So there is a whole lucrative industry devoted to figuring out the often menial lies of people who may anyway not get hired for totally different reasons, with at best the flimsy justification that there may be a correlation with cutting corners in the future. Stupid surveillance=still evil!

It's truly disgusting how Ferat Kocak of Die Linke is being put under a microscope by right wing media for being a normal letfy activist and pro-Palestine, while the AfD secured 20% of the vote with soon to be MPs who probably build models of concentration camps in their free time.

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020. OFGEM's marginal pricing rules guarantee profits to the most inefficient/costly producer. 1 in 5 of all deaths are people in fuel poverty – including 110,000 pensioners. No curbs on profiteering. Real wages cut. WFP cut. Cost of living soaring.

Much of EU regulatory contract law is about "transparency" and enhancing comprehensibility, in the hope that competent consumers will discipline the market by ditching providers offering bad terms. Maybe, maybe, clear contracts could help ex post - when incentives to read stronger.

When Stanford IT staff and a pro-diversity group shared a list of words they encouraged others not to use, it was national news, despite the fact it never represented campus policy. When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

This is a truly crazy story - irrespective of whatever the specifics of the individual case, the reasoning beggars belief: using "class conflict" and "profit maximisation" is considered as inherently anti-democratic because anti-capitalist. This while the CDU works to normalise neo-nazis. Cheers!

“Woke is een ideale vijand omdat het alles kan zijn wat de anti-woke-beweging wil dat het is. In Hongarije weert Orbán journalisten op zijn conferentie omdat het een ‘woke-vrije zone’ is, in de VS draait Trump ‘woke’ diversiteitsbeleid terug, in Rusland zijn alle homorechten ‘woke’.”

Dutch public broadcast "explains" Trump's approach to Gaza as "businesslike", a matter of real estate development and job opportunities. The new normal sounds terrifyingly like the old, colonial-genocidal normal.
