Netflix loves having Sesame Street characters in their sandbox as much as Daniel Craig enjoys playing Benoit Blanc

People get extremely annoyed when I point it out (I think they think I’m endorsing the other guy, cause we don’t do nuance) but if this was Biden, it would be the cover image of literally every American newspaper tomorrow.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

I know I’ve said this before but I keep finding it very funny seeing people (mostly Americans) reacting to all this by saying “Wow Zarah Sultana needs to get out of that toxic party and join the Greens”, like saying Keith Richards needed to escape the Rolling Stones because they had a drug problem
Chaos has engulfed the first 24 hours of the inaugural 'Your Party' conference in Liverpool, with Zarah Sultana boycotting the first day of the event, Jeremy Corbyn facing "witch-hunt" allegations, and an entryism row

This was literally a plot point in the tv show Silicon Valley about ten years ago
Of course, people are racing to confidently and wrongly assume man-in-the-middle attacks could never happen to the non-AI apps they know and love

Again: if you think that going “it’s a problem if you can’t see what is objectionable about this mural” is “silly”, you yourself are a racist and an appeaser of racists, just like the government we now have.

That American politics went off the rails after Barack Obama and British ethnonationalism has reared its head after Rishi Sunak is the real tell about how committed some people are to integration and post racial politics.
A country where Sadiq Khan can lead London, Humza Yousaf can lead Scotland, and Rishi Sunak can lead Britain is a country where the racists had *lost*. So much of this vicious bile has come directly after that and almost no one seems to draw the connection

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
