money. i don't have idols and i don't care about travel like that. the only people i want spend time with is my family and being rich would allow that. going back in time could be fun but if i had to watch y'all turn the world into this again i would be depressed

ok but who gave them permission? did they ask you? did y'all get to vote? because i didn't and you can't get permission after the fact

also see the 'permission' they got to steal your art and literature and privacy. they're literally spitting in your faces and telling you it's rain
Delicious to me

Teen witches on trial for murder in modern day Edinburgh. An interesting and dramatic look into the Scottish justice system through the eyes of a juror desperately trying to make sense of a case gone out of hand.

good, this never should have been considered
One of the most valuable lessons my father taught me was to use my voice to speak up whenever I see wrong doing.
Thanks to every researcher who spoke up against this unethical study and for every reporter who amplified. Advocacy matters. @melodyschreiber.com

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.
“Why can’t we have any regulations for US tech in Britain?”

Because the US trade rep has gone to every country including Britain and said if we regulate tech in a way that favours our people, industries and national interests, the US will bury us in tariffs and ruin our economy.

But it's about making the internet safe for the kids right?
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

If "financial celibacy" is a thing was I....a financial harlot my whole life??
January 12, 2026 at 3:29 PM
🤣 What a term

That's not a necessary practice for me but to each their own
I have a question for the guys:

Would y’all practice financial celibacy, keeping your wallet closed either for the right person or till marriage ?

I literally watched the Evri guy sit in his truck across the road and take a photo of my door and then send me an email saying I was not in. I was literally in the photo. And so many companies insist on using these shitty delivery companies instead of just using the post office
I will never understand how delivery companies exist in this country. I have lived in the same place for 5 years and royal mail has never missed a delivery but UPS, Evri and DPD regularly need 2 or 3 tries to deliver anything.

that's ok. i can spell and they shouldn't have been tracking my packages anyway.
“The trade-off is that turning off the Gemini AI features will also turn off some of Gmail's other embedded legacy features, including autocorrect, spell check, desktop notifications, and package tracking.”
Gmail's new Gemini AI features can be turned off, but there's a catch
The email app used by over 3 billion people is turning on new artificial intelligence features by default. Here's how to turn them off.

of course he is, they've let him crap all over it since the terrible and unnecessary jj abrams reboot. there's clearly no concern for quality,

i've lived in both kinds of places but i have always been black first
Black in this country.

I saw a great comment with a man from a majority Black country who said he is Gay first because of how society in his country treats him.

Makes one think about how no experience is monolithic.
Saw this great question on Reddit,

Question: Which comes first?

For the fellas, do you see yourself more as a Black gay man or more as a gay Black man?
