  It’s not a typo, I just lazily wrote the comment like I’d speak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why you assume this? I never made the claim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  [x] Doubt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  One day it’s gonna come out that it was all a prank organised on 4chan, isn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Aaaaaaaaaaand this is how you nuke support from orbit.

  This way isn’t working either. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and brainstorm some better ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect it’s for the publicity. Events like this attract different demographics than the usual targets, so it’s more exposure. It might not make the tabloids but it does get reported on.

  Historically, any publicity has been seen as good publicity. But, given the reputation they are building, I think this is not how it is playing out.

  So I agree, it just makes people with little to no power feel blamed. Time for a change of approach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Government debunked 15-minute city conspiracy it now backs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The word “agenda” triggers a Pavlovian rage response in me.

  The sheer number of times I’ve seen some right-wing numpty angrily posting things like “what is your AGENDA?!” in response to political figures has permanently tainted the word for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rishi Sunak scraps home energy efficiency taskforce⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jo Cox was murdered by a fascist wasn’t she? What kind of warning are you talking about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand admits ‘extraordinary and distressing week’ and floats media conspiracy over sex assault allegations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had any doubts about his guilt they were eradicated as soon as he called this a deep state conspiracy. Nobody is conspiring against has-been comedians.

  I hope that the police look into these allegations. Chasing his monetisation is not a punishment since he is already wealthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with that is that the public should never get to be judge, jury, and executioner. Rumour and gossip should not be the basis for something this severe.

  Brand has made more than enough money to live his life peacefully out of the public eye. The court of public opinion is only capable of ruining the wrong peoples’ lives, people who don’t have wealth and fame. The rich and powerful can uncancel themselves after a short period of exile, should they wish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a tax on poor people, its a tax on unhealthy food, which you’ll be surprised to find out that everyone eats regardless of economic class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this would be more effective than a lot of us lefties would like to admit. “Healthy” food is already affordable, people just don’t want to eat it when there are other options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I really do wish allegations of this level of seriousness could go through the legal system before being presented to the court of public opinion. If he’s actually assaulting 16 year olds then he needs sending down!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starmer assistant among lobbyists working for shadow cabinet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a worry of mine that we will be giving so much power to Labour at the next election

  And it’s a worry of mine that you’re about to hand it straight back to the Conservatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clapham stabbing: Two men injured in homophobic attack⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Things like this will increase in frequency as long as the culture war is seen as a viable strategy by the right wing. We’ve worked hard to make this country more accepting, we can’t let it slip back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wilko collapses into administration putting 12,000 jobs at risk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Devastated. After Wickes collapsed Wilko became my go to for DIY stuff. Garden stuff, pet food and toys, all easy to grab from Wilko and IMO much better quality than it’s rivals in Amazon (fuck Amazon 😡) B&M (meh 😐) or Poundstretcher (why waste your money there?🤮).

  I suspect a lot more than just competition is playing into this. Currently high interest rates will be making that £40m loan sting.

  Another one to add to the list of data security cockups made by the UK government…

  Leeanderthal strikes again. At least when he’s eating cat food he can’t speak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traditional TV sees biggest fall in viewers since Ofcom records began⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need to write to them. You do it on their site. 3 minutes effort and no more letters. I’m in favour of abolishing the license fee but refusing to just let them know is a weird hill to die on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traditional TV sees biggest fall in viewers since Ofcom records began⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you tell them you don’t need a license they stop sending letters. I’ve never had this problem and I’ve nof had a TV license at any time since I became an adult. I’ve only had to let them know when I’ve moved. No spam mail in ~15 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home Office secretly backs facial recognition technology to curb shoplifting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Inb4 this does jack shit to stop shoplifting.

  Not because the government have an ulterior motive or because the tech is bad at identifying people, but because the police won’t do anything as they’re too busy being ambush rapists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Umm I think I'll just delete you instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Large open source projects like Signal don’t really rely on individual donations, but instead survive off wealthy supporters or sponsors.
