It's the being a rotten Tory waster that really elevates it to peak shit combover status, like a sort of spiritual baldness. Just being a sound person who's thinning a bit on top simply can't compete

Everyone in the UK that has had to use this service should be phoning up their MP office to demand an explanation why a law set out (OSA) did not have adequate protections of said data.

Phone calls
Emails
Actual visits to their office.

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.

Including some users passports & DLs

Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.

Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Otherwise I made some good friends and occasionally got laid even but mostly social media has been a disaster all around

In 2008 or so a random person in the Róisín Dubh in Galway bought me a pint because he recognised me from accidentally kicking off a round of trolling a BNP page in Irish, that was good

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Finished Ivalice Chronicles. Didn't think you could make Tactics any better and I was very wrong. Some of the best VAing in gaming ever, the QOL additions, an 11/10 Masterpiece. Greatest Strategy RPG ever made, a must play experience. That's how you remaster a game.

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.

An article from The Times: "Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future". Featuring bizarre portraits of Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin and Daniel Campbell.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

In a distant future London, cuts to the NHS have caused wait times for gender affirming care to centuries. Each of you is a young trans person who, in an effort of survive long enough to get the health care you deserve, have decided to become an immortal lich.
