Zack WhittakerThe UK government is "largely run by WhatsApp," according to Boris Johnson's former comms chief, the BBC reports.
This is the same UK gov't that's pushing for the Online Safety Bill, which if passed into law would compel tech companies — including WhatsApp — to weaken their encryption in order to scan users' messages.
WhatsApp itself has said it'd rather be blocked in the UK than undermine its security.
The absolute self-owning stupidity of the UK gov't is astounding.

Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySo #RishiSunakPM has told #SteveBarclay that if he wishes to respond to the #NHScrisis by paying #Nurses more than previously offered, he can... the catch: the Dept. Health's budget will remain the same... so Sunak is essentially using the #NursesStrike as a way of doubling down on the defunding of the #NHS as money will be transferred from other budgets to payroll, thereby worsening the crisis... of course this has nothing to do with #Tory donors' interests (see other posts yesterday & today)

> Hard-Line Positions by Russia and Ukraine Dim Hope for Peace Talks
Demanding a violent invader leaves your house is not a "hard-line position." "Russian forces need to stop invading our land and killing us" is not a "hard-line position."
What the fsck is wrong with these people.

hannah onlineThere's good and bad stuff about wikipedia but one bright spot is that they've kept this joke running on the "list of cetaceans" article for at least 10 years
