But of course: They're politicians.

In a country with a decent justice system, rocking up to court to claim that the many, many pictures of Hunter Biden breaking the law in many and varied ways would be a case that you couldn't possibly win.

In the US, a country busy turning itself into the richest banana republic in history, I genuinely don't know what way this will go...

I think it's at least partly to drive home the foolishness of the DNC's previous stance on committees by making them suffer the same treatment.

Also a point to note: "That's not a bad idea" is essentially how British English expresses "that's a good idea".

I'd stay "stop colonising the language" but the only people this bunch want to annoy more than Americans is Brits...

I suspect they're after conformity rather than performance. That's what the green agenda is about mostly, anyway...

Again, that's reflective of how this managerial coup tends to work.

The face of the organisation is the very last thing to get replaced. By the time the face is showing cracks the entire rest of the organisation has been lost to corruption already.

... so what's with the dragonkin hate, you bigot?

The worst thing about this is that the British government has learned that this works

I suspect the younger Joe Biden would be easier for deepfake software to work from...

Agreed. Unless there's legal documents stating that the funds are contingent upon the name, all you've got is a moral case.

I cannot picture university staff being concerned with any kind of moral case, given the environment they have created to work in.

Because it's not actually about the age. It's about saying whatever is needed to avoid any kind of accountability. For any woman.

Methinks Giz was between meals when he made these comments ;)

The single, solitary advantage of this is that by having a shop on the ground floor you don't get people gawping into the windows of ground-floor residential properties, because there aren't any.

Most people would solve this with a revolutionary product: curtains.

This is the first non-Horizons one in a few years, isn't it?

These days "far right" is anything that isn't tearing down the fabric of the country in preparation for the revolution...

So Twitter commits to having content moderation as bad as YouTube's? Was that the point of Musk's $44 billion expenditure, then?

Yup. Fundamentally, he was talking about unilaterally having Hillsborough County secede from the state of Florida.

Also a point to note: Britain at the height of her Empire could barely afford it. It took us one hundred and eighty years to pay off that one.

The US, at the time a far smaller nation, simply could not afford such an extravagance.

As I recall they were very careful about the data set it worked from. 4chan need not apply, as far as they're concerned.

Most of the time the point is to make it just difficult enough that you hit some other guy's store in preference.

Deterring someone who's determined to steal from your site and has the advantages of knowing what they're going to to, when they're going to do it, is a difficult and expensive process.

Re media coverage choices - the golden rule always applies: follow the money...

$30 million in 30 days

Easy. Have an omelette.

Not until there is a cost (financial, social, something else) to feminists for doing so. At the moment, the only consequence of a loss is that they try again. What motivation do they have to stop?

Seemingly to make the point that anything that doesn't bow down to these people will be destroyed by them.

I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that the point is to hammer home that they're Big People and are allowed to do this to Little People - us.

It kinda fits in with the power politics thing they seem to go in for too. Getting your capricious whims imposed upon unwilling people is the definition of arbitrary power, is it not?
