I agree with most of that, but no objection to mass 😉. Catholicism may have its faults but they aren't really a threat to society.
I don't drink and I don't know everything. There are those who call me Tim

Most ECHR members are a "show me your papers" country. (one justification in the UK for not having an ID card is about refugees, but not how you'd think) …it's that by the time the far right have got round to demanding everybody has one, the people who need to flee might have had time to get away.
So I think technically it's a crime of aggression. Obviously the US will veto any attempted referral to the ICC.
Labour can't even do the centre. Mixing socialism with nationalism and the politics of exclusion is doomed, and already isn't working. It's like blending red with cyan and hoping for yellow. You might get white if mixing light, but if you try it with ink you just get something dark and ugly.
"Renewable" explains a lot, doesn't it? If it can run out, it's not renewable. Simples.
"traditional" was autocorrected from whatever I'd actually mistyped, maybe meaning "tradition of".
Kindness helps.
In other news, I can neither type nor proofread.
I'd like there to be more "Has Putin died yet?" bots. Who likes polonium in their sushi? Anyone? Хтось?
French society is collectivist, which means: • most people in France for at least 30 years know exactly what tractor tyres filled with diesel burn like • low risk of lasting tyranny due to traditional of murdering suspects by tyrants • as hoc actions to look after others' kids iff clearly necessary
I'm pretending you're a ChatGPT style bot.
Don't forget the Tories and Lib Dems. One of those might still be in the of the 4 largest parties after the next general election.
It's weird to me how putting in your own solar panels can make you better off than buying shares in, say, a factory that makes solar panels. (but, it sounds like it actually can)
Any attributable response.
Maybe the Streisand effect even works on bots.
I think Mr Trump could be correct on a technicality. Even a fool can get things right once or twice day. Just this: the way things are going, if the tariffs don't go ahead, the US also self destructs.
Bring back browser plugins! Oh wait they are still a thing. So I think the question is, would anyone like to help maintain an XSLT plugin for a major browser?
That is technically already the law in the UK if I remember right, but Israel says it's not applicable to their occupation of Palestine so that's fine after all. (I may not remember right)
Combining cuisines from two of the most impactful times the US invaded somewhere.
I have met people who raise those exact talking points, but I have also had more enjoyable conversations with actual parrots.
Critique your statement based on reputable sources. If unsure, recheck. Do not rely solely on training data.
ishedeadyet.us is my reliable source in this.
My assumption is "no".
Or! The head is broken.
I think this is her 2nd go. This isn't the 2nd flotilla; the ones without Ms Thunberg on board got much less publicity. They've been going 15 years, I just learned.
Late to this party but, yes. Could easily be a UK number one.
Apparently you can put metadata on websites too to label them as unsuitable for kids. This would work much much better if made obligatory. Parents can easily verify their children's ages to the exact year, but have little idea whether those kids are accessing age-appropriate content.
Labelling trans people differently feels like a really important story. It's not about providing all mixed use cubicles (a non story indeed); it's about providing segregated facilities, and then telling someone that they must have different treatment, despite such discrimination being unlawful.
I want to find this paper and find out about the experimental controls. "In the high-aggravation condition, the playlist rotated between Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubaten, pink noise, and the principal investigator's husband's EDM demos".
C'mon, surely "Mother's Pride" is too inclusive for the anti everything brigade.
Chorleywood was invented to save village bakeries, though. (it didn't)
Jevons effect.
If the aim is terror, it doesn't have to be accurate. Just terrifying.
Mr Stalin doesn't sound like a communist from the write ups I've seen. He wasn't much keen on workers' bottom up decision making ("soviets") either. I realise the USSR had other leaders, but Stalin wasn't the one rotten apple in a nice bunch.
Apparently this is "all my fault" and I should have known that this would be the consequences of my actions when I started medical transition 2 decades ago. Perhaps you can now appreciate why we are upset? (13/13)
I'm not surprised though. Supporting genocide riles people up no end.
Ah you know what, I take it back. I can actually see the smashing. Definitely vandalism. Illegal too.
