Absolutely. I've seen these in both directions of alarmist fear stoking and it genuinely just makes people miserable more than involved

Real estate investors bought one-third of all single-family residential homes sold in the second quarter of 2025.

I think some time last year there was a downright horrendous example of this with the BBC

If you look at the comments, you'll see the occasional "No, this is not propaganda, the Insurrection Act is from the '92 riots so it's contextualized *in* the article"

But the thing is, news corps know (more than anyone) how low the matriculation from seeing a headline to reading actually is.

Considering I type only really using my pinkies for shift, enter, and control, etc, and sometimes not even my ring finger, wasd is genuinely partly reflective of my typing stance.

I suppose a minor consolation to all the scary maps that show Reform Sweep, is that we just had Labour Sweep and they've not only manged to lose it instantly, but also like what have they managed to actually accomplish as longstanding law? The sweep and subsequent "mandate" were hollow.

I frequently forget Carlisle isn't already in Scotland

I keep telling people I think the SNP should just start silently opening offices in Carlisle and Berwick upon Tweed

Email from the petition team, reading: The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content”. Government responded: Payment processors are able to choose who they process payments for, subject to any relevant requirements. The Government has no plans to intervene in those commercial decisions. The Government recognises the important role payments plays in supporting a resilient, diverse and growing economy. The Government is committed to ensuring that the UK’s payment system works for all, allowing businesses and customers to transact with confidence. The Government recognises that it is important for businesses to have greater choice in the forms of payment that they can accept. The National Payments Vision, published in November 2024, set out the Government’s ambition for a world-leading payments ecosystem, where consumers and businesses have a choice of payment methods to meet their needs. A key part of this ambition is the continued development of Open Banking, which enables consumers to make purchases using a wider range of payment methods, including account-to-account payments, thereby increasing competition in the payments sector. HM Treasury is working closely with the financial services regulators to deliver these outcomes. Decisions regarding which businesses payment processors contract with are a commercial matter, taking into account the relevant requirements on the firm. These decisions will be influenced by a variety of factors, and the Government has no plans to intervene in those commercial decisions. HM Treasury

The UK Govt responded to the petition (at 1:33am??)
and it's about as expected:

just don’t create a moderation list, bluesky said that’s bad

But if you're trying to convince someone in a country where there's little or no social safety net that this kind UBI is profitable, just be aware that ... it may be trickier to argue under scrutiny than you might think at first glance!

Maybe that would be a genuinely perfect review for the world to have

I was just on my computer looking at a text document I wasn't typing in, and I realized my left hand resting position was WASD with my thumb on the spacebar.

I think I need to be put down.

I saw the responses and the first one has me like hmm, and this one was where I was like yeah, this is not worth engaging, but I'm glad you did so we can really confirm it's a block-n-move-on

I'm in the discord already, and part of the "Content Creator" channel that lets us be pretty direct with questions, so I've got a pretty direct channel to the team, but I appreciate the offer.

I'd say that's a real factor for SOME people, but for most, Christian Zionism is ostensibly the same as some right-"zionist" stances in Europe. For some antisemites, giving Jews a country finally means they might "leave on their own"

Cheetos puffs is an invasive species. Learning the history of ""Walkers"" post buyout and transformation into an arm of Pepsico was probably the closest I ever got to feeling a bit of nationalistic revanchist spirit on behalf of Britain.

Good for her, failing upward into an Admiral Karl Doenitz situation

If I am voted Prime Minister of The United Kingdom, my platform will be to nationalize wotsits, water, and healthcare

KFC rebranded as WEST COUNTRY POULTRY

I don't even care that they'd probably give Pizza hut some cringefail britoid name like Cheeky Piz

I think in response to tariff threats, the UK should counter-threaten to nationalize Walkers crisps and every tendril of America's Pepsi-co empire in the country.

Imagining the wiki box for the Siege of Chicago where 5000 Texas National Guard members are listed as casualties of frostbite

Why is the Labour government obsessed with trying to prove the "Liberal Fascism" right wing dorks right? Did Starmer lose a bet to someone who said the nazis were not left wing like 30 years ago, and now he's trying to prove it's at least not a *terrible* argument??

r/sistersofbattle: belgium (27.62), pawg (16.35), prolife (8.59), cocaine (8.04), ratemynudebody (7.23). Conclusion: what???

this one to me feels like they're actually hitting the nerve that is... "Guys who play Skyrim as a female character, not as self expression, but with jigglephysics mods installed so they can stare at an ass for 200 hours"

nightlords kinda killed me just cause like none of the others are *pure* horny like this

they retconned Jizz, and some people don't think they retconned jizz, but true Jizzheads know the reality and won't be talked down by reactionary Jizzphobes

Reactionaries will tell you "Jatz predates Jizz" and that Disney hasn't retconned anything, merely stopped referring to the music at all.

But if there was a character named Cumm Dumpsto, and they just called him "that guy" and pushed an old identical alien named "Zapp Blasto" into the spotlight...
