I'm back on QAA this week, talking about the YouTubers who travel to London to tell their audience that western civilization is collapsing, and that England's supposedly lawless, multi-ethnic capital city is at the heart of it. The episode is called London Has Fallen.

The people who came to Brianna's vigil were the many friends, as an isolated trans girl, she had made on social media. The people who were convicted of her murder knew her in real life, and used transphobic slurs to discuss her.

I simply don't believe embarrassment is a thing FIFA can experience.
Shame as a concept is entirely absent in these kinds of orgs, but dealing with Trump means you do everything in your belly. If anything it presupposes a humiliation fetish.

So, is the Minister a liar, or merely incompetent?
If he knew, then he lied. If he didn't know, then his special advisor and press secretary approved this without his knowledge (which also raises the question as to their competence!)

Also I'd be very curious what legal liability any data centers containing this sort of material could face.
EXACTLY! A tech company based in Ireland has introduced A FEATURE that allows for the generation of image-based sexual violence. The generation and distribution of image-based sexual violence and child sexual abuse materials ARE illegal under Irish and EU law. Companies are legally accountable.
"It's not necessarily the app that's making the images... it's people using the app that's making the images. Making images of that sort is reprehensible..."
No, people are asking the app to make the images.
IT'S A FEATURE. Not a bug.

Absolutely nauseated by this stance from Minister O'Donovan, this isn't just incompetence this is actively excusing the production of child pornography to avoid confrontation with X/Twitter.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Genuinely disgusting news this morning, and knowing that no western leaders are likely to speak against it is so bleak. Never mind Maduro, his wife is charged with what? And how many people have been killed in Venezuela?

Kidnapping a head of state and his wife goes well beyond 'lacking legitimacy', it's clearly an illegal and inflammatory action, along with the acts of piracy and terrorism conducted by the Trump regime in the area. Another spineless abduction from the EU.
