I watched Reality yesterday which was the literal transcript of Reality Winner(!)'s fbi interview, so it can be done, sorta

_{It was actually pretty good, picked it up while trying to parse if it was about survivor or something}

e: I'm a few mins in, and lost it when a character said "We believe in truth over facts"... The acting is as you would expect

e2: 5 mins in and he's doing his first line of 'stunt' cocaine

That was a p. Good film, and I liked the stylistic choice of just using the transcript

The cardboard box is called delivering on the promise to build more hospitals.

I feel like a "rhetorical flourish" is more something you'd see in some poncy debating society as opposed to getting gakked up and calling random people paedos on Twitter.

But that's just me.

Fox has definitely not won reality though.

I still need to watch this in a way that gives zero money to anyone involved, because it looks hilariously bad.

I haven't watched it either, but I might for a laugh

e: I'm a few mins in, and lost it when a character said "We believe in truth over facts"... The acting is as you would expect

e2: 5 mins in and he's doing his first line of 'stunt' cocaine



e3: He does another line of 'stunt' cocaine at 10 mins, then get the crack pipe out 40 seconds later to take some 'stunt' crack



e4: I can't watch any more of this. I lasted about 12 minutes.

JFC Nick Clegg may have been a long term sleeper agent after all. He has just hosed Zuckerberg by virtue of having written and then probably leaked a bunch of emails to Zuck saying “you need to do more to protect kids on FB”. This is coming out in a senate hearing.

I expect he won’t keep his job after this.

“Mr Zuckerberg do you believe you have a constitutional right to lie to congress?”

E: the alternate explanation which is also amusing is that Clegg is so atrociously bad at his job that when hired at an exorbitant rate to make FB look good he made them look bad.

This may be a stupid straw that's broken the camel's back, but the banker bonus poo poo is what's set me over the edge of not being to vote for Labour. This whole time I've kind of kept quiet on it (partly because I mainly lurk) because I was struggling to square the idea of potentially allowing the Tories - who I genuinely think are evil - back into the power. But loving hell this is such an obvious easy win. There is absolutely no downside. Oh sure some bankers will grumble but what the gently caress are they actually going to do? It's a wildly popular position that the public support. If you can't do the bare minimum that might vaguely suggest you are somewhat still a left wing party (I know that's a very naive idea) then why the gently caress should I even kid myself anymore.

I think internalizing a sense of guilt because the people in charge have arranged it such that you have no good choice, but you feel responsible for not dutifully ticking the "less bad" box, is a pretty objectionable thing to have done to you tbh. It ignores the psychopath putting you in that position to begin with. That is where the guilt lies but of course they won't even entertain the possibility of being responsible for that and there is no mechanism to punish them for it, so it's really set up to kind of gaslight you into believing you're the one at fault for your essentially consumer decision re: which party you subscribe to, and not the people arranging the world so that that's the only decision you have.

The actual trolley problem is a very good takedown of consequentialist ethics and has nothing to do with how people use it most of the time. Yes, I have a grudge.

This is just a long way of saying that the solution to the pop-philosophy trolley problem is to find out who the fucker is that keeps tying people to the tracks.

E: this sounds like I'm having a go at you personally and I don't intend it seriously, it's just after the last page or two talking about the Pet Shop Boy making trans-exclusion 'a priority' and the absolute lack of consequences for Rosie Duffield's continued political existence, it's just strange to hear what is and isn't a deal breaker for people.
