@breadandcircuses … and in, say, 10 years they’ll be the COLDEST years of the last 20 years.
So it goes.
Soooooo I found a massive vulnerability today, the day before Thanksgiving.
Buuuuuuut it's looks like its existed for a couple of years.
So, should I report it RIGHT NOW!!!! The day before thanksgiving? Or wait until next week.
On one hand, they'll have to react to it as its huge. And it could interrupt their time with family and a major holiday.
On the other hand, it's been around for so long, what's another couple of days going to change anything?
On the third hand, if this gets exploited over the holiday weekend, it's on me and could affect even more people.
Hmmmmmmm.... choices choices.
Thing is, Keith, literally nobody voted for you to do David Cameron cosplay for five years.
So maybe what you need to cut is not imaginary “red tape”, but “the crap”, and start doing your job?
Muscle memory is such a powerful thing when not trained away. Recently my wife and I took a trip that involved quite a bit of swimming. As a kid and teenager I enjoyed swimming but unfortunately I haven't done much of it in the last 30 years.
So, muscle memory.. On the recent trip, every time I surfaced from swimming underwater I would use my hands to slick back my hair to keep it, and water, out of my face. This is a very distinctive motion that actually starts just before I surface. Every time, without fail.
Reader, I haven't had hair, much less enough to need slicking back, in over 20 years. It made me laugh nearly every time I surfaced. It has been so long since I spent any time underwater that I had forgotten that I even did it. I chalk that up to rarely swimming now and being blind AF w/o glasses so I wouldn't swim underwater much when I did. It's probably been 10+ years since I did it for any significant time.
Anyway, muscle memory is a hell of a thing and so is being able to laugh at yourself.
@sun @p @stux @mischievoustomato @meso idk about any of that but I do think it's sussy that Maxwll's father was Mossad. They were def collecting blackmail as that's actually how a lot of, CSAM rings also function online. You implicate yourself so you can't blackmail and so forth.
idk why or have any theories about Trump having a fallout with Epstein tbh, I do believe that anyone in the black book is either a complicit nonce and child trafficker, or a victim. I've found Maria Farmer's name in a copy of the list, and she is one of Maxwell's confirmed victims who testified, her younger sister was also abused by the pair. So it's definitely not just nonces who were in the black book. But people like Trump, Clinton, Gates, and even Naomi Cambell rings alarms in my head. Naomi Campbell in particular has been suspected of sex trafficking for years.
So I’m sure many people have watched her Architectural Digest video where she gives a tour of her Kenyan “luxury villa”.
Well, that “villa” is definitely a resort lol and has an interesting location on the coast of Kenya, in a town called Malindi. Malindi is notoriously known within Kenya as an Italian hotspot, to the point that many locals who live there speak Italian as their first/second language.
It is also notoriously known as a sëx tourism spot for Italian mafioso and other European tourists who come to the country, typically involving young Kenyan women from the coastal area.
So this coming morning (in 3 or so hours) The Times is reporting that they have leaked details of Labour's plans to update the process of acquiring a GRC (Gender Recognition Certificate) if they are elected to government.
This is the process in the UK of changing your legal sex.
Labour is getting rid of the 2+ years of heavy paperwork requirement as well as chucking the secret, hidden (often hostile) panel that judges your application and can refuse without reason. Instead just requiring you to have had a gender incongruence assessment and a (The Times is vague on this part) 2 years cooling off period. They are also getting rid of part of the that says if you are married you need to get permission of your spouse.
This is big.
Mainly because the extreme paperwork required and hostile panel is the biggest hurdle (outside of lack of non-binary legal recognition) for any trans person applying for a GRC and the main thing that puts most off from ever trying, or keeps many in a "half way state".
As community with large amounts of extreme anxiety / trauma /neurodivergency turns out is not well suited to maintaining meticulous and sustained paperwork in a hostile system over several years.
So its good news.
But on a slightly wider scale, the direct implication is that for Labour to know this and act on it means theyre talking and listening to Trans Orgs in shaping their policy.
And thats something that runs directly counter to a lot of the trans popular belief about Labours intentions.
So its going to be a bumpy few days as people contend with that news.
