I hate to sound so salty, but its mind boggling that they would fight this so vehemently, instead of just… filtering abusive content?

I guess it's just enshittification. Profits are their first priority.

Fuck Spez

If the US had a single transferable vote system then you could comfortably vote for a third party, if you wanted to, without helping out the opponent you dislike the most.

You just rank the candidates, so you could rank Jill Stein as 1 if you want, then Harris as 2, and Trump below that. So then if Stein has fewer votes than Harris and Trump each have (likely) then her votes would transfer to whoever her voters ranked 2nd.

Under this system, a third party candidate is more likely to win (maybe you don't like Jill Stein, but conceivably a third party could produce a good candidate). The ballot under this system looks like this:

You mean Amazon is bad to their workers?

Ideally no country would have nuclear weapons, but I don't think Russia's call for denuclearisation should be taken with any seriousness whatsoever unless they get rid of their own nukes.

Please just keep making sausage rolls, chicken bakes, steak bakes, and of course, sausage bean and cheese melts. Lovely jubbly.

I feel like the West is just doing the bare minimum to support Ukraine. Enough to be able to say "look we did something" but not too much, because maybe some voters won't understand the benefits of spending their taxes on Ukraine.

The West should then not allow Russia to have nuclear weapons "under any circumstances". Fair is fair.

Ah thanks those links do work. Some of that stuff is interesting, like this graph from the Cambridge link, with middle income people carrying the GOP:

Good PSA. Personally I'm not that worried because

1. I don't use Instagram
2. Firefox has an option to copy links without site tracking, which hopefully would work on Instagram links
3. I try to only write stuff online that wouldn't be massively embarrassing if anyone does happen to figure out who I am

Every one of those links gives me 404: not found... do they work for you? I am in the UK but that shouldn't be a problem because I can normally access stuff from Pew, NYT, and WaPo.

I might try uBlock Origin Lite, then if it doesn't work very well then maybe I'll just use Firefox

I guess Google are betting that only a small segment of power users will switch to Firefox, while the mass of ordinary people won't be bothered enough to switch.
