As a man, nothing will turn you into a radical feminist faster than the first time you're shown the twitter mentions and DM requests of literally any woman on the internet.

We don't need a Joe Rogan of the left. We need Bryan to see what his sister's LinkedIn Message Requests folder looks like.

This section of Gerald of Wales' The Conquest of Ireland in which he praises his own family is essentially the Theme from Shaft.

Besides the obvious Nazi comparisons, this far more closely resembles the looting of personal property of Turks and Greeks on the wrong side of their postwar border, and of Hindus and Muslims on the wrong side of the Partition, and of Jews expelled as revenge for the loss of the 1st Arab-Israeli War

Labour MP Simon Opher - "We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel.

"Measures that create bureaucracy and insecurity do not offer clarity or strengthen control – they cost money, waste time and weaken the system."

Nope, let's not wait for other details. It's inhumane whether or not there are safe routes and I won't vote for a Labour Party that brings it in.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

This reads to me like (at least as far as WhatsApp is concerned) it's only if you interact with the AI. Could be wrong though!

How does this work with end-to-end encryption? They're fond of saying "No one, not even WhatsApp, can read your messages". Is that bullshit?
