Who put you in charge of deciding a hierarchy of the worthy?

A parody sign posted on a London street near Big Ben shows an illustrated elderly woman wearing glasses and a badge that says “I OPPOSE GENOCIDE.” The text reads: “Have you seen this nan? We’ve been responding to a rise of grandparents opposing genocide on our streets. Though they are suspiciously non-violent, some of their cardboard signs may have sharp edges. Please stay vigilant.” The sign mimics official police warnings and is labeled with the “Metropolitan Police” logo

Signs are popping up around London after the UK government made it an arrestable offence to peacefully oppose genocide

Still not as bad as Microsoft Teams

For all the good that will do you with the UK’s broken first-past-the-post electoral system…

Should’ve fixed it when you had the chance.

So you prefer your cherrypicking to his arguably more representative example?

Europe has SEPA. I can transfer funds between different European banks in seconds. Australia has NPP. It’s not just Brazil that’s well ahead of the US on payments tech.

The Crazy Story Of Abandoned, The Game That Never Was It's becoming pretty clear that Abandoned has been...well, abandoned.

Abandoned was seemingly… abandoned.

You’d vote for the shittiest candidate, just so long as the brand on the box is the one you’ve been trained to have a Pavlovian response for?

You are incredibly stupid.

That it’s the law doesn’t make it ethically sound though, does it?

The church believing it is above the law of mortals is exactly how they were able to rape so many children and get away with it.

if you believe in the inexorable advance of human society under liberal democracy pay attention to the fact that we're basically bringing back a homophobic law from the 80s again because Harry Potter books were weirdly successful

Aside from it making recycling more difficult, more expensive, and encouraging additional car use, this is another reason why Ireland’s Re-Turn scheme is a supremely stupid and counterproductive con.

one of the most effective and highly bought corporate propaganda campaigns ever was convincing individual people that turning off the lights and recycling were the solutions to climate change and not dismantling corporate polluters brick by brick and demanding policy and regulation

People wonder why the BBC only showed Live Aid on BBC2, but what nobody remembers now is that there was an all-day concert on BBC1 raising money to make the famine much worse, for balance.

Naur, he’s just making fun of my naturally-occurring accent from his smug Irish perspective.

My husband’s been this husband.

I remember a time when all large bottles of Coke were Smooth Coke. They had a flat little cup glued on the bottom to let them stand up.

Israel says Glastonbury is weeks away from developing nuclear weapons.

Social media post reading "I'm sorry but there's certain things kids shouldn't see at pride. When impressionable l g b t q kids see gay bankers and cops flaunting their lifestyles at the parade, they get the wrong idea that queer liberation is possible within capitalism"

I find saxophonists wearing shorts extremely sexy.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

My Irish-bought DS1 is playable in Japanese.

PS5 games aren’t region locked, and I believe the game will let you choose the language (likely defaulting to the language your PS5 is configured for).

Who is? Nothing to apologise for, sir.

Although I’m going to have to continue to disagree, I appreciate the respectful exchange of views. Enjoy your evening.

Yes, you may be right here.

So, on an issue as morally stark as a genocide, you’re comfortable with a politician who consults the polling, rather than their moral compass?

You’re struggling to stay coherent. I’m going to leave you here.
