Okay, Cain, what's the scoop on Rishi Sunak?  Never heard of him.

He's twice as rich as the King of England.

Literally that's all you need to know, it tells you everything about him. But for a brief rundown, he's a creature of the banks, he was willing to serve in Boris Johnson's cabinet, he has the same cavalier belief that he is above the rules that Boris Johnson does and he's already mislead Parliament, engaged in antisemitic dogwhistles and re-appointed significant nutters and criminals to high office.

He is more competent than Truss, probably one of the most competent front bench Tories in all honesty. But given their baseline competence, you shouldn't expect much.

They're protesting heavily against restrictions on women's rights, specifically the bullshit about modest clothing, though there's the usual underlying reasons (spiralling inflation as a result of increased fuel prices and disruption from the Ukraine conflict). It's not a revolution, but it is significant unrest.

Hi, y'all.

I left Dark Finance.

I'm a cook.

Last band broke up.

New band is cool: https://badvrb.bandcamp.com/album/ep1

Shall I mark all as READ?

Only if you don't want an update on the cat's penis.

Starfleet is just a propaganda op for Section 31, the real armed forces of the Federation.

And I thought *I* was being Captain Sunshine, here.   

The last few years of living in the UK have honed my cynicism to newfound depths, rarely seen by man or god. I just think to myself "what's the most cynical and self-serving explanation for this" and then watch as the Cabinet proves me right, time and time again.

Starfleet is just a propaganda op for Section 31, the real armed forces of the Federation.

And demoting his husband to a personal assistant and working for Majorie Taylor Greene.

On the plus side, he's still banned from Twitter for forever 

That does sound about right. Especially no genitals in schools. Only for the wall.

MmmmmmmmmmBUMP!

Well it's 2022, 11years later.
This cat still has no balls, no penis, and now TWO fewer toes.
He is still alive. STILL.
I'm still sorry about his penis!

Goddamnit, can't have nothing for free in Florida, not even a penis.

End of an era.

Not that I think Facebook is too long for this world anyway. I mean, I don't see it dying right away, but I think five years time there'll be significant drop-off in users.

Some Ivorian reggae never hurts

I saw the picture on Facebook! How's the (lack of) tooth feeling?

I'm sorry, I'm sure it's a really angry screed he wrote there, but I can't get over how he typed angrily in ALL CAPS only for his phone to change it to caps at the start of the sentence instead.

That's pretty much exactly what is going on. I suspect they have some kind of very narrowly defined criterea where it can get kicked up to an actual human, but since everyone except bots wants their disputes viewed by a human they have to keep it narrow or else they'd be overwhelmed (or they could hire a proper content management department, but that would involve committing to spend money long-term).

I suspect they also don't really want to moderate content effectively, because as soon as they start showing they can they'll have to justify keeping all the bullshit artists, bigots and bots on the website.

How else will you protect your children when 30-50 feral prarie dogs invade your yard?

American exceptionalism is when more children die from gun deaths than any other single cause. And the more children are dead, the more America is exceptional.
