As I’ve said for years: when the right - and particularly the crackpot racist far right - talk about freedom and free speech, they are talking about *their personal, unlimited freedom*. Their freedom permits, and often actively requires, policemen thrashing you in the head with batons.

The advice on which former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper based her proscription of Palestine Action has never been published.
My assumption is that it outlined the organisation's behaviour and its implications for national security. That's all well and good.
But it turns out that proscribing Palestine Action (PA) has had follow-on benefits which make Cooper's decision seem even more laudable.
We've all seen the protests, when PA supporters who couldn't place Palestine on a map sit motionless on the ground with their PA placards.
They call it civil disobedience, but which of us hasn't thought what a simple, peaceful way it would be to clear these awful people not just off the streets but out of society itself.

Today Rockstar bosses are taking the stand in the employment tribunal to answer allegations of union-busting. Outside, fired GTA worker Bran shared a message for the people who, last October, fired her and 30 of her colleagues without warning, due process or right of appeal.

The whole Sally Rooney debacle really is a good example of how the British state really only exists to gaslight people. It's willing to do the most insane things in the most tedious ways to punish anyone who points out what is actually going on or who asks a follow up question

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Terrorism law is a special body of law which should be taken seriously. The UK government’s proscription of Palestine Action discredits terrorism law.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

It’s good - ideal, even! - for your CFO to pull you aside and tell you repeatedly about the dire financial consequences of the potential failure of your $200 billion AI capex gamble that you recently admitted you made without knowing why you were doing it. You don’t learn this in business school!

Not only no culture, but no *commons*. The dependency on the capitalist overlords will be complete, because you can’t ask for help or context from others when there is no common frame of reference. This has already happened in coding, the first space where they destroyed the commons we’d all built.

It’s clear as day- our society has left totally unquestioned the idea of putting pedestrians at a disadvantage just to have a car in close reach. This culture has played a part in normalising the dominance of motor vehicles in our neighbourhoods, and prevented sustainable transport expansion.
