Supermarkets were the first to realise data has value so initially offered free stuff (via points) for giving them data. Then they realised people are thick and give data to other companies for free so they changed it to 'we will punish you if you don't give us the data'.

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic

Bruce Springsteen is unbelievably overrated. He only wrote a handful of half decent tunes, but ruins even those by singing flat. The E Street Band play sloppily, as if drunk, and their version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town in excruciating. Sorry Bruce.

In fairness to Maria Steen it's a tough tightrope to walk to find nominees who hate women enough to support the Iona Institute but not so much that they wouldn't nominate one.

Hook this to my veins. Love to see this cretin crash and burn in real-time
Maria Steen has, in practice, about half an hour to find two more signatures.
The Returning Officer is only available to receive forms by appointment, and Steen’s campaign made an 11am booking (ahead of the 12pm deadline) to hand them over - IF they had the full 20.
She is, as of now, still at 18.

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent:
This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life.
You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

Nearly 500,000 are considered to be facing “catastrophe.”
