Rail passenger rights - Your Europe Train passengers' rights in the EU, in the event of delays and cancellations.

Amazon just turned every single Ring camera into a potential ICE camera for sending your neighbors to concentration camps.

You cannot convince me that AI advocates are not just spinning a wheel and picking the most super villain ass choices to go forward with.

“The would-be doll is encouraged to see herself not as a person with inherent worth but a collection of assets – lips, tits, hair, wits, followers, “designer vagina” – that make her marketable. Her self-worth becomes tied to how well she cultivates these assets to serve the interests of capital.”

If my YouTube feed is anything to go by, the slightly autistic young boys of America have no problem finding trains to hyper focus on. Admittedly, great big freight locomotives hauling mile-long rakes of containers for the most part, rather than, you know, two-coach Class 150 DMUs.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Heute vor 200 Jahren: Aus Baiern wird Bayern.

20.10.1825 König Ludwig I. ordnet als glühender Verehrer der griechischen Kultur die Schreibweise seines Königreichs mit griechischem Ypsilon an.

I agree with this and also we should be outraged with tech companies for directly enabling the decline of society. phone speakers have been getting better because they literally think this is what we want

Sorry but this is the funniest headline I will read all year

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse
