I want to give a huge thanks to everyone that has responded.

There is no doubt whatsoever, that Elon Musk's X/Twitter has had major changes to it's algorithm, particularly in the last 4-5 months, which stops mutuals seeing each other's posts. I can only find their posts if I search them out.

This seems to deliberately target progressives, but not just those with overt political views, just anyone who doesn't endorse right wing populism. Many of these people whose posts I rarely see now, are photographers, birders, natural history people, who rarely post politicised views.

By progressive I simply mean anyone with enlightened views who doesn't endorse the hate mongering and regressive views of the modern populist right, including old style Conservatives. Many of these people would not see themselves as progressive.

.@zarahsultana, Master of Optics

Imagine the scenario; you're a Labour MP about to get sacked so you ask to join a collective that've spent months planning a working class party.

Their best asset: the most successful socialist LOTO in 45 years.

What do you do?

First, you demand to be co-leader of this steering committee to which you've had no input thus far.

Demand that the 5 Independent Alliance MPs, each with their own personal mandate, vote for you who was elected on a Starmer ticket to be co-lead.

#ZarahSultana
Unilaterally announce you will co-lead a new party (no mention of elections).

Name drop Corbyn & start taking donations, funnelled to a bank account controlled by your mates.

Dominate public messaging, to the point most people couldn't name the other MPs but for Corbyn.

1/ The Russian army's fetish for bureaucracy has reached new levels this year, according to a Russian soldier and warblogger. The quantity has tripled over the past year, but the system is geared towards generating false information, or "fantasy stories about armed conflict". โฌ‡๏ธ Image
2/ 'Vault No. 8' has previously written about the extreme quantities of paperwork that the Russian army requires its personnel to generate and process. As well as taking up huge amounts of officers' time, the output often does not reflect reality.
3/ A further problem is that the Russian army is still, in the year 2025, entirely paper-based, and does not make use of electronic data collection and processing; it all has to be dealt with manually. 'Vault No. 8' writes:

Dark truth most women donโ€™t want you to know:

1. They love controlling the relationships. Image
1. They love controlling the relationships

A lot of women feel safest when they quietly steer the emotional direction of the relationship while you handle the hard work outside. She studies your reactions and learns what makes you panic, what makes you fold and what makes you chase.

If every time she cries, withdraws or threatens to leave you instantly change your position, she learns that your emotions belong to her. It is rarely an evil master plan, it is just human nature using what works.

The more you surrender your frame to keep the peace, the more she controls the tone, the pace and the rules of the connection. Control is often silent, it looks like you adjusting your whole life around her mood for years.
2. Attention is the most powerful leash

Many women understand that your brain lights up when she gives or withholds attention. A warm message, a selfie, a long call before sleep, then three days of cold distance, this cycle conditions you like any reward experiment.

Your mood rises and falls based on her response speed and tone. If you keep chasing harder every time she pulls away, you train yourself to accept unstable bonds.

The dark truth is that attention becomes a leash only when you let your happiness hang on her replies instead of on your own mission and routine. When your life is full, her attention becomes a bonus, not oxygen.

A reminder the Australian Online Safety Act has been proposed, worked on, consulted on, drafted, re-drafted, had committees & submissions since 2015. Also, several Inquiries that report and receive more feedback from experts & the public.

Gunna need more than "censorship bad".
I can't speak for the UK, who are a) a different system and b) implementing differently, but don't get them confused and please, before you mouth off, maybe consider that the bar is high here, and you should maybe... shut up about it.
Again I note the futility here, because dipshits are amplified and people who actually know what they're talking about shout into the void. However, this is one of the most widely consulted pieces of legislation ever.

-We werenโ€™t just cool โ€” we were cooler than a fresh pack of vinyl records.
-Weโ€™d stay out dancing till the bartender started sweeping around our feet, wander home under buzzing streetlights, and still punch in the next day like it was nothing but a groove. Cont.
-Long story shortโ€ฆ keeping up with us might require bell-bottoms, disco energy, and a miracle. I miss those days.

@BrockRiddickIFB Don't humiliate the fathers of the Police of Poland.
They will come to Poland and by the vaccine which kills the police of Poland will die but those fathers will make a new force of the Police in Poland by their seeding powers.
That's why the police of Poland love them.
@BrockRiddickIFB It is fully scientific because science says that mankind spread from Africa to the world and the same science makes the killer vaccines to kill the police of Poland and proves that the new seeds all were from Africa.
That's how science works. You shouldn't humiliate it.
