I was just thinking, will the Conservative party take the same path as the Republicans and merge with our MAGA? Or, will their encounter with Boris Johnson be enough of our MAGA?

I wonder what he had to give up in the plea deal.

That's the trouble with public service broadcasters, they are not immune from political interference.

Jeremy Corbyn got it right, rather than make the controller a political position make them accountable to a independent body. This should go some way to repairing the BBC's bias problem.

It won't happen though they are too good a propaganda outfit. Who for? The establishment. Whichever party is in power. So, you want to change the BBC? You need to change government.

And for those that advocate abolition, at least with the current system, you have one lever of power. Good luck in influencing Rupert Murdoch to sway his reporting.

it's kind of ironic, Tories shopping at a store run on market socialist grounds: worker co-op.

I don't tend to rely as much on Valve's compatibility rating as I do ProtonDB's. Even though it takes extra steps.

Conservatives: "Hey want to hear a joke?" Transphobia

Followed by hur hur hur.

Also known as "a cycle of violence". Or " hurt people, hurt people" But at what stage is it someone's responsibility to break this most vicious of cycles?

Then they'll have a situation no better than Columbia. The deal is we won't protest if you divest. If either party reneges on that deal we go back to where we were before the deal. That's the consequence of saying "no".

I guess it's time to vote. I mourn the loss of STV.

They mention the afraid Jewish students, but they didn't cover any Jewish protestors. It makes it seem that you can't be Jewish and protest against the Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing. And protest for BDS.

Slightly off topic, but wasn't there a general purpose boycott app? One that allowed one to figure out the political stance behind products. Initially it was marketed as the anti-woke app, but further investigation showed that anti-woke was only one profile of many you could subscribe to.

On one hand she says: "No more identity politics." And the other she says: "I am a Christian"... Do they even proof read their copy!?

Hello, I'm looking to purchase this film. Unfortunately, it looks to be unobtainium. Does anyone know where one may get a copy?

Almost... Another way to see it is they burdened future generations as an expedient measure to save the lives of the people now in the past. Another another way to look at the bomb is preventing another world war.

An interesting historical point is Japan had largely been defeated by the time the bombs were dropped. And they had the option to bomb an uninhabited (or very lightly) part of Japan's territory as a show of force. But, instead they specifically chose to irradiate civilians.

While I'm no fan of the crippleware, I don't think this product from them would effect your average gamer. It looks to be focused on beta testers and reviewers.

But, knowing the human's facility for laziness, odds on it will filter into general release.
