Apparently we are talking about speed cameras again so let me remind everyone that every reduction in the frequency of police encounters is a reduction in police brutality.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

It shouldn't need pointing out that the Canadians who will be affected by spending cuts won't be in a position to invest. This only works out for the wealthy.

It's becoming clear that the dystopian threat of AI is not Skynet, it's the world's worst people at all levels of society being given the tools to make our world worse and worse with almost no effort. Not annihilation but endless scams, harassment, lies, aesthetic degradation - that's what we face.

It's like how every single UBI study says it only has benefits and even saves governments money, and then governments simply don't want to do it.

Worth noting that this is also what the UK government review found, it just ignored all the evidence in its conclusions.

I just saw someone on here refer to the “thrown speech,” and now I’m imagining King Charles hurling chalk and erasers like an exasperated teacher.

Do you still follow someone because you’re angry at them and want to track the things they do? I invite you to start your summer by unfollowing them so you don’t devote energy to something that makes you sad

Thank you to CBC for explaining to viewers that the King doesn't write this speech, it's a government document. In case this sounds like sarcasm, I'm being genuine. People need to know this, and far too many don't.

This story has flown under the radar—because panic and bloodshed sell. But murders are plummeting across the U.S. We could see the lowest murder rate ever recorded this year. I wrote about it: reason.com/2025/05/27/c...

Still thinking about this. As a copyright nerd, it’s very interesting to me that the question of whether a derivative work takes market share from the original has been tirelessly promoted by exactly these assholes as superior to the question of whether it transforms the original. For decades!

I have seen a couple of arguments that he's specifically saying "in the UK" (ie we would be left behind because other countries will not respect the rights of people who make things) and sure, he is. To which I say: so what

A reminder that we’ve got growing evidence (thanks Covid) that BOTH forms of diabetes are auto-immune, post-viral syndromes. Infections caused the spike in cases we started seeing in 2020, not a few weeks of staying home. We’ve had a big body of case reports of infection -> diabetes for 30 years.

British people are not any more transphobic than anyone else, "TERF Island" is just a statistical error. Transphobia Jo who lives in a cave and does 10,000 transphobias a day is an outlier and should not have been counted
