This is extremely, extremely alarming.

Look, if you show up for a protest and you slash car tires and break a security camera, you do that understanding that there may be personal consequences — and for vandalizing gov property, as the price of civil disobedience, maybe you accept your 9-month sentence + probation.

You do not accept a 50- or 70- or 100-year sentence. Many murderers get less time than that. If they murdered Alex Pretti or Renee Good, they apparently get no time at all.

This isn’t justice. It’s suppression. It’s authoritarianism.

Elpris på typ 10 kr per kWh i Belgien.
Franskt kärnkraftverk avstängt pga kylvattenproblem.

Värmebölja som kanske bara är en föraning av framtiden.

Vad sägs om rejäla klimatåtgärder och seriös energiomställning ?!

"Trump’s botched reflecting pool becomes 2028ft metaphor ... has proven irresistible for the president’s critics"

Idk, I think its a pretty poor metaphor, and critics caring abt this are telling on themselves abt their vapid politics, its mostly about posting

Yesterday, US bombed another civilian boat off SA

ffs US started a war by assassinating leaders resulting in AI assisted targeting choosing a girls school to destroy with a tomahawk missile, then again, and again, in a triple tap strike

Have Y'all seen what Walmart is doing? They're implementing digital pricing, where you have to scan a QR code with your phone, or use their app, to find out what the price is. Talk about data mining. They also took out all the handheld scanners, so it forces you to use your phone. I think Kroger and Target are also looking into doing the same thing, including dynamic pricing, which is a fancy way of saying price gouging, with price fluctuations based on demand, kind of like how Uber does peak demand pricing. I hate it.

As an old, I don't even take my phone with me everywhere. I don't always want to bother keeping up with it, so I leave it at home on the charger. I guess people like us don't count.

So, to retail stores with no prices, even on clothing merchandise tags, restaurants with no physical menu, and businesses whose website info. can only be accessed via social media: I want nothing to do with you! I will find a way to get what I need, without you.

These stores also want to use facial recognition software to get information on your buying habits, so it's a great time to mask up in public spaces.

I wish I were being paranoid. The truth is, I probably don't even know the half of it.

There's a dark, musty room in the basement of #10, where Lecterns Of PMs Past are kept. It can only be opened by one old guy who is charged with keeping the key about his person at all times.

Occasionally, when the door is opened, the lecterns will have moved around; sometimes one is lying broken in a pile of splinters.

Thatcher's lectern is kept separately, in its own antechamber. It is chained to the walls and floor. But that doesn't stop the endless screaming.
