Went to apply for a UK ETA visa thing.
Its 16GBP to buy direct from the UK government
Google enshittification means the official government link is buried behind 3 adverts that will rip you off for 100GBP+
Google is broken on purpose to serve scams instead of legitimate content. Fuck Google.

Erectile dysfunction doesn't exist and Viagra gives you autism
I think they should just stop pandering to confused boomers and read the Cass report and stop prescribing Viagra/Cialis, it's not safe to use, nobody ever had erectile dysfunction until the boomers started making up medical conditions

Let’s be honest: nothing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have done in the last 56 years justifies the tremendous cost of bringing them back from the moon. NASA should’ve spared the long-suffering taxpayer and left them up there

It's almost Thanksgiving! Got an ICE member coming for dinner at your house? No you don't! Can't stop them because you're not the one hosting? No problem. You can shun them, mock them, shame them, cough in their food. They get the weird chair. No weird chair? Make a weird chair.

my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person

Is there a pi-hole project, but for blocking right wing media?
Dad has been in hospital for a few weeks. No access to GB News. It has been very refreshing being able to have a normal conversation with him again, not one mention of immigrants or liberals.

NZ stands with our firefighters ✊
They're facing a Dire Emergency: broken down trucks, dangerous staffing, faulty equipment, and FENZ refusing to address a failing system. Firefighters want to keep New Zealanders safe—but they need FENZ to show up and genuinely prioritise community safety. #nzpol

I don't think being rich makes you a monster so much as the process by which people become rich requires monsters as a prerequisite and nothing about the Epstein file revelations has dissuaded me of this notion

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented “real America,” just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith – ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

Just like when the New York Times did not think the No Kings protests were all that significant, this is indicative of how much mainstream institutions have bought into the idea that only Trump and his supporters represent “real America” and have a right to have their voices amplified.

I've just inked a deal where OpenAI will give me $38B in 2030 and in exchange I will give OpenAI $38B in 2030, I know this isn't "reciprocal dealing", because I checked with ChatGPT first, and it told me it was a great idea and to buy more Nvidia stock too and that I'm god.
