“We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone’s civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services.”

How in the name of fuck anyone thinks they can prevent encryption is beyond me. That ship sailed 30 years ago. People who want it will find a way.

Yeah it’s piss poor. They shot down 4 out of 19. There’s some speculation that they didn’t want to reveal the location of air defence batteries but honestly it smells like ass coverage.

Little nibble first though… Just to help you relax.

Trump called on Europe to do more

Arm Ukraine to the fucking teeth? Got it.

Forza Italia!

And a peace prize of course.

listening to folk songs and clips of speeches by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Lol. Gotta glaze the supreme leader while you drive recklessly.

Fucking love New York. The high line is incredible.

I hear you but nah. We’re thankfully not following the rest of the world. There are slightly more bonkers people now than ten years ago but I’m hoping we’ll still be the reasonable country for a long while yet.

I’d nearly like to see him on the ballot just to damage his ego when he gets about twenty votes. He’s roundly disliked here.

Damn! He was close when he threw it. Solid work getting away.

There’s zero chance thankfully. There’s an initial hurdle of getting on the ballot that he won’t pass (plus he’s roundly considered an idiot here).

From this page:

To be eligible for election as President, you must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. You must be nominated either by:

• At least 20 members of the Oireachtas
• At least 4 local authorities
• Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves

Oireachtas means parliament.

Yeah in the face of it they were pragmatic. Given the circumstances, after the initial outmanoeuvre I’ve never seen anyone criticise what they did with a meaningful alternative and they ate shit to get the Brits back across the channel so they could fight another day.

Vive la France! 🇫🇷

“French are cowards” trope

Yeah I hate that one. France being great and the French being a bunch of legends aside, the French army is the most successful in all of history to the best of my knowledge. That one “recent” blip aside.

You have to hand it to the Germans though… The oul blitzkrieg was a game changer. No shade on the French. Maybe a little for not reinforcing the Ardennes route but sure look, hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

That video was amazing! Super work tbh.

You’re speaking for yourself, me and more or less everyone I hung out with which back then was a decent sized social group. I was barely competent to vote at 18.

100% idiot at 16. No shame admitting it.

Straight up cunt thing to do. That poor girl.

What you’re missing is that after Brexit the EU is desperate to appear to citizens that they’re listening and this would be such an easy win that yeah, I really expected them to not only listen but actually get their fingers out of their collective arseholes and do something about it.

Blah blah funding. Sure, start by targeting games that sell over X units or Y euros in revenue.

If the article is correct then it’s a massive missed opportunity.
