The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. “the safest place” in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.
“Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was charged for a second time on Friday for not leaving a protest near an oil terminal after police ordered her to do so… If convicted again … she could face up to six months in prison.”
If Greta is thrown in prison while oil executives continue to walk free, I sure hope people start burning things down. I mean, burn it all down for all I care at this point. We’re being led by absolute fucking muppets.

I love grammar Nazis
If I make a grammar or spelling mistake, I’d love to be corrected.
Obviously, Nazing typos (a apple, the the beach, etc.) or intentionally made errors (starting a sentence with a lowercase, saying “id” instead of “I’d”, etc.) is annoying and stupid, but when I make mistakes like “breath in”, “immigrate from”, “alot”, “this will effect the economy”, and “I’ll tell mom”, I’d love to be corrected.
PS: it’s cactuses.
My favorite quote for today:
“One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all.”
― Arthur C. Clarke
