maybe its the autism but i fundamentally don't understand the double standard of "we're allowed to bomb them, but god forbid they try and bomb us"

@QueenOfTheDSB @nitzukai you can run multiple displays off usb-c, which supports video through displayport alt mode - up to a single screen of 10-bit 16K@60Hz, or 3x 4k displays @ 90Hz.

@nitzukai Probably making it round so that it could rotate, and make it even faster as always, so that you maybe could use a USB-D to 4 HDMI or Display Port... Or maybe we'll just end up with USB-C for display in any plug and so I don't have to figure out which one is for display

is USB-C the final evolution of ports or is there any possible design that could replace it in the future before we go fully wireless

@suevictorian saw a cop try and argue once that it was 'antisocial behaviour' (under s50) for an antifascist to hold a flag in the way of a fash streamer. so, yeah.

If I get a camera and stick it in their faces while threatening, I won't be arrested? If I get a racist gang to surround people and follow them, it's legal? If I kick, punch, then scream at children, same? Right? Right?

@JosephKBennett Seems to be under s13 of the public order act 1986 - s12 is commonly used and allows police to place conditions on marches. s13 is rarely used and allows for police to ban marches where there is a risk of serious public disorder which cannot be mitigated by conditions under s12.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s the IRG they keep THINKING of proscribing but haven’t, and the government of Iran isn’t proscribed. So what whackadoodle rule is this being done under?

they killed him for this. RIP Charlie, the establishment couldn't handle your truth.

fork found in extremely racist, violent, misogynist kitchen.

@dwdwdan0 @DiegoThrowaway @dimenpsyonal they don't recognise the sovereignty of parliament, so no they wouldn't.

@DiegoThrowaway @dimenpsyonal I mean if parliament decided to vote on whether to give NI independence they’d surely go for that one

I like that the parliament uk website lists all the sinn fein MPs as "no vote recorded" the same way all other absent MPs are recorded, as though they'll eventually turn up

if you don't want the far right marching in bristol, join up with your mates n do something about it.

i wonder what andrew thinks of the vegan all day breakfast? or is he a three-bean chili kinda man

No heads in the sand. Masked up Nazis attacked a gig in Bristol .don't think it can't happen to you.

3.30pm today 20+ masked fascists drove to East Bristol in a van and a couple of cars and attempted to force their way into The Red Lion while a benefit gig was starting up. They attacked people outside before more locals/antis and cops arrived, then they drove off. 1/2

@LeRef5 @richardparke15 @GarethM79 @paulpowlesland @CityPolice When cycling any faster than an absolute crawl, you're steering more with your bodyweight than the handlebars. Notice that unicyclists can happily pootle around, despite having no handlebars and only one wheel.

Being in full control means the same as it does in a car. Both hands on the wheel / handlebars. You can effect steering inputs, sure (just like I can with one hand or even my knees in car), but you're not in full control. Anyone who has followed a no-hand cyclist has watched them drifting and wobbling - because they're not in control. A gust of wind, a pothole, ice, a pedestrian stepping out. You have a quarter of second reaction and a second to get your hands back where they belong. Your disdain for the rules and insistence that you can just do what the fuck you like and everyone else will keep you safe are, sadly, typically predictable.

Its official: I’m appearing in City of London Magistrates tomorrow for the heinous ‘offence’ of cycling no-handed. I guess in some ways it must be good news, as it means @CityPolice must have solved all the robberies, burglaries, fraud, assault, bike theft, dangerous driving and other serious offences. If not, I’m not sure how they could justify spending lots of taxpayers money, days of officer time, and a day of time in our horrendously backlogged courts, prosecuting something which does not appear illegal, which thousands of cyclists do without issue every day and which has not caused harm to anyone else or myself. Wish me luck! I’ll report back.

@tomscrace @danbarker @njbirse @FennellJW No, you're the one arguing that - you don't seem to understand that the scandi minimalist benches could be in good taste.

@danbarker @njbirse @FennellJW What are *you* arguing?! That good culture can’t be created in recent decades?

This is verging on criminal negligence and abuse of office. It's also desperately sad. We urgently need to replace vast numbers of people currently in control of our national institutions. Here is what some of the old ones looked like: artlyst.com/national-galle…

@peteratarenig @Jonathan_K_Cook That's burglary, not aggravated burglary. and that's unlawful damage - their defences for crim dam would apply here too.

