The wages of liberal transphobia and xenophobia is political death
it took the Tories 15 years of fucking everything up to obliterate their party. Keir Starmer did it in 18 months
so it happened - greens just met labour in the polling average

Much like Labour, the BBC has burned its natural supporters to chase the populist right, who inevitably continue to despise it
The BBC tells the story of Britain in a way Netflix simply cannot. In the year to come, please remember that | Tony Hall

I love many shows on the streaming channels, but the BBC is our storyteller. It defines a nation and its culture – and we must defend it, says former BBC director general Tony Hall

The notion that the evil and incompetence of the other side is self evident to a majority of voters has been disproven over and over so why would you keep operating under that faulty premise?

the polarization thesis is and remains hack shit
How can someone who says that a stone cold racist and trans-exterminationist Charlie Kirk “did politics the right way” have the nerve to tell us why “we” are polarized? The gall.

China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns
From 2027, cars sold in China must have manual door releases after electronic handles failing during crashes. Tesla and other brands will need design changes.

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move.
Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for.
It’s pretty disgusting.

YouTube removed another of my anti-videogame gambling videos for being pro-gambling.

this is all true but the corollary is how funny it is on an audio-only podcast like Boonta Vista when it becomes obvious that @aynrandy.boontavista.com is once again eating a giant plate of bolognese on video call with the other hosts purely from their incredulous reactions
Like every other podcast has an awkward segment where they say “if you’re watching on YouTube you’ll see [invariably a reaction that you can infer from the context]”, which is redundant for viewers & tells listeners (who are *way* more valuable for ad $) that they’re missing something. It’s dumb af

Cuban is asking a legit question. Most Americans have no idea of the variety of ways universal coverage works, often thinking it’s all single payer while actually that’s a very unusual model internationally. In fact, Canada’s approach is unlike Germany’s and that’s unlike Great Britain’s. 1/2
