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.

Came home from the Philadelphia boycott bike ride wondering why the traction on my shoes was less than usual and have discovered that they’re covered in tacks that were deployed on the crowd by Zionist counter protestors

Can't imagine why Russia wouldn't agree to "peacekeeping" NATO troops in Ukraine intended to "rebuild Ukrainian army".

β€œschumer is so widely despised by his own party that he’s almost certainly not running for re-election to avoid the humiliation of being primaried. this is why he should be the senate majority leader” these people are beyond parody
Let’s break this down logically. Schumer knows these are his last two years in office. If you know anything about him, you’d 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.

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.
Yes I am sure it’s only in big tech’s interest to stop software that scans and checks every single piece of content, and is capable of forced censorship, being mandatorily installed on every device. No public interest there at all.

Under 16s aren't using eBay or Vinted so yet another pretend "protect the children" thing is actually some draconian measure to surveil and control the population, is this just going to be what happens every week now?

βœοΈπŸ”Ž 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...
Saudi Ministry of Energy says "attempted" attack on a Saudi Aramco building in Riyadh, which they say is due to "shrapnel falling". *Since when does "falling debris" smash horizontally into the upper floors of a skyscraper? πŸ˜…

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 don’t 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).

Australia admitted in the High Court that its under-16 social media ban and age verification law burdens political speech. Tasmania argued Parliament shouldn’t 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. reclaimthenet.org/australia-…

The British dream is selling your house for 10x what you bought it for and fucking off to Greece
The UKs version of the American dream is retiring with a fully paid of Β£325k house on a pension that is barely enough to cover your utility bills.

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. See full video YouTube video in comments below. Signal, not noise!

Yes, look: β€œshould we agree these people are terrorists on par with Al Qaeda and ISIS” was not a cunning ploy designed to trick the unwary, and nobody signed up for it who didn’t know exactly what they were doing and why.
Labour MPs often give the impression of being the most credulous fools on the planet, but they are also adept in whitewashing their complicity in the stupidity of others.

Hash matching without dedicated device-side applications that scan can only be done by intercepting and decrypting all traffic to and from the devices. Either way the government will have direct access to everything you do and see at all times.
