Yeah, no shit. Words can't describe how furious I am about Jan. 6 and the utter lack of accountability for the powerful people responsible for it. Including the GOP bootlickers in power at the time and still to this day.

That... actually sounds like an interesting idea for a board game

If my theory is right I suppose it'd be because they need more than 2.3 million immigrants

Yes and readmission should certainly include things that they didn't insist on before, thing that made it easier for the UK to leave - common currency and the like.

Agreed and I feel like people are sleepwalking on this. Between Russian agression and concerns from the USA and China - we shouldn't just be welcoming the UK, we should be working hard to bring them back to the fold. If the EU want to keep living in a world where the EU is possible, they've got to start making stronger efforts to protect and shape it.

I wonder if the immigration thing is a mistake of Brexit or if it's what the Powers That Be wanted all along. Dumping that many EU nationals yet having a net increase of 2.3 million seems like it could only mean the kind of cheap and manipulable labor that the moneyed interests want.

Yeah I can, add a hinge and swivel so it can go widescreen too

He's done some good things domestically but his foreign policy has ranged from 'wet rag' to 'complete and utter joke' to 'travesty'

That gif is giving me a seisure

Yeah I try not to be an ass about being wrong

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.

Ah well glad to learn something

Huh, I stand corrected!

Absolutely agreed. I'd love to say that I left Facebook and then Twitter for heroic reasons but both of them pushed me out when there was no longer a way to just get the reverse chronological. Facebook when the algos took over and then Twitter when they started forcing people to pay for Tweetdeck.

I wish I had pockets big enough to replace the flimsy Bosch drawers in my fridge that start to shatter as soon as you pull just a tiny bit harder than normal.

Yeah an algorithm is a series of mathematic instructions so from my armchair I'd say sort by date is not an algorithm. But to complicate things further there seems to be a sticking point with some that social media uses heuristics and not algorithms. I don't really understand the difference nor do I really care as this is all too much about semantics - /u/grue's final point is still spot on IMO. Why mess with letting a billionaire toy with the minds of your citizens? Let the USA have twitter and all that chaos to themselves.

Jesus fuck I never would have guessed this meant actual pigs

Anyone who actually believed they would find $2 trillion was an idiot, the rest of us knew they'd just cut the things they hate, bump the subsidies that favor them and their friends, and call it a day.

Surely we can capitalism our way out of this mess that capitalism created!

Aren’t we all used to this by now? Ask him stupid questions and you’re going to get stupid answers.
