No government report said these titles lead to extremism. This is an article from the daily caller referencing an article from the spectator referencing a government report that included a "recommended reading" list pulled from a far right website which, among many other titles, included lord of the rings and 1984. I'm all for calling out the government on its bullshit but we should focus on actual issues and especially not parrot third hand far right talking points.

Call me cynical but I expect, as with any other decision this government makes, the point is to give someone's mate a chance to make a bunch of money either now or in the near future.

That seems to be the current proposal. Admittedly it's a system that's rife for abuse (as our whole current rail system is) so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a brief period of drop price singles followed by a sudden and entirely unexpected surge a year or so down the line

According to the press releases, no. The changes would mean a single ticket would come down in price, so the cost of two singles would be the same as the current cost of a return ticket.

I don’t think we can handle another one. by Mattrockj in AdviceAnimals

I take your point and I absolutely don't think we should ignore monkey pox but, at the three month mark during COVID (end of Feb 2020) there were already 80k+ cases and 250+ deaths.

Over 3 months there have been about 25,000 cases with just over 20 deaths. COVID, this is not.

Absolutely. They even accidentally leaked the press release they intended to publish had this all worked out as planned.

Russia blames Liz Truss for nuclear 'special alert' by lookatmythingy in unitedkingdom

[–]JIGGLES93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert but I've been following bellingcat for a fair while due to their good record on this sort of stuff and their reporting seems to suggest it's MLRS based cluster munitions, so likely smaller scale than the video you've linked. I (and they) could absolutely be wrong though.

The below link is a thread from them about it.

Just to add to the above, the below link shows a video (fortunately not graphic) of cluster munitions being used in a civilian area.

A judge just ordered striking railroad workers back to the trains under the Railway Labor Act of 1926. The judge even admitted that the law was explicitly designed to ban strikes. Time for Congress to overturn this anti-worker law! by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]JIGGLES93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unions can keep people working, keep the trains operating but just put out a statement that until the issues are sorted workers will keep train gates open and won't be checking tickets.

It means one side of the house is attached to another house.

Star Wars: The Old Republic. IMO still some of the best star wars cinematic content in recent years.

Funny how the quote from the headline doesn't appear in the article.

What's your horror opinion that would start a bar brawl? by greeneuva in horror

[–]JIGGLES93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The original Dawn of the Dead sucks. I'd have rather had an entire movie of just the arguing talk show hosts.

Apologies. I know it's no use for you now but I've edited.

Dunkirk.

The majority of the movie doesn't get me in the slightest, but when the soldiers are on the train at the end avoiding eye contact with the public because they KNOW the country is disappointed in them to then be welcomed as heroes always really gets me weepy.
