@ProsinPlanet @cerogasoline “He only got rid of 90% of the problem? That means he’s 100% Hitler.”

@GeordanWithaG @cerogasoline ah only 10% child labour, that’s ok then

@ProsinPlanet "We're already in Omelas, it would be silly to leave"

@The_Real_Bill_ um that sounds like trafficking

@ProsinPlanet His company works only with cocoa collectives that use child labor monitoring systems which identify children at risk, remove them from the farms, and transition them into schools.

@ProsinPlanet You are literally full on lying right now. You're such a piece of shit. You havent done anything for anyone but yourself your entire life. You are a narcissistic bitter little person.

@william06073336 @MattCas04807118 never seen it, sounds pretentious

the logical next step for nolan as a filmmaker is to put the epic of darmok and jalad on the big screen

@TwistInATweet @indianloonie i bet he missed at least one

@indianloonie My grandfather never missed a sunrise. Even at 90 years old. I finally asked him why. . . . "Because one day, I will."

Saw an R/ask reddit thread "What's the worst deathbed confession you've ever heard? " and it made me think about the mind of someone who hears a truly shocking deathbed confession from a loved one and decides to send it on reddit. Which is seemingly a lot of people

what is the charge? a succulent mild tease? this is democracy manifest

@ZeroSuitCamus haven’t felt this way since twin peaks the return

Wagner’s Ring Cycle is so good it’s actually funny. 15 hours of being like “please miss just once”

@ComAcFreedom i can almost guarantee the student in question isn’t getting his degree because he hasn’t done well on his course, not because of some perceived political persecution. but now he’s found himself a hobby horse to ride, and is happy to have the attention of whinging online types

🚨 BREAKING: The Committee for Academic Freedom (CAF) is supporting a working-class student who left school at 13 and spent years saving and studying after work to get into university, but who may now be forced to abandon his PhD after being frozen out on an art programme. His “crime”? Introducing the conservative philosopher Roger Scruton into a seminar on aesthetics. Matthew Keehan, who studies at Solent University, says disagreements over the dominance of critical race theory and other “progressive” philosophies on his course escalated into ostracism by his peers, disciplinary threats and a politically charged viva. Trouble began when, ahead of an in-person seminar on art and aesthetics, he circulated Roger Scruton’s Fools, Frauds and Firebrands to the group. Matthew argued that academia had for too long excluded important conservative voices, and said he wanted students to hear a wider “cacophony” of perspectives. When no one replied, he followed up with a link to Scruton’s lecture “Art Today”, which critiques the way postmodern approaches have, in Scruton’s view, hollowed out artistic standards. Again, no one responded. During the seminar, Matthew asked whether anyone had read the material, and was told by the lecturer — who also happened to be his supervisor — that “we felt it was inappropriate”. Months later, a fellow postgraduate reached out and told him that members of the group had effectively been advised not to contact him because of the “C word” — “Conservative” — following his circulation of the Scruton material. It was in this culture that concerns later arose over Matthew’s PhD viva. During that viva, Matthew — an Irishman who grew up on a deprived council estate — was criticised as a “Western, white, male researcher” whose work had failed to reflect on the “privileges associated with race and cultural dominance” supposedly attaching to his identity. CAF has been supporting Matthew in making a formal complaint to the university about the culture of his department and his treatment after raising concerns about the intellectual direction of the course. We are also helping him prepare a complaint to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator and a formal notification to the Office for Students.

@samuel_leeds i’d keep my head down if i were you

Gary Economics ignored my request for an unedited, raw, live-streamed debate on our channels. Wealth creation vs. wealth redistribution. I’m still game if he is? Let’s see whose ideas actually hold up in the real world.

7.3k idiots liking this crap from a 'property investor'. Desk-trader Stevenson doesn't understand macroeconomics, neither does tax lawyer Neidle nor this lad. It's like listening to an argument in a kindergarten, but these clowns represent the zeitgeist. Sometimes I despair.
