hi @mwendling bbc.co.uk/news/live/c206zm81… you misunderstood the bullet inscription - it's not the antifa 3 arrows, it's this gaming meme for calling in a high powered attack
So the Helldivers 2 memes going around with this sequence of arrows on it are making a joke about call-in code for the most powerful air-dropped explosive in the game

The fundamental themes of ASOIAF, as I understood it, were a critique of epic fantasy's most popular trope: the chosen one who triumphs and brings about the return of the king.

The "remake Game of Thrones Season 8" petition is laughable if you see it as organized whiny fan entitlement, sure, but tbh I think it's not that deep: more that a throwaway joke went viral and tapped into a widespread dissatisfaction

Hi @Beer52HQ why are you making me listen to a fucking endless ad spiel before I can cancel my subscription? Do you want me to get you blocked by my bank? You want the credit rating ding?

Labour cutting disability benefit when literally TEN DUDES could cover the cost without even noticing it.
WE NEED POLITICIANS WHO WILL TAKE ON THE SUPER RICH
A tiny 2% wealth tax on assets over £10m could raise £4.1bn from the top 10 billionaires on the Sunday Times Rich List alone. That’s enough to reverse cuts to PIP disability benefit. #TakingThePIP

Something strange is happening in Chiswick.
A lot of the people who I was told don’t and won’t cycle appear to be cycling when safe infrastructure has been installed.

Should we follow Putin out of the ECHR?
Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

Think it’s important to say loudly that there was never a media/political cover up of Pakistani grooming gangs. What we actually had was a media/political culture of indifference and disinterest in vulnerable & socially marginalized children being raped & abused by anyone. >

periodic reminder that when financiers say software engineers should "be in it for love and not just for money" it's because they want to pay you less
This is false, but it might be a good thing if belief in it became moderately widespread, because then all the remaining programmers would be in it for love and not just for money.

3️⃣Companies can charge sky-high prices for scarce fossil fuels. But you can’t do that with abundant wind, solar, or water—nothing stops a competitor setting up nearby.
Gov should fix this market failure with a big tax on oil/gas profits. Instead, they’re doing the opposite....

The argument for courtyard blocks:
>Young families require a big house with a yard.
>Courtyard blocks supply young families with a big house with a yard without sacrificing density and commercial integration.
>We should build courtyard blocks to make cities family friendly.

Now we're back to 30% wind, expect Neil to not mention energy for another few months.
Gas is now 88%, wind still 5%, solar, with darkness, 0%. Plus we are being forced to pay, short-term, eye-watering prices for this electricity — far, far more than anything we saw after the invasion of Ukraine. So much for E Miliband’s promise to free us from price-gouging.

Folks, birthright citizenship isn't just some interpretation of a few weirdly phrased passages in the 14th Amendment. We had birthright citizenship BEFORE the 14th Amendment. It's actually one of the oldest and most fundamental principles of American law. 1/
