  Kind of makes you want to prod Trump. Bring on the nuclear winter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK weather: Amber extreme heat warning issued as 35C heatwave approaches⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Even worse, in the 2000s it was the done thing to install cavity wall insulation and loft insulation to keep the heat in.

  Hooray.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people fed up with stations bending the knee to Trump, tune into PBS or Local Channel's or start their own. Kind of like stephen colbert did for the ultimate fuck you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was the government agency that sent funds to PBS members. PBS itself is independent. CPB only amounted to $200,000 pa. Its a significant hit, but not existential for PBS members. They may have to reduce their ambitions, while the major ones such as WGBH will experience very little impact as they can dip into other sources of funding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is all Hollywood Casting all the same? From like just a side character up to like James Bond or Superman? Or are big names like those is casting different?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Bond until now has been cast cast differently, in Britain, by an independent family-owned company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most of the US blame Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks? Al-Qaeda may have been trained there but that doesn't makes Saudi's responsible does it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Al-Quaeda was part of a network of Wahabist terror organisations; wahabism is chiefly sustained and funded by the Saudi establishment, and Al Quaeda had its financial base there. Most of the perpetrators of 9/11 were Saudi, and two of these had strong contact with Saudi intelligence. There are circumstantial pointers too, such as the head of Saudi intelligence being summarily dismissed days before the attacks, having served in post since 1979.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most comedians have different drinks to drink? Most have water, Ricky usually has beer, some have whiskey and such. I get the lights make them thirst. But why not all water or something?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It usually is water. Even the “beer”.

  1066?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zack Polanski says 7p carrots are too cheap. But is it hurting farmers or addressing food poverty?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Still requires large amounts of fertiliser, diesel, water, and labour over the growth cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban on Palestine Action was lawful, court of appeal rules⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the appeal. Judges are not arbiters, that’s why the Court of Appeals exists to hold them accountable to the law. The issue here isn’t the judiciary, its the legislation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban on Palestine Action was lawful, court of appeal rules⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t have

  The purpose of the Court of Appeals is to evaluate the lower court’s application of judicial discretion. The lower court’s decision is only overturned when it is determined there has been an “abuse of discretion” - that the judge’s discretion does not follow the law as laid down.

  So in this process, the Appeal Court judge has to go back and see what is on the statute books, and make their judgement on a point of law, rather than discretion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is coding possible on smart phones ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Apps exist, often with keyboard augmentation, but I don’t see it being useful for much more than touchups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban on Palestine Action was lawful, court of appeal rules⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They could have easily upheld the decision? Based on what law? The specific actions required under the Terrorism Act 2000 include serious property damage. Also serious violence against a person. Both of which apply here and led to the JTAC designation of Palestine Action as a terror group.

  While it’s egregious to call property damage “terrorism”, that is how the law stands. It is for legislators to change that, not the judiciary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban on Palestine Action was lawful, court of appeal rules⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A simplistic argument to be sure. In that linked article however,

  But in the eyes of the law, in the UK, PA can be labelled as terrorists.  Under the Terrorism Act 2000 this applies if they plan or carry out ‘serious damage to property’ if that is ‘designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public’ and when that is ‘for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.’

  Therefore, following the law, proscription is lawful. It’s not the courts’ place to legislate. The fault is with MPs not judges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My favourite moment of the world cup is when there's more rules about advertising than the sport⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it cheaper to find and view 2 Girls 1 Cup than it is to read the news on NY Times?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still expensive to run an ongoing news organisation, unlike a janky old video from decades ago.