@Jonathan_K_Cook I should perhaps add that burglary includes entering as a trespasser with the intention of committing damage. My view is that subsequent events reveal that intention. And with them they had a sledgehammer, which was in fact used as a weapon of offence. If it walks like a duck…

The aggravated burglary charge required proving that the six Palestine Action defendants harboured an intention, as they broke into the Elbit weapons factory, to use the sledgehammers they had brought with them not only to destroy the killer-drones made there but also to hurt the security guards. The prosecution was unable to provide such evidence because it did not exist. The jury, therefore, had no choice but to acquit. In fact, it was incredible overreach to imagine that such a charge would ever stick. It was brought for one reason only: because it was critical to building the government’s case that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation. In other words, it was an entirely politicised charge. The jury saw right through the legal chicanery. The government’s fallback position was the violent disorder charge, which still suggested violent intent from the activists. The problem once again, however, was that the charge clearly did not fit the events the jury watched for themselves from the much longer video footage. Violent disorder is a charge usually associated with football hooligans or groups of people who start pub brawls. It is meant to prosecute those who conspire to cause random acts of violence that innocent bystanders believe threaten their safety. However, the longer video footage – or rather the bits that Elbit Systems had not withheld or destroyed – showed that it was actually the security guards who initiated much of the violence. In violent disorder, there is a defence: of self-defence. In three of the cases, the jury was sure that the defendants had been protecting themselves or their fellow activists from violence being directed at them from the security guards. That is why they acquitted. The video evidence, incomplete as it was, was presumably more ambiguous in the case of the other three, which is why the jury could not reach agreement. On the least significant charge, criminal damage, the judge had made clear he expected a conviction – and he tried to rig the trial to get that conviction by stripping the defendants of the only defence that was available, of “lawful excuse”. The defendants’ argument was that, yes, they had caused criminal damage but it was justified in stopping a far graver crime, that of genocide. Despite the huge pressure on them to submit to the judge’s demand, enough of the jury clearly thought that, in this case, criminal damage – in the form of smashing up killer drones – was a reasonable action. It is quite extraordinary that the hill politicians like Suella Braverman and Chris Philp, and sections of the British public, want to die on is defending Israel’s right to make killer-drones on British soil. Thank God, we had people with a moral core, not these ghouls, on the jury. On the single charge of grievous bodily harm against Samuel Corner, the jury could again not reach a decision. He is still on remand, with the danger he will be retried on this charge and possibly others. It is, therefore, difficult to say much beyond the fact that, given the clamour to convict him from politicians, the media and Israel worshippers, there must have been pretty clear extenuating circumstances that led some of the jurors to believe a conviction would be unreasonable. Unlike much of the public, who have been inflamed by the official story that a “police woman’s back was broken”, the jury heard the actual medical diagnosis. In his closing speech, Corner’s defence barrister set out the facts: "The doctors looking at the first X-rays didn’t identify any bone damage, nor in an MRI later. The injury didn’t require surgery and Sergeant Evans was advised to take painkillers and do physiotherapy. The agreed facts state from medical evidence that you’d expect such a fracture to heal in six to twelve weeks, with full healing in three to six months, and no long-term consequences." Keir Starmer’s government – a government actively complicit in Israel’s genocide – has every incentive to keep the Palestine Action trials going. It much prefers a public conversation about whether opponents of genocide are violent criminals and terrorists than one about whether British government ministers should be in the dock at the Hague for complicity in crimes against humanity. This is an extract from my latest article The jury were right to acquit the Palestine Action defendants. Here's why. Find a link to the rest in the reply post ⬇️

@hattipireland @PhilipProudfoot alright, think it's time you lay off the gin a bit x

@GoGoGoings @PhilipProudfoot In your mind, a posh middle class man battering a working class woman with a sledgehammer is the right thing to do once you agree with his politics. Is any act of violence against any innocent party OK once the attacker is left wing enough for you?

Please don't destroy my military weapons production line! I only just bought that from Ikea last week!

@hattipireland @PhilipProudfoot if you don't like the thought of unjustified and overwhelming violence being used against a civilian, you'll hate it when i tell you about a place called palestine

@PhilipProudfoot You're justifying (and lots of people hailing as a hero) a man who twice smashed a sledgehammer into a woman while she was on the ground. ever think maybe you need to take your head out of your ideology for a minute and take a breath.

@Arbeitologist @BassistDas not even with the shame to hide it with a jumper!! at least it tells all the kids precisely how she feels about them

@BassistDas theguardian.com/politics/2008/…

I actually think its fine for riot police to batter the shit out of school children!

@BigSpencer81 @GhassanAbuSitt1 cope & seethe.

@GhassanAbuSitt1 That vile twat who hit the police officer with a hammer should have been convicted. How with video evidence he wasn't, just shows how scum like PA need to be removed from our streets and obviously jury's.

The government uses remand to imprison those it knows it can't convict.