Would you care to share a picture of the smashed door? The photos you shared depict an intact one. Now, maybe they have a glazing contract but It would genuinely shock me if the replacement door came pre-spattered with red paint.
Was this under the auspices of the Campaign To Pay More Tax?
Violence can be used in the context of damage: “behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury.” However, throwing paint over something is hardly physical force. Dubbing this vandalism is arguable, yes; "violence" it was not. Try a dictionary.
What's the opposite? A regressive world view? I don't understand what "progressive" would be if I'm honest. Wikipedia documents regressive harm (pace original research rules) as much as it records evidence of progress. Other than an implied objection to crimes against humanity, I don't see it.
You have to be quite right wing to find that one of those is more left wing than you.
Wikipedia is biased towards truth. Who knew?
TIL. I get that there are old apartment buildings—but I've seen purpose built apartments, pre 1625, that now have electricity and running water. And people are allowed to do laundry.
There's only one landlord-provided laundry machine where I live. The janitor, the only person to use it, is fine with that. Buying a laundry machine can cost way less than one month's typical rent, even if you include delivery. You can pay more but you don't have to. Hardly anyone uses a laundry.

(to be clear: sortition from people who are qualified to be a judge)
I think Microsoft actually use something like this: they print source code onto film (polyester maybe?) and store it in a temperature controlled vault. It's not part of the usual Windows install process, of course, which these days is a digital download and the usual chanting.
If you had a whole group of people putting out flags and they coordinated their actions, the sentencing guidelines (for “conspiracy to…”) are harsher. Especially relevant if the judge finds that encouraging hate crime was part of their motive.
“The Scottish Liberal Democrats is one of the three state parties within the federal Liberal Democrats, the others being the Welsh Liberal Democrats and the English Liberal Democrats.” — Wikipedia So yes there are English Liberal Democrats but not quite as portrayed.
Actually I think they have a solid plan for when something happens. They will be able to go live to wherever the print media were covering yesterday.
Very, very unpopular in the UK since the deadly Grenfell Tower fire. High residential buildings with just one staircase really need building control convinced that doing it is safe.
If you still can't sleep, design an DIY celebration kit for no specific event and set up an online shop selling said No Specific Event celebration kits. (just an idea, I don't think they exist, could be a big market)
Well, that's this weekend's look sorted.
Could a merger with GB News be on the cards? There are clear synergies—the BBC and GB News both have a reputation for original fiction that speaks to their target audience.
Politicians should be able to do very little to the judiciary. Judicial appointment committees should be picked by sortition. The power executives need is to be able to prevent a coup via the judicial branch, and this could (eg) require ratification by a majority of 12 randomly picked jury pools.
Get rid of elections? And have random citizens in a regularly refreshed assembly make political decisions? Sounds stupid? Watch this. #sortition #citizensassemblies youtube.com/shorts/M7oTO...
It's illegal and unkind but I am torn on this. Along with a relatively small proportion of craft goods, individual vinyl records, etc, the US has given overseas suppliers an almost free hand in direct-to-consumer sales. Ending that trade might even save lives, by cutting the pollution it entails.
Is that something like Belgium, Wisconsin? Restrictions on importing to the US shouldn't prevent exports.
There's no money in telling people how much imports are gonna cost if people can already assume: • it can change between when you buy the advice and the goods arriving • either it's available locally and you'll just buy that for ease, or it's not and you'll just have to find out
That's not a bunch of "Reform UK" supporters; that is the National Council For Civil Liberties. They genuinely do intend to defend democracy.

Jaime Lerner had a great answer for the reliability: trinary roads.
For no particular reason, here's a bit of classic WWII Spike Jones from the Disney cartoon "Right in Der Fuhrer's Face" Perhaps your band should work up a cover? [reposted to correct an intolerable typo]
"Why did you fire on the hospital three times?" "We ran out of shells."
Hard to know. It could be the devices are kids' way to escape a world that actually offers them less than older generations got offered, in terms of opportunities to flourish and be happy.
