Congratulations to us for functionally banning children from major parts of life and society that are in fact fine for children to participate in
Seriously, @Wise? My daughter isn't allowed to buy chocolate? Every transaction she makes on her card pops up as a notification on my phone, and she knows it. I don't need you to do any more parenting for me than that, thanks.
Does she not realise how life destroying it is to drag an innocent person through the courts for them to decide on a case by case basis, or that they don't have the time. It was her job to define the law clearly, of course all this is a feature not a bug seeing as she is a swerf

Can't imagine why Russia wouldn't agree to "peacekeeping" NATO troops in Ukraine intended to "rebuild Ukrainian army".
Hundreds of British troops deploy to Poland in first test of UK-led task force designed to rebuild Ukrainian army amid warning Russia may seek to 'oppose' effort trib.al/RK5vA4c

βschumer is so widely despised by his own party that heβs almost certainly not running for re-election to avoid the humiliation of being primaried. this is why he should be the senate majority leaderβ
these people are beyond parody
Letβs break this down logically.
Schumer knows these are his last two years in office. If you know anything about him, youβd know that he would want to end his career on his own terms and go out on top.
He knows that if he ran again, he would lose renomination. Which is why I β and essentially everyone that works in Democratic politics in New York across the ideological spectrum β would be absolutely stunned if he runs for re-election.
So why would someone launching a primary campaign against him before January change his plans to run for majority leader?
He likely views these last two years as majority leader as his swan song.

the uk: 16s and under arent mature enough to be on the internet at ALL!!
also the uk: yeah so we're gonna make 15 and 16 year olds take exams that their futures depend on and if they dont pass they cant get a good job and will probably go into poverty
This is exactly what New Lab did last time with draconian anti terror legislation. Those of us arguing that it was an assault on everyones civil liberties were cast as terror supporters and guess what we were right, those laws are now used to target journalists at borders

God it's so tiring. Another insanely authoritarian move, framed in such a way that any reasonable opposition will be smeared as enablers/supporters of CSAM.
And of course she's a swerf advocate of the Nordic policy kindof goes without saying
Excl w/ @conky_k: A row over new pornography laws risks trivialising violence against women and girls, a minister has said, as she insisted she was not a "modern-day Mary Whitehouse" intent on policing people's bedrooms.
Alex Davies-Jones, the justice minister, said an argument about what would be banned under the measures had overshadowed the dangers of violent pornography and left victims of sexual strangulation feeling their experiences were being βmocked openly onlineβ.
Laws came into force on Friday making it illegal to possess or publish pornography depicting strangulation or suffocation.
Critics of the law claimed certain sex acts could fall foul of the measures if they were interpreted as restricting airflow.
Alex Davies-Jones told The Times: Davies-Jones said: βLook, if what youβre doing between two consenting adults is legal, safe and consensual, then crack on, thatβs not my place to interfere with your sex life.
βBut the government does have a duty to keep everyone safe, and if you are filming something that is clearly dangerous and illegal, and then that is resulting in real-world harm, if you possess that pornography and if youβre sharing it, then there will be criminal sanctions available to the police and CPS to take forward if applicable.β

What a surprise Alex Davies-Jones again insisting that criticism is evil and unacceptable. She should have lost of seat the minute those two activists were acquitted. Such a petty authoritarian should be no where near power

βοΈπ Lesson from today's Riyadh attack: There are only 3 verified videos of the damaged Aramco building.
Without them, the state would have denied all damage. Remember: 8 million citizens, yet only 3 videos got out.
Don't expect much footage when Ansarallah strikes facilities in less populated areas...

Don't worry though, the government isn't going to stop under 16s, or over 16s for that matter, from being groomed for death by Establishment War Perverts constantly messaging everyone about spending all the money that could be used to make our lives better, on big dirty weapons.

Sexually repressive societies are anti-woman and anti-child. We all need freedom to be and become ourselves and we donβt need poxy patriarchs telling us how to enjoy our bodies.
The new neoliberal urge to spin sexual repression as feminism is predictable (but complete bullshit).

"the ebay ban doesn't bother me"
it will darling
Australia admitted in the High Court that its under-16 social media ban and age verification law burdens political speech. Tasmania argued Parliament shouldnβt need evidence of harm. The Northern Territory said political participation can cost you your privacy.
The ban is supposed to keep kids off social media. It also makes every adult prove their age to post. The kids found a way around it, but the adults are still stuck with it.

This would be perfectly legal for Iran to do btw. If you allow your territory to be used to commit aggression against another state, you are the aggressor too
This is big!
Iran has named up to 15 Western bases across nine countries, Ramstein in Germany, RAF Fairford in Britain, sites in Italy and Greece, as targets IF Trump uses them to strike Iran.
The order from the Supreme Leader is from Iran updating its previosuly declared 10 military doctrines, now making it 11 military doctrines for a response with "No Geographic limit"... See my latest YouTube Episode #3 where I deep dive into all 11 doctrines.
This is a "conditional" threat.
Iran strikes those bases ONLY if Trump and USA hits it from these bases first, which makes it a deterrent rather than a war plan.
Iran cannot trade blows with the United States directly, so it moves the risk onto the coalition's hosts instead.
It puts a quiet question to Germany, Britain, Italy and Greece. Is lending your soil to an American strike worth becoming a target yourself?
That is "deterrence by punishment" aimed at the weakest links in the chain. Iran gains more from Germany picturing a strike on Ramstein than from carrying one out.
The goal is hesitation, a government and a public that think twice before the base is used. Peel one host away and the strike architecture gets harder to run.
European officials say there is "no imminent" threat. Based on Iran's demonstrated and declared missile capabilities, Iran can reach the European continent.
None of this is improvised. It follows Iran's OWN military doctrine step by step.
I break down why Iran escalates to exactly this, through the 11 military doctrines of Iran and a game theory lens, in my latest video.

Signal, not noise!

Yes, look: βshould we agree these people are terrorists on par with Al Qaeda and ISISβ was not a cunning ploy designed to trick the unwary, and nobody signed up for it who didnβt know exactly what they were doing and why.
