Reader, listener, wine drinker. Pro-EU, pro-Ukraine, pro-Palestine, anti-fascist. Woke twat. Senders of stupid DMs (including invitations to join the Illuminati) will be blocked. I’m also muting accounts that post AI-generated slop.

Given Trump’s grasp of geography, it’ll be another reason to start a war with Denmark.

In all seriousness, do you think the Millers of the US regime have any intention of allowing themselves to be voted out?

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

The sooner she and all her ilk fuck off, the better. The only reason a society should tolerate the existence of the absurdly wealthy is if they contribute proportionally via the tax system. If they are unwilling to do so, they should be summarily expelled.

Goodness how I am enjoying people accusing me of lying about this. What a treat that is.

It’s not just the stupidity of it, it’s the greed. A firm like that charges eye-watering fees. Then they cheap out by getting AI to do the work for them, and don’t even have a paralegal check it? They really deserve to be out of business.

They thought they could make more money by pretending to care about this stuff, now they can make more money by doing what the Nazis tell them.

Let’s not forget “institute a white-supremacist Christo-fascist dictatorship”. Because there is also that.

Space: 1999 was so obviously intended to be the British Star Trek. Hindered only by the fact that almost everything about it was stupid.

This marketing term is causing untold harm, of course, mostly to the naive and gullible. But it’s surprising how many educated and apparently intelligent people are placing an unwarranted degree of trust in these programmes.
