It is not "ICE agents" who are being doxxed. The correct term is "criminals whose defence of 'only following orders' will not save them".

There is no "just a political disagreement".

Either you're "woke" or you're a cunt.

There is no in-between.

(No, of course those characteristics shouldn't make us any more privileged and any less at risk than others. But historically they have)

I mostly stopped caring about the quality of stuff I don't have source code for some time in the last millennium. It's just fundamentally unfixable.

I don't know if it's greediness or just rampant incompetence. They just seem to have no engineering discipline at all. And no shame.

Apparently it's not normal to have an Intel NIC with AMD CPU, an AMD GPU with an Intel CPU, an Intel IOMMU with an AMD CPU. Or some such nonsense.

They just don't care. I'd be ashamed to be part of their engineering team. Windows guests happily initialise an Intel IOMMU and then feed it MSI messages constructed for an AMD IOMMU, and they claim it's not a bug, and ask for "business justification" for fixing it.

Ian Hislop brilliantly explains which 'farmers' will actually pay 20% inheritance tax - the landowner’s name at the end will shock you. #ukpolitics

A few years ago I was in New Zealand and got 4am phone calls from MBNA on two *consecutive* nights asking if I wanted to do a balance transfer. Closed that card the moment I got home.

People who phone my mobile unsolicited will generally be greeted with the questions, "Where am I? What time is it for me right now?".

And when they don't know, I'll demand to know what was so urgent that they had to risk waking me at 3am instead of just sending email like a normal person.

Dear Santa:
When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom. Later, my parents divorced.
Soon after, my mother died in a car accident My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house.
Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died.
My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day.
My brother left home and won't talk to us any more.
Dad, now 74, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing.
Yours sincerely.
Prince William

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Alex Berghart mp at dispatch box.

So pleased Kemi B has chosen Alex Burghart as her stand-in at PMQs. She clearly understands how much people enjoy watching a shouty Tory Boy caricature getting his arse handed to him by Angela Rayner.

Yair Lapid, of the centrist Yesh Atid party and leader of Israel’s opposition, described the warrants as a β€˜reward for terrorism’.

I have to agree with him, Israel commit terrorist war crimes, and it got the reward, arrest warrants.

True, they should have had an exemption like this from the start.

This part seems eminently sensible. Most people know to give assets to their family when they expect to live for another 7 years. If these rules are changing, it seems reasonable to grant an exemption to those who are statistically likely to have missed that chance.

An international arrest warrant has been issued for Netanyahu.

If you want him arrested, Like.
If it needs to be right now, RT.

It would have been much better to call it off for now and try again with an actual plan, in a few years time.

And there was certainly no "democratic" reason not to do just that.

Even if it made sense to leave the EU, it didn't need to happen then, after the government had spent three years incompetently frittering away the negotiating time without a plan, even coming up with ideas like the backstop, agreeing to them, then going back on their word.

Remember, we are a sovereign nation and we could have left the EU at any time we wanted to.

The Scots waited a little bit longer, came back with a better plan that actually had enough public support, and got their devolution.

By 2019 the result of the referendum HAD been respected, despite the fact that they didn't need to. We had the right to choose what to do next; whether to proceed. There is no sense in claiming that the 2016 result binds MPs' choices three years later; it didn't even bind them at the time.

But you don't send a negotiator in with a blank piece of paper, signed and postdated three years. It is absolutely right and proper that they come back to us with what they've negotiated, for us to approve (or reject) it.
