BOYS DON’T CRY CURE

That was, sort of, my point. The original comment was that Mandelson didn't need vetting because he was in HoL AND a Privvy Counsellor.

Do you need vetting to be a Privvy Counsellor?

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

in honor of The Onion officially taking over InfoWars, what’s a conspiracy theory you 100% believe?

Michael Jordan was doing the exact same shit as Pete Rose (gambling on games his team played in) during his playing career and Nike+the NBA have…done what it took to keep that quiet.

Mandelson was appointed because he has the dirt on Trump and so could help the UK to secure preferential trade deals.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

When we promised to pay the energy bills of everyone in the street, we meant it in the same way as when we promised to cut council tax.

The modus operandi of these people is to exhaust us into submission.

DEGREES OF DANGER e S TROUBLING times for UK universities with outposts in Dubai, as students are warned to stay indoors and study online due to what campus leadership is variously describing as, ahem, "regional developments" (De Montfort University) and "the ongoing circumstances" (Middlesex University). De Montfort's campus at Dubai's Internet City has been shut since early March, when missile debris fell nearby, thanks to what it calls, er, "heightened regional tensions". It has reassured students that "UAE maintains strong security infrastructure" and reminds them to rely only on announcements from the UAE government, the university or their home country's foreign affairs advice. "Avoid sharing or acting on unverified information circulating on social media," it warns. Middlesex likewise has encouraged students to stick to the "guidance" issued by state authorities not to photograph or share images of any incidents

or debris to "avoid unnecessary concern or confusion". But there's no mention from any of the UK universities of the risk of arrest, under UAE's harsh "cybercrime" laws, for sharing any information about missile and drone activity, which has seen hundreds of people detained for as little as private messages reassuring family that they're safe after an incident.
