It annoys me that many politicians etc (in Sweden) still use the Nazi X platform. No way I'm accessing X.

Yes, I think a sudden loss of visa/mastercard services would be catastrophic (until we get the alternative set up) but the sudden loss of twitter could even be beneficial for the UK. It is noticeable, for example, how many British politicians posture as if we were Americans with American problems rather than a different place with different problems, having to switch to a homegrown alternative could help squash this a bit at least.

We keep on talking about this but the presentation of London as some sort of lawless hellhole is particularly annoying and inaccurate. It is repeated by some British politicians who must know that it is basically bollocks, a completely fake reality dreamed up to buttress racist fantasies.

Cringe AF, but if you just look at what they actually say here they show real awareness that the GOP needs to be stopped.

What's odd too is that curling is partly self officiated in a gentlemanly way.  Or was?

Interesting to see where this story goes:
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5740369-pentagon-anthropic-relationship-review/

The company wants to make sure that its tools are not used to develop weaponry that fires without human input and that its products are not used for mass surveillance on Americans.

Defense Department officials have argued that those terms would confine the U.S. military and make it more difficult to work under such conditions, the outlet noted.

Greeks wore dresses and were gay for each other. Keep traditions alive Marco!
