It's true, extremists that the UK state allows to train abroad will never return to the UK and commit atrocities here.

Went to look up the picture of this:

apparently it's from an earlier tour in 2013 and isn't being used now. Just seems to be part of a general collage of 20th-century conspiratorial imagery.

People assure me that Seinfeld gets much better after the first 2 seasons but it'd have to, because Jerry Seinfeld doing stand-up at the beginning of episodes is the dirt worst. Observational comedy that makes Peter Kay bellowing about garlic bread seem like high art.

I've also noticed that Twitter has become flooded with really lovely, low quality adverts. Musk scrambling for revenue from whatever sources he can find, I guess.

It keeps recommending me a mail-order telescoping baton which I'm pretty sure is illegal to even own in the UK.

But really, the idea of keeping the Tories in to get Labour to move leftwards, means you do get more pure-strain rabid Ymgarl Tories.

Keeping the tories in to drive Labour rightwards is what has happened though. When have the Tories ever been kept in by a leftist third option?

No. The owner is a Nazi and is constantly replying to other fascist morons and doing everything he can to make them happy, and his posts get boosted to as many people as possible. And the replies on anything with a reasonable amount of reach are clogged with the kind of people who are dumb or desperate enough to pay 8 bucks a month for the privilege, which also mostly means people with Concerns about the Jewish Question. His latest wheeze is directly paying tens of thousands of dollars to Nazis to bribe them to stay. It's a fash website and anyone still clinging on to it is either fash or in denial about their crippling addiction.

Do any of you remember what TV channel Batman.The Animated Series aired on in this country back in the '90s? Because I was trying to work out earlier today why I never watched it as a kid and so I'm just assuming it was on Sky One or some other satellite channel. Cartoon Network maybe?

This blog post suggests ITV but only up until 1995.

Mourning Due posted:

The whole ULEZ thing gives me a sad little LOL, as I've seen it in our local Bromley Facebook group first hand.

An admin asked, what's everyone's biggest concerns for the area, with a sidenote to not mention ULEZ as it's unproductive. I made the mistake of casually saying in my comment something to the effect of, most cars that get done for ULEZ likely won't pass their next MOT anyway, so who actually cares about it?

The amount of teeth gnashing and wailing I got in response, good grief. There were like 50 responses, most of them using my current least favourite word (tyranny), most of them calling Sadiq Khan a Nazi who wants to turn London Sharia, most of them saying it was a breach of their human rights, etc.

loving brainwashed pricks. To be fair, my car passes it so I don't give a poo poo, but if you're driving an old beater around anyway it should come off the road. The ULEZ doesn't go nearly far enough, but these fiends understand that the Overton Window is real and they push back on it with all their energy.

Utterly unhinged and deranged.

Thing is, there's only fifty of the fuckers total but they all have facebook accounts and poster printers. It's one of those things where once it comes in the controversy will go away entirely, so naturally labour want to have public agonies over it for the next year or so.

Yeah but... why now in the particular, why not with any number of previous walkability and pedestrianization initiatives - it's not like the conspiratorial grift is new

It's a direct continuation of covid lockdown conspiracy theories about "controlling your movement". In the UK those people went to LTNs (and local to London, ULEZ expansion) and in the US they went to 15 minute cities, and because this is all done through intermingled Facebook groups we have people taking the bus in south london with their "15 minute cities" poster and somewhere in south carolina there's a guy outside city hall talking very loudly about londonistan.

Fun one on the local facebook group the other day actually, a grainy candid of a teen pissing on a 'memorial' tree (to an event, not a person). Half the replies frothing about the feral youth of today, the other half saying maybe banning all unaccompanied teens from the shopping centre (including toilets) might have been a bad idea.

ronya posted:

That answers "why now" but not "why that one"... there's a gazillion movement-related and public-health-surveillance-related and biosecurity-related local govt strategies and initiatives all the time

Luck of the draw, maybe

This NYT piece suggests that an anti-LTN protest in Oxford was put onto the idea by Oxford council's 2021 report on the concept and it spread from there.
