Can someone explain why #Macron thinks this is a good moment to elect a new French Parliament?

@markhughes I think he's trying to repeat the reason he got re-elected. Fear of Marine le Pen gaining power.

Which isn't a good strategy given that was the presidential election and not the parliamentary elections. Also officially it's not Le Pen who's the official leader right now.

UkTV schedule, you're avin' a larf.

Choice 1:
BBC: 90 minutes of political debate with seven of the parties, including Farage 🤮

Or C4: England playing in the Euros (against Iceland 😱).

Followed by your choice of dessert:

Apocalypse Now or
Insomnia

🤣 or 😢?

🤦‍♂️

Laughable, in a good way, UK election round up of the day.

Doesn't quite do what it says on the tin (re Starmer) but well worth a read.

And if 's U-turn, destroying the chances doesn't send you apoplectic with laughter, check out the following poll that puts him and on 15% but with ZERO seats.

What a fucking world.

They have offered a protective shield against the and so his war crimes and continue.

This is also on you , and your silence is shameful and racist.

Using for technical design is like asking Picasso to design aircraft.

Engineer: more wings please. No, not that many, and make them symmetrical this time. No, no, no...

I've just appended '_nomap' to the name of my WiFi (SSID) because apparently that's the only way to stop every passing from capturing the SSID and sending it with its location back to Apple, who use it to create a global database which tracks devices that offer WiFi or have a WiFi hotspot.

Every person with an iPhone is a roaming mule and doesn't give a shit about anyone's or the potential harms creating such a database enables. Remember that.

@markhughes Google's been doing this (with the same lame _nomap opt out) since 2011, Microsoft also do it unless you have _optout and Huawei require _nospy
Might be time to just turn off SSID broadcast..

@markhughes@mastodon.social avatar

If you have access to BBC and like a bit of Le Carre, there are seven episodes of A Perfect Spy waiting for you.

These old BBC dramas are gold. Go dig. Oppenheimer was another treat.

Let me know any gems you uncover.

@markhughes Is that the 1987 series?

@bernat sounds about right.

and 's attempt to characterise the as likening to is a despicable lie, worthy of the worst tyrants.

The ICC is judging Netanyahu and Hamas leaders individually against their actions and the law. That's it, and they should all have their innocence or guilt tested in court, just like everybody else and not be spinning lies to hide from that.

So nice to hear the words and arrest warrant in the same sentence.

Every artist performing tonight while ignoring the presence of a genocidal nation on the same stage is guilty.

Just like the appeasers of the Nazis before they committed . Only this time the genocide is already happening.

remram44,

@markhughes I don't understand the dissonance that can bring someone to call artists "guilty of genocide" while thinking watchers are perfectly fine

markhughes,
@markhughes@mastodon.social avatar

@remram44

  1. Don't put words in my mouth because you don't have a reasoned rebuttal.
  2. I'm not watching.

Stop defending genocide by criticising someone who is advocating against it.

If that's your priority, fuck you.

I was expecting to receive pushback for my comments, but so far you are the only one. Well done.

All I've had until you is boosts and favourites.

How many songs tonight mention "love" while ignoring 's message that they must commit , including so far the mass murder of 14,000 children?

Such fun! 🥳

@markhughes@mastodon.social avatar

Mr Holmes (Ian McKellen on 2) or ignoring on BBC 1.

Not a difficult choice for me.

Don't feed on the deaths of 14,000 children tonight. Make a statement that , and the support it has from corrupt UK & US governments is unacceptable to you.

Or not, but live with your choice whatever it is. Don't pretend you care if you can't bring yourself to not watch it.

is murdering civilians en masse. Are you ok with that or not?
