Squirrels can imitate bird calls to lure them to the ground and savagely devour them.

Gracious, it's like Autumnwatch in here today.

For squirrels, read Lib Dems, for bird calls read progressive politics.

Leftist shitposters utterly humiliating Lib Dem leaders is a great thing. Honestly thought the Squirrel killer thing wouldn't cut through like gay frogs but here we are. Convinced we'll get Jo coming out in favour of killing squirrels if the pattern continues.

Welcome to tiny train world I guess.

Humanity in general is vulnerable to so many cognitive tricks that the total connectivity of society while it was still in a state of great division, competitions and exploitation really made this inevitable.

I saw a fairly lovely business talk about businesses which investigate fake news to build corporate defences against them and while they mostly spoke about infosec one of them was mentioning expanding into cogsec - cognitive security to address the various tricks which could be deployed against groups of people to manipulate them. I imagine this'll amount to little more than getting probusiness propaganda in first but it's still a bit creepy to have to be considering this sort of thing.

Kantar polling but it makes sense, that's Tories in Tory seats returning to vote Tory or not at all after Brexit stand down, it's a big vote swing but makes only a minor change to seats.

this is pretty good poo poo, you've also got the Raab-Banks exchange where Raab thanks Banks for threatening Farage, which was what caused the brexit party standdown.

I've put £5 on the Lib Dems getting 5%-9.99% so they're clearly going to get at least 10% now sorry.

Also got LAB on 35%-39.99%, ignoring all advice about betting on things you want to happen.

As a lifelong Lib Dem member, I'm afraid that I must bow my head and shamefully vote Conservative after it was discovered that our dear leader is possessed by a bloodlust that can only be satiated with the industrial scale murder of squirrels. She learned all the wrong lessons from The Animals of Farthing Wood.
