I'm not above replying "stop indulging in student politics, you are just helping Farage!" to centrists the moment the Greens are ahead of Labour in the polls. It will be funny EVERY time.

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.

How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.
To ensure graduates contribute effectively to the economy, the maximum post-study stay will be reduced to 18 months from the current 2 years for most from 1 January 2027. It comes after data clearly showed that many holders had not transitioned into graduate-level employment as intended.
Finance requirements for student visas will also be increased for the 2025 to 2026 academic year, meaning foreign students will have to demonstrate they have sufficient funds to support themselves.

The unspoken meaning of regular "If this gets leaked we're cooked lololol" jokes is to remind everyone that they're in a position to coerce or destroy anyone who gets out of line.

the chat logs leaked clearly show members are aware they’re posting compromising messages, they’re even talking about how cooked they be if it leaked

bc the social function of extremist rhetoric is that in-group members bond and attain status by transgressing with one another as witnesses

Businesses adopting AI is so fucking weird to me, because like usually it is "We have this problem, what tool can we use to solve that problem". With AI, however, it largely seems to be "I paid a shitton of money for this thing, how can I make it useful?"

Like, what the fuck is the plan here?

It’s me, the avowed progressive liberal who, whenever a left wing economic progressive who looks remotely electorally viable is mentioned will, like some kind of hypnotised super-spy sleeper cell, launch into a furious and hectoring diatribe about what a terrible person they are.

Like a week in the sun would definitely help, and my boss is being very supportive (after being the final straw that drove me here but I digress) I just need to sleep properly and recharge my people battery before I glass someone for asking an innocent question

One thing is clear: renewables don’t fit within the political economy of neoliberal capitalism.

We have to choose between the profits of oil producers, and the health and prosperity of entire societies. But our politicians
care more about the former than the latter.

How the rich world lost the race to renewable energy
Renewables are booming in the global South – but vested interests and corrupt governments are blocking progress in the global North.

Please don’t scroll past this.
I’m still here… still fighting to survive.
I’m sick, my father is very sick — and we have no way to get treatment.
We live in a tent, in the freezing cold, with nothing but the wind and the sound of our hunger.
