So far today, I've seen every major sequence, including the final battle and the post-credit scenes of the #FantasticFour just sitting at home on Tik Tok. Probably most of the movie, though some in Spanish ... Next time you discuss the problems of cinema think of this

New ID checks come in today for #pornography sites in the UK. Opened TOR, typed in porn site name. Works fine. 3 seconds... Dunno if this has been thought through properly....

All of the UK press will do everything it can to undermine this, but look at the membership. In a matter of days. And you can take quite a few off the Labour total as we'll be cancelling our membership now #YourParty

US critique of UK for lack of #freedomofspeech ... Meanwhile, US Universities: No you can't talk about, protest about or teach anything about Palestine, even though we've got the first amendment. We'll arrest you, shut courses down and give in to Trump theguardian.com/technology/202…

All those furious at privacy violations because they have to sign up for porn. Not one of them even noticed the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 :) 'oh no, privacy is now dead...' :) :) :)

One has to be blind not to see that Israel has completely lost the majority of the world - including in the West. This is Sydney today. No level of intimidation, surveillance, or threats can force the majority of humanity to support and defend apartheid and genocide.
