Apparently, the UK is no longer part of the EU.

@Lord Goku  
Legally speaking, yes. But it’s still in the separation period so the UK still follows EU laws until the end of 2020. Most laws won’t change much, with the exception of immigration laws. But then again, I don’t like moving anyways.

Let that sink in.

@Lord Goku  
Great Britain is free!

The European Parliament votes in favor of a common charger despite Apple’s protests
 
For once the EU parliament does something right.

@Selaphiel  
Ah, Apple. Likes to make themselves look “exclusive” and does so by selling relatively mundane products at over-expensive prices.

TL;DR: This article talks about a Conservatives are picking up trash in Liberal Cities, and how it is annoying people on the Left; despite they’re just picking up Trash.
 
Side note: Whoever the author who wrote that article, they need to stop treating this like it’s a novel, nobody fucking cares about the smell of Fried Chicken from Denny’s.

@SombrLiz  
They need to do that in San Francisco.

Oh boy, political theatre. I guess if you got nothing else to do…

@SombrLiz  
Vox and Huffington Post level of fixation with politics. They act like their politic views are everything and the only thing in life.

ZeroHedge: Twitter ban over coronavirus article ’arbitrary and unjustified [Fox Business]
 
TL;DR: Twitter has permanently suspended ZeroHedge’s Twitter claiming they spreading misinformation, ZeroHedge find the suspension “arbitrary and unjustified,” the person who got ZeroHedge suspended was a man named Ryan Broderick, a journalist for BuzzFeed.

@SombrLiz
 
Because Twitter TOTALLY is an expert on what “credibility” is.  
When they have countless “health gurus” constantly spreading blatant “herbal” quackeries and blatant scams that are potentially hazardous to people’s health.
 
What even is “credibility” anymore?
 
Twitter always claims that they “lack resources” to deal with those kinds of users on their platform. But they seem to very swift at taking down anything that happen to not align with certain political views. They always seem to have their ban hammer hovering over select groups, waiting to fall on whoever dares to step slightly out of line..
 
Buzzfeed is champion of misinformation on pretty much EVERYTHING.

@Selaphiel  
Yet Media Bias Fact Check considered them as highly factual.

@SombrLiz  
Journalist and social media industries are terminally ill to the core. They operate not that much different from criminal syndicates.

Kansas City is going ballistic right now.  
Rockin’

@lonewolf  
NICE!

Oops.  

 
Granted he’s not the only one to make that mistake. Both times I saw Iron Maiden in KC Bruce called it KCKS instead of KCMO (much to the crowd’s disapproval).

@lonewolf
 
Why is there even a Kansas City in Missouri?

@Selaphiel  

 
Oh, there is something I should add about this journalist, if you find his old tweets and tumblr post; it turns out his posts were not only racists, but also pedophilic in nature.

@TheDog  
It’s at the start of the Kansas river, connecting with the Missouri river.
 
Yes, settlers were really lazy with naming things.

@lonewolf  
It’s the first time the Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl in 50 years.
