- Reposted by Marc PalmerReally enjoyed this interview and it's refreshing that the journalist says she doesn't agree with all of my politics but still engages with the ideas. You don't have to agree with me on everything. Just the basics: it's time to make hope normal again. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

- So a story about boner enlargement injections being used to improve performance of ski-jumpers is one thing. That they routinely scan the bodies of ski-jumpers is something else frankly. What a time to be alive.

- How does Meta track what we are talking about to show us ads? This IS happening. Today I went to a shop and saw powdered oat milk by Overherd for first time. Never known about this. Came home and talked to my wife about it in person. Now I have Overherd ads in my IG timeline (Evidence 🧵🧵👇)
- Now my wife tells me this all the time and being a developer I hear it and think "this must be something else because Apple don't allow background mic access." I am doubting this now. Here's why: - Both of us only have iPhone/Apple devices. Zero Android - Mic access is OFF for IG on both …
- - Mic access was ON for WhatsApp on at least one device and it would likely be running in bg still. - But NO MICROPHONE "LED" in the status bar on either device - No assistant devices except HomePods. - No connected TV - Synology Routers - Philips Hue hub/bulbs WHAT IS IT? iOS audio exploit? Apple
- Another Update. Not only have I had ads for other oat milk powders I now have ads for overnight oats - see below. This shows pretty clearly I have been tagged as interested in Oats and this is not a coincidence.

- Reposted by Marc PalmerInteresting to watch Musk spin his newly released correspondence with Epstein. What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.
- Reposted by Marc PalmerLabour would rather Reform take the seat than the Greens. Firstly it will help them with their "Vote for us or else" narrative, which is all they have. Secondly, they are far closer politically to Reform than they are to the Greens. Anti-Immigrant, pro-Israeli genocide, pro-billionaire.

Paul spells out what we've all observed, that Starmer enumerated he'd deep abiding fundamental principles through his life and his career, which he's then violated in leadership and he's violated in office. He was elected by misdirection.
- Reposted by Marc PalmerMusk is back to hyping the idea that your car will work as a robotaxi when you aren't using it, and repeats his wild-ass claim that these cars might be able to earn more than they cost to lease, making them economic perpetual motion machines that Tesla chooses not to profit from itself

You live in a theme park."
