Just read the quote. “As time’s gone on, I realized my job is to make sure the films appeal to everybody,” said the craven artistically bankrupt coward, as though trying to appeal to everybody has ever produced anything of value

Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain

This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act.

The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people.

Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said:

“For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. 
“Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

“That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.”

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

If money is speech, what’s being said by someone who contributes to both parties, and how is it different from naked corruption?

MS spend their entire history on a Star Trek-esque alternating good-suck-good-suck release cadence for Windows, and it looks like they’re going to break it by going suck-megasuck

It’s worth noting that booking.com only shows around a dozen hotels in the entire city when you limit the search to rooms costing enough to be charged the 10,000 rate. The overwhelming majority of rooms in the city are getting either no increase or one of a few hundred yen.

if people are using classified information to place bets, then theoretically others can analyze betting behavior to find signals that reveal classified information.

So as well as the whole giant robot thing, NERV have got all the 14 year olds in their care drinking coffee? I’m worried for their mental health.

Following America into an illegal war worked out so well for Tony Blair, I can see why Starmer would want more of that

They’re wankers

Most tech “innovations” are variations on ways to use technology to exploit loopholes in legislation, in this case running a bank without having to follow the rules that banks have to follow.

Red Dwarf’s ‘visionary’ co-creator Rob Grant dies aged 70 Grant and Doug Naylor created the much-loved sci-fi sitcom in 1988

Worked with Rob on an unrealised project back in 2010 and he couldn’t have been nicer. How terribly sad.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

The irony is that those companies will have had to pay for that API access, unlike Anthropic who scraped all their content without paying anyone for it.
