I explained myself badly and I think that comment reads as more argumentative than I intended.
I meant to say that the countercultural world of the early internet created a lot of the deeply problematic culture of the current moment as well as having a bunch of right-on goodness. The seeds of the bad shit were also there in amongst everything that was good.
Thanks for the explanation. Tbh my feeling is that is largely doesn't matter what the motivation for the u-turn is. The proposal was for anti corruption/anti pernicious influence reasons. Backing out of it without a clear alternative is a statement that those influences have worked on you. The unions should be as bothered by large donors as much as anyone else and failing to make that argument to them is either a failure of leadership or exactly what you suggest.
I'm confused. £500k for individual donations is way more that £164 347. Is there something I'm missing here? Also, where did you get the £300k cap from?
You might be interested in my reply above then. Essentially, thats part of why the obsession exists. I'm finding it hard to state it in a none conspiracy theorist way, but it's largely right wing anti science grifters winning an argument against health.
TLDW:
It's a right-wing grift. The Leftist Cooks argue that carnivore and “protein-maxxing” diets are not about health; they’re tied to masculinity, control, grift, and far-right politics. They use figures like Jordan Peterson and the Liver King to show how restrictive meat-heavy high protein diets can become symbols of power, identity, and pseudo-scientific authority.
The broader argument is food is never just food. Dietary choices can carry cultural meaning, political signaling, and ideological pressure, and that high protein culture is part of a larger ecosystem that can normalize authoritarian, anti-science, and anti-egalitarian thinking.
The video is excellent though. It's basically a miniseries on the various causes and effects of this and it's incredibly well put together, even if it is 6 hours long. 😱
Here's an interesting quote. Hopefully this will mean we have some more regulation on Lime bikes soon.
The English Devolution Bill, which is has received Royal Assent, should give Transport for London the powers to regulate and license dockless e-bikes.
London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan previously told BBC London the sector was "like the Wild West" and "we desperately need regulation", but that "lobbying [the government] has paid off".
"If this government carries through its promise to bring in regulation around e-bikes, e-scooters, dockless bikes, we hope there should be better standards across London."
I hear you. The hazards of cycling compared to driving a wildly overblown in media coverage terms. I think lime bikes are a bit of a different case though. They are frequently used in very dangerous ways by people with little road cycling experience and have motors that excelerate fast enough to exacerbate that danger. I think it's good that there is a call for more regulation on them.
The name of Reform has always made me think of this too! You may as well call your party Nice Things. "Do you stand against Nice Things." "See this is why we don't have Nice Things."
You're entirely right. For some reason I thought he'd been around a lot longer

Explain the likes of Curtis Yarvin then. There's definitely some techno fascists that go back further than dot-com

Oh, I have another much much shorter video that summarises a meta analysis that backs this up. It says that more proteins may actually even lead to marginally reduced muscle gains. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j1bx0GMofYw&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

It turns out the answer is realy very long, but it's a hell of a ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K35FtbuyTh4

Reach was indeed the best Halo game. Bungie's last was thier finest in both tone, story and gameplay.
Why are they so determined to cast a character that's only ever been voiced by black men as white?
Edit: The quantity of down votes I'm getting is fascinating. I'm disappointed no one wants to make an argument for them though.
But I haven't baught a graphics card sinse before the crypto boom 🤔
Bin it to win it
They probably shouldn't be expected to work on weekends then
Why not exercise in a vest/tank top and let your armpits breath?

Is there a slide down terminal like guake yet?
