I don’t think internet just adds volume, it amplifies division and tries to shape opinion. Start a new account on X and see what the algorithm feeds you - toxic, racist propaganda. Long term users won’t see this because they’ve curated their feeds.

Agreed. They can start by quitting X. No legislation required.

Let’s get Xit done.

Also, not to minimise the other points, but *$17* for a bottle of water?!

This article makes my head spin. An interview with a porn baroness in a hotel owned by a Brunei Sultan who would literally have people stoned to death for what they do on the site. She claims all users are consenting adults - how could she possibly know if young women are being coerced?

That’s not my recollection. As I recall, the small company I ran prior to 2006 only had to file abbreviated accounts, not full accounts, and the criteria for defining a small company were similar to those post 2006 - ie meeting 2 out of 3 thresholds on turnover, balance sheet to total and employees.

“two businesses where customers opposed flags raised nearby were pelted with flour, eggs and miscellaneous condiments”

A recipe for disaster.

I'm going with it's an account which has been sold to an LLM bot farm, which is why we are seeing things like "Mr Pope". The LLM thinks it's a surname.

I don’t blame the brooms, they are just autonomous agents obeying their programming. Nor do I blame Mickey, an inexperienced, overworked underling trying to complete his tasks efficiently. I blame the Sorcerer for failing to follow basic protocols for the safe handling and storage of magical items.
