@ericbuijs Shouldn't Jeff Bezos be on that list?

@ericbuijs Actually it's hilarious that Zuckerberg will always be Jeff "The Real Dr Evil" Bezos's number 2. Never top dog, just a shit.

@chjara If you have a crossbow they totally lose their shit. That dungeon bash probably requires heavy weaponry and an exorcist.

@QueenRamonda @TonyStark It's a thin line between democracy & autocracy. In the UK legislation is being forced through by the Home Secretary using 80 seat supermajority voted for by ~45% of the population. It criminalises free speech. You can be arrested for protesting in groups, or alone if you make noise or are judged likely to upset anyone. You can be jailed for sitting in the street. If you protest women being raped & murdered by police this is the response...

The petition to revoke the knighthood for war criminal Tony Blair is growing support. https://chng.it/bGvFJbm8HjBlair represents the turning point in UK politics where Westminster stopped pretending to be a democracy and simply served the interests of corporations, at the cost of global peace, millions dead, and billions suffering or impoverished (including the majority of UK residents).

Tips for #NewToMastodon people. If you want people to follow you - or let you follow them - write something as a bio and post a hello. If you've never posted people assume you're fake.Take a look at both your instance timeline, and the wider "world" timeline. Scroll the most recent 50-100 posts to see if anyone's messages catch your attention - then follow that person.If you decide after a few days you're not interested, unfollow them and find other people.Interact - don't just lurk.

@AgentCarter_SSR @TonyStark Perhaps we should use the same process when encountering blinkered views around racism, economics, religion, political ideology, refugees, climate change...

I'm curious @TonyStark what people in the US are making of the two big stories in the UK. Partygate, where government introduced Covid lockdowns then the same politicians & civil servants went on a spree of multiple alcohol fuelled parties despite gatherings being illegal.The second, of course, being the Queen's favourite son Andrew facing trial for sexual abuse enabled by his pimp Epstein. He has been stripped of royal position & military titles, before trial starts.

@TonyStark I don't know if Jimmy Saville means anything in the US. He was a famous TV entertainer on kids shows including Top of The Pops (teen music show). He did lots of work for charity including regular visits to orphanages and children's wards. After he died it came to light he was Britain's worst serial paedophile, who used his celebrity status with BBC & connections to abusers in celeb & political circles to silence accusations. Andrew was a friend. It's a pattern.

@TonyStark In the US you have many people of wealth who abuse the system. Those like yourself are frustrated & angry about inequalities and lack of justice.In the UK, positions of power allowed people to do whatever they liked for centuries. I have a pet theory that the UK working class is so compliant because it was bred into them. Any peasant challenging the authority of the ruling classes would have been executed, so only sheep survived.

@vriska I'm in favour of having a big delivery drone grab him and let go 205'above Trump Plaza.That's 1 foot up for every million dollars he makes in a day.As for the place - maybe we'll get lucky and he'll land on some other billionaire bag of shit.

@Arcana We got to keep all the bureaucracy and none of the advantages. I know public bodies and responsible companies are still aiming for compliance, I just don't know if anyone is policing it.

@freedcreative I only discovered noise cancelling headphones after I started learning from the autistic community on birdsite.At that point I was struggling with burnout and needing answers (I was just considered depressed & wierd, not autistic), and couldn't cope going to supermarket due to sensory overload causing meltdown. Headphones meant I could still buy groceries.

@freedcreative My current headphones aren't completely noise cancelling, but they cut all the background hum and noise of a busy shop and dampen their tannoy music to tolerable. If it gets bad I connect my MP3 player and drown it out with my own music.Strange that I'm ok with my headphones playing music, but not the shop blasting the same song at me. I think it's because I'm subconsciously picking up all the echoes

@nosleep It's not complimentary.It'll cost you all your portable valuables, and you'll probably have your ticket punched.
