.. CCTV. The parcel was a 24 hour signed for delivery and was due yesterday. I would like my parcel please.

[Usmaan @UsmaanTweets]

. @RoyalMail I had a parcel out for delivery yesterday, it did not arrive. This morning one of your postmen "attempted delivery" but in fact lied about it, he arrived at the door with a "we missed you card" and no parcel in his hand, did not ring the bell and left. I have it on..

@AmzBoogie Sighting the moon before conjunction is impossible. You cannot see what has not happened yet. This is deterministic

The "impossible" Saudi sightings are probabilistic. They detect a cresent in the IR spectrum. The merits of this can be debated but they are seeing something.

1. This 2016 exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel is so essential, really gets to the heart of Epstein's project.
Epstein: brexit, just the beginning.
Thiel: Of what?
Epstein: return to tribalism, counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as i said in your office. finding things on their way to collapse , was much easier than finding the next bargain

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.

The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

Once again, they use “what about the children”, this time to install state spyware that would continuously scan every action on a phone or tablet and watch everything that is shown on the screen. This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices.

The bill also seeks “Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” and wants “all regulated user-to-user services to use highly-effective age assurance measures to prevent children under the age of 16 from becoming or being users.” In practice, this means identity checks for VPN users, making things like anonymous whistleblowing difficult.

The attack on secure and private communication is worldwide. Now is the time for resistance. Demand transparency from your politicians, and privacy for the people.

@AriReddy The Wretched of the Earth was not about people living a "normal social life" it was about colonised people who undoubtedly were subjected to violence and oppression. The author of the thread pulls the same verbal trick he accuses Satre of by saying the book is violence. Sophistry

A spectacular example of Orwellian doublespeak from the UK Home Secretary:

"Just because you have a freedom doesn’t mean you have to use it at every moment of every day."

In fact the ability do something whenever you want is practically the definition of a freedom.

Always a good reminder that the people making these products are not using them. Zuck is spending his time doing MMA training, running a business, reading, buying Hawaiian real estate and talking to people.

This is meant for you. Not him.

He sells you plastic and rubber so he can buy wood and stone

Sadiq Khan calling out Zack's use of "social media" instead of calling out the genocide in Mayor's Question Time really is the perfect analogy for why Labour are quite so astoundingly unpopular.

@Monz_ah You are mostly correct here but handwaving away the explanation of how working for the NHS and being paid by a government that's sells bonds isn't the same as working in finance as a bunch of "excuses" shows a misunderstanding and disregard of fiqh

Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague

Israel never bombed the presidential palace in Damascus while their favourite stooge lived there. It did so today

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

Nothing happens because at a fundamental level we no longer live in democracies and therefore there is no scrutiny, or responsiveness from political and social structures to events. People are puzzled because they thought they lived in democracies and suddenly realise they don’t

@ProfDBernstein @matthewstoller Israeli law defines Israel as a Jewish state.
