A lot of this is because Google is absolutely NOT a source of traffic for publishers now. It hoovers all their content up and recycles it out as AI summaries. Then people don't click through.
It's another dimension of Big Web eating itself.

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

Jesus fucking Christ these people are thick as shit, even by House of Lords standards.
There is a Lords amendment that requires all phones to have unremovable spyware pre-installed, supposedly to combat CSAM. It is unsurprising that one of its sponsors is the weirdo Hilary Cass.

Rich douchebags have the worst taste in cars ISTG. Give me a Renault Avantime, a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, a Volvo 850R in touring car livery, a Daihatsu YRV Turbo. Make it dumb!
man if you're gonna go to federal prison for embezzlement and wire fraud you better buy cooler cars than five rolls-royces and a ferrari. absolutely not worth it. I'm not doing time for anything less than, like, a 2000GT and an Autech R33 four-door
As a car blogger, I know I'm supposed to be focused on the cars here, but $638,000 for TWO MATTRESSES???

at the same time: Black Sheep is in the top ten sellers by cask ale and has the administrators in pulling it apart
the biggest threat to cask ale isn't a lack of demand, it's fear from publicans who don't understand how to handle it and big beer companies killing brands (many built on real ale!)

Sales of cask Bass have grown nearly 20% this year, and its now sold in over 1000 outlets as opposed to 400 12 months ago. Landlord is #1 by value. Boddington's was relaunched. Other breweries I speak to are in cask growth: Theakston, Thornbridge, Abbeydale, Siren, Five points...

One of the things about "the font is woke" is that they clearly have run out DEI copper wiring to rip out of the walls so they're just searching for literally anything to claim as a victory
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri

People saying that Rubio wanting to change away from the default font is more work, are forgetting he's senior management.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM
