There’s that old saying that “the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money” but actually the problem with socialism is the capitalists will use other people’s money to bomb your country, kidnap your president, and then fund oil companies to run your government.

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

Dropdown and give me... nothing

yeah it's patriarchy flexing. at the root of fascism is rape culture.

i modded a cube to make it slightly curvier

To believe this, you would have to believe that everyone from Nixon to Reagan to Bush II was a We Are The World altruist snowflake. This man is just a Nazi, and by that I mean he is a straightforward Third Reich skull-on-the cap Nazi, and he is open and proud about being one.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

This is true but does highlight a pretty major problem, which is that the world is run by a handful of closely connected billionaire paedophiles, and all the cops who work for them are violent, misogynist gangsters. We might have made a mistake.

I’ll say this for Sir Keir’s Labour: they have been wonderfully revealing on what the actual limits of democracy are in Britain: it’s Thatcherism wearing a variety of different hats at home, and whatever America wants abroad. Don’t like it? Fuck you, we are not debating whether this is good or not.

Not wishing to dunk too badly but this seems wildly naive for a political journalist.

Now we have precedent, I think the US should kidnap Kier Starmer.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

Surely nobody is this stupid. *Yes*, we will say that: we will roar, screech, foam at the mouth and squeal, and if any notable says “Isn’t this a bit like the US kidnapping the leader of Venezuela” then our politicians and media outlets will unify to scream abuse at them, too. Yet again!

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

i believe that Skeletor kidnapping He-Man and bombing Castle Grayskull is part of a calculated distraction from the release of the Hordak Files

Again, nothing can ever change for the better in Britain, until our newspapers are utterly destroyed.

How do you charge the batteries?

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

The UK is a bizarre country where its seen as just fine & normal for people to sleep in tents in the freezing cold. Temperatures to hit -4 this week But the idea Billionaires could be less rich. Not poor, not struggling, just a bit less rich, this is seen as extreme and radical

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

This kind of thing shows just how fake the whole "grooming gangs" fake panic is. When it's the richest men in the world, associates of the world's most notorious trafficker, building the child porn factory, it's crickets and concerns about where the bribes will come from if they upset him.

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

they should invent a year that's better than the one before it

Lol sure. Good luck with that lads

I just messaged Number 10 asking why the UK government continues to remain on X, a site producing and distributing CSAM, when that suggests that the people of the UK, through their government, are happy to endorse CSAM. Which we are most assuredly not.

Unironically, I really don't think the Lib Dems should associate themselves with a brand this toxic. Which feels completely insane to say given we're talking about the Lib fucking Dems.

It does look a lot like British democracy really is just ruthlessly enforced Thatcherism, regardless of what the public might want, imposed from above by fraud and often with menaces.

Pretending you don’t understand *and* falling over and pretending to be injured? And it’s only the second day of the year. Start as you mean to continue, if guess.

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Yet again a comfortably well off, straight, white man can not understand why Starmer and Reeves are so disliked. A mystery he will, apparently, never solve. Though I do enjoy the other (always men) joining in to suggest it must be Russian bots

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

It’s incredibly dangerous, obviously malicious stuff. It’s only a hop, skip and a jump from this, to: “extremist” ethnic populations protesting is intimidating and threatening Britons; “extremists” voting is threatening democracy; “extremists” being here at all is a threat to all white people.

I don't blame the people who claimed cancel culture on college campuses was the biggest threat to democracy and now want to denaturalize people over tweets. They're moral monster hypocrites who can't help operating in bad faith. I blame the credulous media who uncritically ran their endless op-eds.

As a general rule of thumb if someone holds a political position that the literal nazis also held I assume they are right wing and maybe also a nazi. I also can't believe people seriously believe they can hold nazi-aligned beliefs and aren't themselves right wing. Like, fucking check yourselves

I think Africa's top museums should acquire all treasures from the Louvre, its clear European institutes like this just aren't up to safeguarding European art www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is no general principle in conservatism beyond, I get to do what I want, and you get to shut the fuck up.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Who saw that coming?

I carry no candle for Corbs & would be the first to underscore his many fuck ups but it was ragingly clear *at the time* that JC was the compromise candidate & everyone who mattered went "lol no fuck you all we prefer to burn it all to the ground" & so here we now are
