At the bank I was told "pick your four digit pincode but it can't be a year." "Aren't they all years?" I asked. We sat in silence for a bit.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.

It's 1982. Disney hopes TRON will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

It's 2010. Disney hopes TRON: LEGACY will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

It's 2025. Disney hopes TRON: ARES will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

I don't play it anymore, because the moment it becomes apparent I'm not going to win, I want to quit, and my family won't let me

So what you're saying is people will decide the Greens represent them better than labour does. Why do you think that is?

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

What do you mean by "fees", Jack? Do we pay those directly like we do for tickets? Or is this just a clever little bit of misdirection so you can "prove" you improved value for money?

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

This is exactly what I said. They didn't like that and blathered on about "activists" so clearly they're just parroting something a man in a suit with a grave voice told them

Found the labour sock puppet

Post from @207michael.bsky.social
The amount it will cost to nationalise the water companies is something that is up for debate. The £100 billion figure is high and likely wrong but the lower figures I've seen are also likely extremely wrong as well. Many are worthless but they have alot debts so what happens to it, 70 billion or so

They're only not going under because they keep getting bailed out. Additionally if you actually read the ruling you'd see that's an irrelevant consideration. I'm sorry you don't want to admit you're wrong but you don't have to be condescending
