it's like no MP understands how the biometric residence permits you scrapped functioned, in addition to right to rent/work checks. companies which didn't bother with the old system, or the current digital system, won't bother with the third attempt at this either

Today I'm mostly thinking about how things are only deemed "political' when you disagree with them.
Like in the UK, support for LGB rights isn't (yet) deemed political, but trans rights are.
In the EBU, support for Ukraine isn't (yet) deemed political, but support for Palestine is.

Nearly £18bn in a stranded asset 🙃
Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.
BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.

Actual brain-dead web designers are those that can't be bothered to trim spaces from the front and end of inputs, preferring to go straight to "Illegal postcode" etc instead.

UK has a bunch of problems.
Migration is a politically unpopular way to address many of them.
The UK government wants everyone to throw them a nice little flag shaggy parade for choosing not to use it - while doing nothing else to fix the problems.

Total cunt of a journey home.
Needed to charge (planned). Long queue at preferred stop so decided to go onto one closer to home - would arrive with 10 miles left. Arrived to find some arsehole has cut all the cables.
Chose next nearest - turned out to be a phantom charger. Now down to 4 miles.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
