@shashj.bsky.social I see a lot of different numbers of death toll including up to 12,000. Is that realistic do you think?

Genuinely baffled by Pippa Crerar tying herself in knots to justify why she still uses X. “I have to use the Nazi child porn site because I get really good leads.” I guess there isn’t a line that it would cross where you would be happy to see yourself posting alongside?

I’m a Labour supporter as well but I’m sure it’s within Starmer’s political capabilities to miss the open goal of “paedos are bad actually” lol

The government could start by actually applying anti-competitive and anti-monopoly rules to big online retailers and supermarkets. There’s a revealed preference, but the market is also stacked against high street retailers.

Well, quite. I still think this is a function of folks having no other available course for investigation and treatment, though, and hospital capacity doesn’t necessarily fix that

Being devil’s advocate, isn’t that because the main way of improving it is improvement in adjacent services (community and social care, GPs, follow up care) so that people don’t end up in A&E when they don’t need to?

Probably incredibly misreading things, but I can’t even imagine him winning the primary. He’s a whiny black hole of charisma.

Just a reminder that a third of US national debt matures in 2026. The US has to refinance $10 trillion in the coming weeks.

Creating and sharing CSAM is a crime in the UK. Accessing this “stores” it inside the memory in your phone and previous UK case law would imply that by even opening these threads in X you are committing a crime.

Did it ever exist, or was it just a thing that some people told themselves for a time? The US alone has examples like Iran, Guatemala, Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua, not to mention Iraq.

I think that’s the “how” but not the “why”. The “why” is imo just the state of the country/economy and whoever is in government automatically inherits that frustration and anger now. The line of tolerance is razor thin and they catastrophically misjudged how much political space they had.

Voyager really gets into its stride in season 7, especially the last half, and then kind of abruptly stops, which is frustrating. Whereas TNG and DS9 endings feel wrapped up and more satisfying, like they’ve said what they needed to say.

The idea that the British Parliament lacks executive power is… a take.

A lot of over-50s are reverse snowflakes now: one of the only times they encounter a view different from their own is with the grandkids at Christmas.

The real question is where do we go from here. Starmer’s ratings are bad, sure, but looking at this anyone with a chance of taking over (who is also widely known) would immediately become one of the most unpopular prime ministers ever. It’s almost meaninglessly bad!
