My mum has a story of her playing hide and seek in Vienne while Russian soldiers were shooting at what remained of the Nazi army. Apparently she thought it was fun. Children are strange…

They somehow managed to choose the one thing actually worse than SAP. Added bonus for the shitty license audits and fines.

As someone who cycles, I sometimes think we should ban air bags and seat belts to level the playing field a bit.

We don’t need a new digital id, we need new ventilators for babies and bullet proof vests for soldiers. Or, being a bit more serious, why not use it to extend HS2

Sometimes you don’t get to choose. Belgium of all countries should know that.

I’m thankful I’m not American.

To be clear, my tyres were flat, even for summer weather.

Its true, I haven’t cycled for a while but will need to soon. Flat tires will have worse grip on the road, as far as I can recall anyway…

A 200% increase might mean from 1% to 3%. Also, this sounds a lot like blackmail.

Fucking hell, if those criminals are the elite of their kind, I dread to think what the shitty, incompetent criminals are like.

I hear that Ukraine is pretty good at making drones these days…

I don’t think it’s true that parents had time to cook in the 70s or 80s. Gen X are famously independent because both parents worked full time, aka latch key kids.

And then god turned him into a pillar of salt… Oh, wait… that was his wife.

Yeah, but if enough of us die…? To be clear, these tech-bros are truly evil, they will do whatever it takes to secure their wealth and lifestyle.

I have theory that the Republican party (note, not voters) is made of three very different factions:

• Christians hoping to bring about Armageddon and the end of times so they can get to heaven. How they hope to get to heaven by supporting Trump is beyond me. In the mean time, they’ll settle for Christian theocratic dictatorship.
• Atheist tech-bros that can see the environment is going to shit. Their plan is to remove as many people as possible to reduce the impact of humans on the environment, replacing them with AI and robots as needed.
• Old, oil connected and/or corrupt politicians that just don’t give a fuck so long as they get a fat pay cheque. They are too rich and old to ever feel the consequences of this administration.

While they have wildly different motivations, they seem to agree on letting people die serves their goals.

How is this better/differentthan pihole?

Are there news media not owned by the far right?

Much like alternative medicine, if its true, its a fact, otherwise its bullshit and/or propaganda.

Not a big fan of wrapping myself in bog roll, terfs or pumpkins, so its either magic or ghosts. Magic it is then!

I was thinking about this - with this level of gerymandering, is it not thr the case that there is an inflection point at which just a small change in votes can cause a large number of seats to flip?
