  • [Video] LBC interviewer exposes the double standard of ex minister calling for the banning of Palestine marches

  • Ex minister. She's a Tory, not currently in government. Not that that really detracts from the point, but it's good to be accurate to prevent shitebags from using simple mistakes to derail the point being made.

  • Gonna be an interesting Friday!

    I bloody hope not! I'm fed up of living in "interesting times".

    Gi'e's an SNP / Greens coalition, get us back to socialising public infrastructure, and renew the push for independence again because it's been 12 years since thon last vote. Or "once in a generation" as they put it.

    Nae right wing shite bags please. Nae "Labour" run by rich loons who've never done a day's labour in their life. Back to fit we hud a few years ago please, that was going pretty well until Yousaf let his ego get in the way.

  • Over the course of the last decade, each year has seen an average of 2,685 new laws - the equivalent of almost seven and a half a day or one every three-and-a-quarter hours

    This was in 2007 in the UK. But I imagine it's much the same in the US. Literally impossible for anybody to follow every law, but that doesn't matter because as you say they're selectively enforced

  • I Work For an Evil Company, but Outside Work, I’m Actually a Really Good Person

    I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.

    Let me give you an example...

  • Aye, we've almost all learned digital skills. And as time passes the skills required to perform digital tasks reduces as user interfaces and automation improve. What many of us don't have however is digital understanding.

    This is from a speech by the founder of lastminute.com and now member of the UK's House of Lords

    We have let these things come upon us, but it is not too late to wake up. If we want to change this dynamic and shape the future, we need to recapture some of the internet’s original promise and more of its positive transformative power. That means we need to understand – at all levels of society – what our digital world really is. We need to address the challenges that already exist and preempt the ones we don’t know about.

    We live our digital lives this way because we have the skills to do so. 91% of us in the UK have the ability to use the internet. This is a remarkable achievement – and it’s important to continue the work to close the remaining gap and include those who are still without the skills or the access to use the internet.

    But we also need to move beyond skills to understanding. Nearly all UK internet users have the digital skills to use a search engine, but only half know how to distinguish between search results and adverts. Around two-thirds of our digitally skilled population can shop and bank online – but a third don’t make any checks before entering their personal or financial information online. More than 1.4 million of us work in tech-related jobs – but, as the recent WannaCry attack showed us, hardly anyone is investing the time, resources or expertise to keep our systems safe. The list goes on.

    Becoming a nation of people with digital understanding will be different and more complicated than becoming a nation of people with digital skills. For starters, digital skills are tangible and teachable: download this app, program this device. They also reinforce the idea that digital is something we do – time-bound and transactional.

    But in a world where we spend more time online than we do asleep and where everything from our televisions to our kettles can connect to the internet, digital is something we are. Understanding is not a race to be run and won. It is a lifelong process of learning, one unique to each of us.

    The full speech is available here. It was given in the House of Lords and is obviously directed towards UK parliamentarians but the concepts apply globally. I recommend reading the whole thing.

    Contributing isn't just posting. This is social media, not just media. Comments are as much a contribution as posts.

  • I think you've got your links muddled. They're both the same interview

  • Zack Polanski’s criticism of Golders Green attack arrest will have ‘chilling effect’, says Met chief

    Jump

  • Polanski retweeted, without comment, a post on X accusing officers on the scene of “repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head” when he was already incapacitated from being Tasered.

    Cops asking for solidarity, in beating an already incapacitated person, is peak irony from the epitome of class traitors.

    Also interesting that the article didn't link the tweet, as is common practice with news like this...