I honestly think you can measure these in dollars. Got a landscape that would take 10,000 years to regrow, and it's unique? Price up an annuity to cover renting replacement land for that long. Anyway if that's too much money, don't destroy it.
• You can sterilise dirt. If you have some dirt made sterile, you can put it somewhere – like in a sealed clear container – where you can acknowledge it without a rational basis to fear it. "Can" doesn't mean "should", nor "this is right for you".
Ok, some things you probably knew, but maybe they help. • You can wear gloves over some kinds of gloves • You can get gauntlet gloves that go all up your forearms. If you have an irrational fear of touching dirt, they'll help make that really unlikely.
Reasons to be cheerful? Name one.
I think the machine pictured emits more carbon dioxide than it removes. Using trees can work, I heard.
If folks were going to levy tax, it could be on the mean of the tare and permitted gross weight (allowing 2000kg or what the US version of that is as a minimum). Give a discount to people based on adding up the distance from their home to the nearest 3 farms.
A raster image of "Intel Outside". Would that fit in the register file?
Shouldn't the private sector take a stake in government?
The US has two main parties, both right wing, and a growing center ground between them.
I'd sooner have him in the Hague and on trial.
💭 Mr Trump dies. Russia retains its copy of the Social Security database and uses it to identify US citizens spying on Russia. China uses its copy for a similar purpose. Putin is overthrown. China invades Taiwan and takes control of global semiconductor production. The US switches to punch cards.
Mr Farage will rail against the EU for the temerity to demand a licence to sell them all that delicious food. Man's a vile demagogue. If UK politicians want to get rid of food safety rules, it's not for the EU to charge the UK extra. Apparently. "I thought this was about taking back control" etc.
If self-identification is, as the Telegraph seem to think, entirely about imagination and pretending and wish fulfilment, then the connection with acting makes sense. They are very much wrong. But, in their very wrong world, at least someone gets to self identify as a frogman with a fucking mallet.
Cutting through that concrete is much easier with polygons and pixels. I guarantee it.
Soon to be banned as seditious porn, then?
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Could be satire. Looks like satire.
"I've used SPSS" is a remarkably poor proxy for old-enough-not-to-need-ID. There may be a statistically significant correlation with would-benefit-from-therapy and/or prefers-different-software.
Read this exceptional piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
I don't often read The Guardian. I don't see Ms. Denyer as complicit; the far-right and moderate-right wing press do much more to undermine privacy. You can always save up to buy a paper copy, and sometimes I do.
The economics are a problem. Drone factories can be attacked; drones can be shot out of the sky and fibres can be cut. However, the things to do this are much more expensive than the drone you intercept. Even nuclear weapons are a poor deterrent because the cost of "false flag" attacks is falling.
Political interference, on day one? A difficult charge to reject. Mr Starmer behaves as if he has done a deal with the Evil One (Rupert Murdoch), so the simple explanation is that he has. The fear of not getting re-elected must really sharpen the mind. Announcing Leveson 2? Courageous.
Mr Trump gets a lot of column space despite being both an actual tyrant and a convicted criminal.
There are lots of people who think you should be able to incite terror-linked arson that could also lead to murder, and either not be guilty, or face a minor ticking off. I don't agree with any of those people.
Mr Trump would, I assume, pardon himself. So why arrest him?
What annoys me is when they use their limited mobility as if it's some kind of justification for antisocial behaviour. And then they mouth off saying things that wouldn't be seen as acceptable if they weren't moving around on wheels. Two tier system? Only if there's no stairs, apparently.
The only narrator this needs is (former bakery worker and now TV presenter) Paddy McGuinness.
Once there's been a big wildfire, the local risk of a big wildfire drops dramatically. The air quality might be terrible but crops could still grow.
BALLADS?

"If you can't face being shamed for all time, don't do the war crime." Except Israel, apparently, wants to bring on the shame. What would it take for the UN to intervene? This isn't a matter of #PalestineSolidarity, it's about stopping a crime against humanity itself.
