Watching Farage live introduce the Reform 'Economic Rescue Plan' something seemed amiss. He seemed tired, oddly flat & lacking his usual vim. Tellingly he riffed at length about the 2010 & 2015 UK elections & Brexit - as if he has become a nostalgia act reliving his greatest hits.

Great thread for UK tech privacy peoples

If Trump wants to rename a body of water, he should rename the Bering Straight. Because it's positioned between the US and Russia, just like he is.

Stay indoors you fuckin' morons. Stop endangering the lives of people who aren't even getting paid to save your ridiculous, selfish ass.

Once I used to have a job where I created user accounts for people. I was young. "A name is not automatically a person" was a lesson learned quite quickly. Why is it so hard?

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

And nothing of value was lost

The nation will be shocked that Reform absolves themselves from any wrong doing….NOT. Now let the police investigation complete and then arrest and charge as they find out the truth. Frogface hope you like bars with prison cells attached to them

The same Palantir that's got its teeth into the NHS and the National Grid in the UK?

DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

I promise, no matter what they say they are doing, Meta is using this to scrape everything they can find on your devices and recording everything you do or say. It is what they’ve done with every product they’ve ever released. Nothing of yours is safe if you use this, no matter how careful you are.

Would I recommend the Microsoft Teams app to a friend? Sure, but only so they could leave their desk whilst continuing to be abused by their employer.

Isn't it weird how Trump cancelled loads of wind and solar projects and rebates in the US before setting fire to the world's fuel refinery and inflating the prices of petrol and diesel for us all. Weird, I wonder why he did that.
