is this the only way I can read Normal People now

Less of a problem though when they can rely on the BBC to broadcast the whole thing.

The documentary dropped a week ago and it might as well have never even happened, as far as anyone with clout is concerned. Not even a ripple on the surface of the pond.

the people have spoken, we don't want uncanny horrid plagiarist slop, we want organically made "weird little guys"(tm)

If people like this and their families aren’t living in mortal terror for their lives and freedom we will never make it as a species

I don’t think enough is said about how funny this is. He would have briefed somebody to do this. Possibly while stood behind them, making suggestions over their shoulder. Stood on a stepladder.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

“Officers attended and engaged with those involved. There were no arrests. Campaigning and demonstration are a legitimate, necessary and vital part of life" Interesting tactic from Police Scotland who routinely kettle antifascist groups while they attempt to peacefully protest. shorturl.at/QCf7N

So... That Turning Point/UVF documentary with all the people admitting to actual crimes is going nowhere except the memory hole then, huh? Damn, you'd think that'd be at least one or two real journalists in the country capable of feeling shame about what that says about the industry.

“What flavour genocide do you want? Plain or sprinkles?”

'earnest take' shut the fuck up egg

Not exactly undermining my belief that the Tony Martin murder trial in 2000 is one of several Ground Zeroes for the British reactionary movement

Dont forget my loves, these ghouls must spend their every moment living in fear and activation in order to maintain sufficient momentum, the richest men in the world must spend all their time and money to maintain this stranglehold, and still power is constantly slipping from their grasp

This article is pretty much useless if you want to understand what the domestic issues Israelis are "deeply divided" over. It does, towards the end, acknowledge all parties agree on continuing the genocide It does make clear the West back Gen. Eisenkot as a clean slate but not what his policies are

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

It would be incredibly useful for a country like Brazil to just outright ban Facebook and x. Show it can be done. Or at least apply regulatory standards that hucksters like musk and Zuckerberg can't meet. Make them rack up the fines every time some nazi posts.

He’s their JD Vance, they’re convinced they could turn him

And This is exactly why Burnham will fail- he does not want to confront these people. HeMs terrified of them, and he thinks he can accommodate them. He’s deeply, deeply wrong.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Remember when this happened to his dad and he tried to get the military to intervene and they just said nah

Lula Goes HARD

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

The Guardian's live blog on the Brazilian election is going all out to centre the complaints of the fash losers

Ministers keep saying things like “get ready for war in 1,000 days” and journalists keep not saying things like “what do you mean” and “can you be more specific” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
