Anyone else feel like the whole #QAnon / “Deep State” conspiracy thing is actually broadly playing out as theorised? It’s just implicating “the wrong people”, as far as the right is concerned…

Mastodon, in my experience, is unequivocally left-leaning. People that use mastodon (/the Fediverse) want more people to use it, to help free us from centralised tech overlords. But, apparently, there now needs to be some gatekeeping because people are seeing things they don’t like? The irony.
Is there maybe space for another ballroom? Or some other sort of redecorating project? Can’t be THAT hard to find something to distract him.
Can someone with time on their hands do a “Who said it?” quiz with #Trump versus Kim Jong Un, please?
Today I learned a depressing new phrase: “the tyranny of the majority”. Apparently, this is how the privileged view the plebs…
In 2023, a woman named Nicola Bulley went missing in the UK.
While this was unfolding, an old friend from university, who emmigrated to the US (MANY years ago), visited the UK. He was amazed at how much CCTV footage was available to track this woman’s movements. He firmly believed that US citizens would go NUTS if they were under that much surveillance.
Now I hear that there is a company called #FlockSafety that not only provides video surveillance, but automated [number] plate recognition ([ANPR]) and “gunfire locator systems”, and “supporting software to integrate the data gathered by these technologies”.
I’m just speechless. If law enforcement use ANPR in the UK, they often have to warn people in advance, and yet this is an always-on service?! Incredible.
Maybe the British Legion should reconsider their Poppy Appeal slogan based on the prevailing public mood. Something like: “Wear your poppy or else…”
So, now in the USA, while you’re pregnant with your rapist’s baby, you shouldn’t have pain relief.
Can’t quite believe that the UK government is in exactly the same position as it was throughout the Sunak years. Completely obsessed with its own appearance whilst, apparently, doing absolutely nothing of note except talking about illegal migration. Pass a Bill or something. Jeez.
When your Vice President proudly carries the coffin of a self-avowed white supremacist, Christian nationalist, it’s time to stop lying to yourself.
