Yeah but that’s because you’re using logic, reasoning, and commonly understood meanings of words. In Kid Starver’s authoritarian mind none of those things matter.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre.

That argument perhaps held when it was still called Twitter, it’s now mostly bots

Acting?

I think that’s what they’re trying to highlight by asking him it

Is it a sacking if you get £75k?

That sounds more like a very comfortable redundancy to me.

Specifically timed to come out after Prime Minister’s Questions.

To allow maximum time to pass before he can be grilled by MPs about it? In the hope something more pressing will come up by next Wednesday? Arsehole.

“The judge said because he was employing people as a roofer they didn’t send him to jail.”

Note to self: get some employees and I can break the law as I wish.

This book, YouTube’s history, and the span of human history say otherwise. You’re spouting capitalist rhetoric which is ultimately a lie told to us on repeat to encourage greed, selfishness, and individualism.

The platform you’re using right now was built without profit motive, there’s plenty of content. PeerTube can achieve the same.

The end.

I can see why authors need typographers

So still profitable. Still profitable to the tune of near €7 billion. Oh no!

50,000 jobs go bye bye because line no go up

Capitalism is an amazing system

Would be even better if your company had a travel directive not to travel to the US.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

We’re going to need executions of people calling for capital punishment in Western nations very soon to send a message.

Respect our long established laws or else.

More giant media companies consolidated into the hands of a few.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

What I didn’t see mentioned in this article, but heard on the radio, is that they’re going to be focused on AI journalism so we can expect great slop from an already pretty shabby Torygraph.

Keir Starmer suggested allowing the US to use the bases to carry out defensive strikes against Iranian targets at the meeting last Friday but was met with opposition from Ed Miliband, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and Shabana Mahmood

Shows you the power one single minister, albeit the Prime minister wields over the cabinet. Of 8 members, 4 opposed aiding an illegal war and yet it happened anyway. Such a shit system of governance for an entire nation of 65 million people.

HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex “real world” and instead established a simpler “fake world” for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments.

Some links you may find interesting. It took me a few sittings to finish it because there’s so much information to process but I highly recommend watching that documentary.
