True that. Even before you get into people who can't vote.

I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party

"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it."

I still think that deep down most people are decent enough they'd be much better off in a decent society that made it easy and rewarding to be decent to everyone, but our society brings out and rewards all the worst things instead. Sadly most people aren't decent enough to be decent despite that.

I'd like to know what assumptions go into that algorithm and just how accurate it has been in past elections. My guess is it won't be very accurate in the next election unless it's actually doing it on a per seat basis which I assume it isn't. Like, that data isn't broken down per seat, right?

Have you ever heard of a generation that didn't say this about later generations? Famously this happened in ancient Greece even. Look at yourself; you've become the clueless old man who has no idea what's wrong, but knows it's all the kids' fault.

Seat projections are wild. 21%, 23%... More than double the seats. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Yeah it's bullshit that they charge you for getting content from other providers, but it is technically true you don't have to, at least for now. I totally agree they're overreaching by charging for all live broadcasting. I certainly wouldn't be sorry to see them go.

It affecting infertile people doesn't make it not eugenics, intentional or not.

Sure, but again I'm saying this isn't just as buzzwords because this is a thing that was thought up by and introduced by eugenicists because they thought it furthered their agenda. It's not just vaguely connected to eugenics, it's a product of eugenicist ideals.

06.03.2026 10:19 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

These tests were still designed and championed by eugenicists because eugenicists saw them as furthering their goals. Eugenicists also lean heavily into authoritarianism. Things like this allow them tighter control. Patriarchy and eugenics are two sides of the same white supremacy coin.

That seems to easily fall within copyright exemptions. You can use short clips (usually less than 15 seconds is considered safe, but it needs to not be a substantial part of the work) without permission as long as your work is transformative. I don't think that's going to matter here at all.

Eugenics and patriarchy are not disconnected and sex testing in sports originated with eugenicists. Attributing it to eugenics isn't letting patriarchy off the hook.

The US starting an offensive war in Iran doesn't obligate anyone to join them. That's well established. The US keeps attacking other nations without NATO support all the damned time. Must have happened like a dozen times in my lifetime.

06.03.2026 08:52 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

That seems entirely necessary. The sheer size of the power vacuum for other powers to step into if NATO were to start losing large members without a replacement is staggering. Like this sounds like Putin's wet dream.

06.03.2026 08:49 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Now seems like an especially bad time to just drop alliances like NATO with no replacement. I'm sure it has its issuesβ€”reliance on the US for oneβ€”but that seems a little reckless considering how much we've already been alienating non-US Western nations over the last decade.

Of course not. The men's sports is the "default" for anyone who isn't a woman category. They'll explain that away by saying it's because men are better at sports, ignoring sports where the opposite is true.

Absolutely historic growth. It's wild to think how much this movement has grown in just the last year.

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

I didn't put words in your mouth, but by all means, show me where I in any way suggested I was quoting you. I can in fact criticise your attitude in this thread without using quotes. It's common to do so in fact.

I don't see why I should care enough to read things they didn't care enough to write. If people really want plausible sounding lies so bad I can lie to them cheaper and with lower environmental impact. For news I'd like accuracy please.
