Vitamin P posted:"a plastic bag from a halal takeaway" is such wierd loving prose it's a sentence where dogwhistling has taken precedence over sounding like a human I guess saying she got a cheeky nandos didn't have the "SCARY FOREIGNER CLOUT" she wanted. JK Rowling is such a cursed person, I do wish her cancelling actually made me hear less about her though. She seems to be constantly in the discourse for some other gross thing she did lol. Get in the bin, hen.

Is Garry Bushell also a pen name of J.K. Rowling, because the whole thing reads like one of his "detective Harry 'arry' Hardman beat up the five big blacks and also the BNP skinhead because he wasn't a racist, and thought about the time that he'd thrown a homosexual Marxist university professor pedophile across a mosque so hard that it knocked a cross dressers burka off. Everywhere was a mosque now, of course, even Buckingham Mosque." novels.

"The world's gone mad it's full of deviants" I decry in between penning 900 pages about my obsession with what everyone looks like with their clothes off. Everywhere I look I think about people's genitalia, and it's the wokes fault.

I'm more annoyed when it's people talking about her free speech and defending her in conversation, like people are still sympathetic to her AND as ignorant. Big hate.

So my eldest kid is also now off sick from school and because they did a cough the school won't let them back till a covid test is done and negative- I checked the website and lo and behold- no drive in test sites found, no walk in test sites found, no home tests available. My son's school haven't said a word about testing and I'm fairly sure they are expecting him to return without one.

The Last Labour Government was still being used as a rhetorical device 2 months before the 1997 general election, after approx 18 years under tory rule. https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commo...42-554393bbdeaa And plus ça change, it's deployed in a debate about Europe, where one member asks "Are not the Tories being increasingly driven by Euro-sceptics into supporting a complete withdrawal from the European Community, which would cost 3.5 million jobs?"

feedmegin posted:To be fair it had already been sold to Softbank. Now it's just American instead of Japanese. It is something to be concerned about though. Softbank is a holding company, they generally just buy stuff, wait for it to grow (like apple announcing a huge deal with ARM) then sell it for a profit. Nvidia is tech company who will likely wont to merge elements of ARM into their own business. As much as Nvidia pinky promise not to move the guts of ARM out of Cambridge, they will try it at some point. And the Government should put things in place to prevent this, however this goes against glorious free capitalism, so likely won't happen.

Didn't Kraft make all kinds of pledges about keeping Cadburys British then immediately broke all of them? Like, they didn't even wait a few years to pretend it was an unfortunate necessity of the business environment - they just disregarded everything they'd committed to do the moment the ink was dry on the contracts.

peanut- posted:Didn't Kraft make all kinds of pledges about keeping Cadburys British then immediately broke all of them? Yes. Any promise that isn’t accompanied by an enforceable penalty for breaking it is worthless. In case of well, actually: for casual promises then the enforceable penalty is usually that you won’t like them any more.

The sadly hilarious part of this is that we have this homegrown company whose product is at the heart of the one hot consumer item with global reach that cuts across class and age demographics, the mobile phone, just as we're severing ties with our closest trading ally and we desperately need something relevant to keep international trade alive. And we're STILL loving it up.

Yo UKMT! Got me some books from Verso, might try and pick up some more every fortnight when I get my JSA cos books are good. This week I have Minima Moralia by Theodor Adorno and Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson. Might start with Imagined Communities, seems appropriate at the moment.
