  • Brandolini's law (or the bullshit asymmetry principle) is an Internet adage coined in 2013 by Italian programmer Alberto Brandolini. It compares the considerable effort of debunking misinformation to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. The adage states:

    The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.[1][2]

  • Not too dissimilar to how one of the officers struck a protestor with a sledgehammer mere seconds before.

    Watch the video yourself, it has been released.

    The officer was signed off for 3 months. For a back injury. That's nothing as back injuries go. The other officer that they tried to spin as also brutally mauled by barbarian terrorists wasn't even taken to hospital because the injuries were so superficial. This is so clearly an attempt by the police and government to spin one action done in the heat of the moment in an act of self defence as the premeditated actions of an entire group.

    Even if the intention was to grievously harm an officer, GBH is not terrorism. GBH by one member does not reflect the entire group and its intentions. If that were the case then the police are also a terrorist organisation (wait... actually...)

  • Everything is political. The person you responded to was trying to give an explanation, they wrote 3 words and a question mark. Whether they're correct or not doesn't matter, they were contributing.

    Get your aggressive attitude and demand, like you're some form of authority, the fuck out of here. It's not conducive to a healthy community or discussion. Your aggression removed the possibility of discussion, not them.

  • They're not letting the Met do anything.

    They're explicitly instructing them to, with proscription and their crackdown on protest moreso than the Tories did.

    We have red Tories in charge just now instead of blue Tories. It's the Democrats and Republicans in America all over again. And because both flavours of Tory are shite, people are dissatisfied and terrifyingly pledging their support to Reform (aka the fascist party) instead.

    Your Party (socialists) and The Greens (environmentally focused social democrats-ish) are also gaining vote share but alarmingly not at the same rate as Reform.

  • Who defines what is a natural and what is an artificial change?

    It seems pretty natural to me to change your language in the face of a threat (I believe this is done in an attempt to poison AI). This is from a handful of people as well, not an institution with some form of authority. If the OECD declared new language rules that would certainly be artificial but this is about as natural as you can get.

  • Activist group says it has scraped 86m music files from Spotify

  • I'm just some random on the internet but I'd rather you didn't pay Spotify. Here's one example for why, among many.

    In November 2021, Prima Materia, an investment company cofounded by Ek and Spotify investor Shakil Khan, was announced as the lead investor in a €100 million fundraising round for Helsing, a European defense company that develops military strike drones and AI systems. Ek also joined Helsing's board along with its co-founders Torsten Reil, Gundbert Scherf and Niklas Köhler.[171] In 2025, Ek's firm increased its investment in Helsing, leading a €600 million funding round in the company that valued it at €12 billion.[172]

    Several artists have objected to Ek's investments in defense technology. The German DJ and techno producer Skee Mask urged his nearly 17,000 Twitter followers not to give their "last penny to such a wealthy business that obviously prefers the development of warfare instead of actual progression in the music business." According to Sameer Gupta, a percussionist based in Brooklyn, New York, "All that money that's being taken from artists and musicians is being funneled to this," referring to Helsing. "I don't know a single musician who would ever say, 'That's the function of music.'"[173] In 2025, the bands Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hotline TNT, Massive Attack, and Sylvan Esso removed their music from the streaming service over objections to Ek's investment in Helsing.[174][175][176][177][178]

  • If you watch the video that was released you'll see it's not as clear cut as your comment makes out.

    For example, the officer was also wielding a sledgehammer, a protestor had just slipped on the wet floor and as they were getting up again the sledgehammer wielding officer used the handle to shove them to the ground again.

    Only parts of the footage have been released and the parts they did release didn't paint the picture of an innocent bobby being brutalised by terrorists, as they tried to portray in multiple press releases beforehand.

    They also released the footage during the midst of an active trial despite having it for months prior.

    The police's actions are not those of an impartial or innocent organisation.

    Who fills a cup with cheese? It comes sold in weight, you can guess (or measure!) how much x weight is based upon how much weight you have, without having to dirty additional utensils.
