https://twitter.com/Baddiel/status/1650461382372933634 Baddiel with his take on the Dianne Abbot controversy. It's behind an easily circumvented paywall. He briefly mentioned the original article was about Jews and Travellers but then goes on to make his article all about how Jews don't count. He undermines his very point by that action. He re-enforces that there is a hierarchy and that prejudice against Jewish people in Britain is taken more seriously than against travelers, or other white minorities, and minorities in general.

The Sudan evacuation was really confusing for me at first because I could have sworn we did it two weeks ago but then I remembered I hate having to listen to the BBC special plead for our bunch of cunts in government/opposition so I watch NHK for lunchtime news and it was the Japanese government who evacuated their staff at the first sign of the unrest brewing. At least their corrupt always-in-power semi-fascist government actually give a gently caress about not looking like incompetent boobs.

Ah the man who did the comedy TV show dressed in black face, explaining that the first black woman MP is the real racist. Regardless of the impulse to be morally consistent about condemnations for racial slights. You gotta admit the disparity in outcome and scale based more on political divide than anything else, is producing some really strange outcomes.

The thing with discussions about Racism on social media, or really any prejudice you care to name is everybody, no matter how they've suffered at the hands of any kind of hate, no matter how woke you consider yourself to be, none of us are clean. At the very least, even those who spend their lives being paragons of virtue still benefit from historical injustices that established the societal priviledges we benefit from. The battle against this stuff starts from listening to people that are speaking about their experiences and looking at ourselves, first. You take a really important fight to social media like this and it becomes a whole thing about identifying your enemies first and pulling up their rap sheet and just hammering and hammering on that until nothing is learned and no-one benefits. This Diane Abbott thing is just the latest in a long line of similar fights and everyone involved in it is just adding to the endless churn until the next one comes along. It's depressing.

today I got an email from 3 telling me I owe them money, which was news to me because I haven’t had a phone with them for years and I’m sure I cancelled the contract at the time unfortunately I can’t find anything in writing so am I just SOL? or is the fact that I literally haven’t used their services in ~5 years enough to void the contact?

If it's from after you stopped using the phone you can probably tell them to gently caress off, but it might be sticky if you didn't actually cancel the contract.

The battle against this stuff starts from listening to people that are speaking about their experiences and looking at ourselves, first. I'm not suggesting ignoring history by this, because usually that history has a lot to do with the reasons behind the present experiences or material conditions, but when you just start talking about the transatlantic trade or Empire, you get a ton of the most disingenuous idiots responding with "but what about the burberry pirates Diane they kidnapped 8 billion whites and forced them to eat halal pizza Diane", whereas if you link it strongly to current material conditions then, well you still get the thousands of assholes because social media, but you also get to talk about a way forward together rather than just doing historical atrocity Top Trumps for media audiences. That's also why I'm a bigger fan of Touré Reed's more materialist economic anti-discrimination ideas than any of the main US or UK talking points ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SveyCYbXYWg

Julio Cruz posted:today I got an email from 3 telling me I owe them money, which was news to me because I haven’t had a phone with them for years and I’m sure I cancelled the contract at the time First question which I'm sure you've asked - is it a genuine email? Secondly, I'm on 3 and instead of taking my DD for the past 18 months, they've been crediting my account so I am now nearly £300 in credit (apparently). I haven't asked for it to be reimbursed (as I know it is an error) and I am saving the money I should be paying in a separate account against the day they finally realize their mistake - every year when the contract price goes up, they just increase the amount they are crediting me with! Maybe they did something similar with you and just caught up? I just dare not get involved with their customer services after a giant fiasco with them a couple of years ago when for neither love nor money could I sign in to their wretched website without creating a whole new email address and having their CS person on the end of the messenger chat for over an hour while he tried & tried to get me on to the site! My current contract with them expires in October so maybe they'll catch up then (and by now of course, my bank has removed the direct debit authorisation which they have a habit of doing if unused for 13 months without asking first which has put me in a slightly awkward position once before regarding a credit card DD when I was abroad). Their homehub broadband though has been absolutely excellent! In 4 years there has been one dodgy week and less than a handful of 'no internet' days and the speed is pretty good as a non-gamer for my purposes almost always. (80MB in theory but 40-50MB most of the time). Thirdly, yeah try and do what Seb said. Ed: Redacted my fourthly as apparently it would be fraud if done.

Some of the spam emails look pretty genuine with some of the links in the mail going to 3's real website, but the ones they actually want you to click going to the scammer's site. So I'm sure you are anyway, but be real careful if you follow any links.

There were some rumours about rent boys years ago, and good old bullying is always a possibility for a whip. But it's very strange that there's not even been a hint of a whisper about it in nine months, given how leaky Westminster has been for literally every other suspended MP I can think of.

I watched the movie Tár in a plane yesterday and it occurred to me that you could totally make that movie about a UK broadsheet columnist instead, with the only difference being that at the end the entire industry would close ranks to make sure Tár didn’t face any significant career setback.

Julio Cruz posted:I’m 99% sure I did but it would have been over the phone rather than by email, and their support is so loving bad it wouldn’t surprise me if they just didn’t OK, as others have said, your first action needs to be to verify the email. I would do this by phoning them. Then, I would actually talk to them and make clear that you requested cancellation of the contract and that this is an error at their end. The customer service person you speak to won’t be able to clear your alleged debt themselves, but they absolutely can go out of their way to gently caress you over if you’re horrible to them. They should escalate your complaint, and if they don’t immediately cancel the alleged money you owe, keep asking them to escalate the issue and for proof that the phone has been used at all in the time since you claim to have cancelled. Eventually, someone with the power to do so will realise that the combined time and salary of all the people who have been involved amounts to more than the money they could get from you, and cancel it. This isn’t based on any legal qualifications, but on customers who I have dealt with who cancel orders: eventually if they complain enough, the approval comes to me and I make sure they are refunded. I don’t work for Three, but every company I’ve ever dealt with has followed this exact model if there is ever any grey area about who is in the right.

While yes it should be a criminal offence (and I would be surprised if it wasn't already) it's marvellous how that utterly fails to ask how the gently caress you would prosecute it. Just write a law banning a thing, peak new labour brain.
