This "it's actually a Russian spy plot" stuff was not only used as an attack line against Corbyn, we watched the hacks workshop it in real time when the NHS privatisation documents dropped, because they already knew they were never going to report a single positive thing about Labour in 2019.
This is exactly the same shit the same journalists gladly engaged in when the targets were the Labour left and every single one of them can fuck themselves in the eyes, ears and anus, if they want to get precious about it now.

a word of advice: if you're translating the Dutch term for horse breeding - which is "paardenfokken" - you should really be aware that while you *can* translate it as "horse fucking" you really shouldn't do that

For the record, measles typically hospitalizes about 25% of those it infects, and kills ~0.1-0.3%.
It's dangerous for that alone (by these numbers: ~40-480 dead kids), but measles has a nasty trick. It suppresses immune function for years afterwards so other infections can kill even more children.

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

It's genuinely so fucking demoralising watching liberals stand up and say with their full chest that you can do as much horrendous shit as possible as long as you say all the Serious Statesman incantations while you do it.

Europe desperately wants the US to be Normal Again so it doesn’t actually have to engage with any of the hard work (and spending) that engaging with reality actually involves.
So if Rubio gives a speech with ~better vibes~ it gets lapped up, even if it’s meaningless on substance.

Amsterdam is great fun because sometimes you walk in on a heated argument between someone from China (Taiwan), someone from China (Mainland), someone from Japan, and two drunk Koreans, and then an even more drunk American barges in and assumes everyone present is from Thailand.

had someone ask "why a tape drive"
well the fiber-channel controller was €20 and the cabling another €20 and the drive was €90 and a stack of 15 LTO-5 tapes of various sorts was €90, so I now have ~22TB of bulk storage for the grand total of €220, which is half the price of a ~22TB HDD
