3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.

I do not think it should be controversial to say that the world’s more notable far right politicians - Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Le Pen, Farage, take your pick - are actively evil people with evil projects, pursued by evil means. Of course they are, they openly revel in it.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

And here's the kicker: Microsoft has terminated the M365 and Outlook access of international public officials whose official acts made Trump angry.

Say what you will about this method, but it is decisive: if you remove a vertical member and nothing falls down, you can be pretty sure that wasn't a load-bearing member. (This is a metaphor about AI.)

Libs think they are real people who have emotions and can feel pain and the rest of us aren't and don't. It's why they'll smugly state that people suffering and dying are a rounding error to be ignored but then screech when people are mean to them in response. They count, you don't.

You know what else can liberate the country from those problems? Long term thinking and competent governance. But those require hard work so the lazy neolibs are going to do shock therapy instead. Roll those dice and hope, because it'll be the 2029 election before anyone realises it didn't work.

They'll starve you when they deem you gluttonous, and they will force feed you when they deem you frail, and they will never, ever, for any reason, entertain asking what you think. Your judgment, after all, doesn't matter, because you don't matter. You are just an incompetent.

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

For fuck’s sake

The Government has until the end of the year to scrap the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. Lets get them out.

Yes, wouldn't want young people falling prey to unscrupulous influencers. Now watch as we outsource this whole idea to tech billionaires, journalists who've written about it but never done it, and startups that mysteriously appeared a week ago.

Don't know what message they want to convey but I know what message I'm taking from this: this government will never take climate change seriously.

“In the spirit of impartiality, Adolf Hitler consistently said Germany was not carrying out a holocaust” - BBC

grow up. it's not society's job to manage every conceivable thing that might make some idiot uncomfortable.

Something tells me that, when AIs 'went rogue' and this caused everyone to suddenly focus on AI and it's 'dangers' in a new way and stoke the egos of the billionaire psychopaths in charge of them, this probably only encouraged them to let these breakouts and hackings happen more, not less.

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

"[they] hope the courts get [them] out of it, but I don't think thats good enough.. the Labour Party have got to take accountability.. they should apologise & they should be the ones to deproscribe Palestine Action" @daliagebrial.bsky.social on the govts proscription of Palestine Action

New in PN: The end of the Trump rally "Even for the diehards, his rallies have become a slog as a sleepy president rambles pointlessly from one subject to another, like a musical act whose hit-making days are decades in the past playing the old songs with little of the verve that made them popular"

you ever notice how the best economic system ever invented can't seem to crack how to sell "food" without massive government subsidies

Pouring one out for Bioware this morning, and thinking of their rise and fall across such a long period. It's oddly close to home, for someone who never worked there, and only in an adjoining industry. But I did get to see behind the curtain once, and it stuck with me.

Finally the Bank of England has given us low interest rates x

Sometimes it feels like the difference between Labour and Tories is that Labour take the time to lie to your face first before enacting harmful policies

In case anyone else wonders, this isn’t some bananas columnist, it’s the official Times editorial view. The official, racist, xenophobic, hatred-inciting, Times editorial view.

Billionaire living in a castle calls minority group she is paying hundreds of thousands of pounds of her own money to legislate out of existence ‘elitist’

Donald Trump still doesn't know the difference between Windmills and Wind Turbines.

This is what Burnham was too dishonest to announce before the Holborn & St Pancras byelection. The centrist drones in mainstream media saying the Green Party should focus on “Green issues” - as if they are separate from everything else - are now going to criticise us for focusing on Green Issues.

Finneas (Billie Eilish's brother) who was one of the first to leave Ed Sheeran's concert after Palestine was censored, RT this. "I'd rather see the world set ablaze in protest than watch it die under the boot of fascists and pedophiles."

You fucking ghoul. You knew what you were doing when you starved the NHS of funding, and when you depleted the stockpile specifically built up to deal with a crisis. You knew and you did not care because you wanted the NHS dead, because it financially suited you and your friends.

106 members of Suella Braverman's extended family and friends brace themselves for the inevitable Christmas present.

I know a lot of British trans people are worried by the NHS segregation announcement. Sharing How To get Out again, it should be of use if you're wondering whether it's time to leave. New edition in the works btw. transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

Jail time for people who stand on the left on tube escalators. Public stoning for people who walk at you looking at their phone. Stay tuned for more mad, unenforceable policy ideas aimed at minor daily irritations.

Horrific & heart breaking. And to be really clear so many Trans friends said this would happen, that the bullshit NHS guidance, EHRC guidance & shit supreme court ruling would kill people. Joelle should not have died. The state killed her because she was trans. Its not okay.

Tories: What happened to the country that built things? Everyone: You happened! It was you guys, you did this! Tories: Maybe it was immigrants?
