  • after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary

    "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.

    Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary? Why didn’t the police investigate before? If so there should be an investigation and prosecution of those involved in the “non-investigation”.

    This failure to investigate is an outrage, many people including me listened to Russel Brand in the 2010s, but the police failed to investigate and now has the gall to say “the defendant has a right to a fair trial”? Does the public not also have a right to a fail investigation and prosecution?





  • Just a silly joke of course. Gallows humor. In order to combat climate change you’d have to re-design how we live and work and our economic system and reset existing wealth inequalities, re-design and rebuild thousands of industrial processes, and change multiple systems that are in place. For example you’d at least have to:

    1. Ban advertising to reduce desire/demand for consumption
    2. Ban patents (at least in the current form) so industrial processes can be re-designed and rebuild without roadblocks
    3. Nationalize news and social media and turn them into a cooperative under the control of the workers there
    4. Invest into R&D for circular economy and development and regulation for long lasting appliances and goods that last decades with repair and maintenance

    Basically what we learned is that it’s practically impossible for humanity as a global civilization to stop climate change. Most people can’t even bear to think about the steps it would take.

    Of course, developing the technology for a sustainable circular economy for the basic needs (food, energy, education, building shelters, communication etc) is still worthwhile.

    I suspect that women have dual mode sexual selection: Either dad material then attractiveness doesn’t matter as much as stable personality and material conditions, or someone with attractive exceptional genes. Meanwhile men will only judge by attractiveness but men (including the attractive ones) will still fuck anything.

    Basically game theory and the structure of dating apps makes women only be able to select for the first criteria.
