK, this won't eliminate them, but it's quite satisfying to hang around golf courses, shouting "It's not a sport!", every time they're about to take a shot.
Q: Is it called a "shot"? That sounds a bit too sporty!

It's completely baffling that the UK Government, (or indeed, any UK public body), maintains a presence on X. By doing so, they are driving traffic to a fascist pornhub.
Write to your MP. Tell them they need to get off X. Here's a starter on how to do it:

Publishers seem far more inclined to publish a 3rd-rate, formulaic, uninspiring, piece of tat from a celeb, than risk taking on someone with a unique and inventive story to tell.

When do we reach a tipping point?
- When we have drained the planet of finite resources?
- When the wealth has become so concentrated, people can no longer afford to buy what capitalists have to offer?
- Or when people see the con/misdirection?

Maybe they could "move fast" to Mars, (and inevitable suffer horrible, painful deaths), and leave the rest of us free of their BS.
The only thing Douglas Adams got wrong, in H2G2, was thinking middle-managers needed to be launched into space. The greedy oligarchs should be the first to go.

I've watched 3 different videos, including one by the NYT, who analysed time-synced footage from several videos. They concluded there was no attempt to run over the agent, and he was in no danger. It looks pretty conclusive, but yeah, a court should decide. But will it get there?

Channel 4 News, 7pm, is my go to news source. Given up on the, ("everything must be both-sided"), BBC.

No one wants to prevent the BBC from showing it. In fact they *should* show it - as one more example of what happens when you elect a lying fucking sociopath as president.
The problem is: they do it under the name of "balance". They're "both-siding" cold-blooded murder by an ICE agent.

Jeremy Bowen is, without doubt, one of the greats. And whilst the BBC have done many stupid things, even they wouldn't be so stupid as to get rid. Surely?
