Exactly. Said it before and I'll say it again. I do not want to be the 'manager of my car'. That'd be a downgrade from being an actual driver. Lane Assist, auto-stop-start, cruise control are enough for me and have been

Agreed. But at the rate we're going, the US and "worse" will likely have converged ... "TOO LOW, PULL UP. TOO LOW, PULL UP" Take your country back before it's too late.

We do what we can, where we can, when we can. Personally, I find it's less about the act (although financially depriving companies of my cash does make me feel good), it's about the conversation the act starts. And I've seen

I find it more effective to say, I'm avoiding product X for Y reason. This starts a conversation more effectively with contacts rather than go full large company avoidance which is difficult for people to imagine, let alone act on. I s

Well done for the BDS attempt ... had to get my Mum to return her Sodastream as she had no idea. But I have to say, this whole thing is enough to turn me off soft drinks altogether. Maybe that's the point? Those bags full of crystals

Excellent move. Hopefully these moves continue the trend spreading through Europe. With another 3 or so years with the Orange Dildo in charge, there's a decent chance the momentum will turn into something tangible.

There's "outspoken" and "political messaging" ... and then there's supporting Nazi-adjacent characters. Elon Musk will always be just a Giant, Nazi-aligned, Dildo on my scorecard. Obviously that doesn't ma

I'm not insisting on anything. I'm fully conscious of tectonic plates shifting and creating huge change and the need for response. But, again, none of what we've seen the current admin engaged in has been inevitable. And no,

There is nothing inevitable about strategically moronic war, a super power supporting an ethno-religious genocide, and an orange dildo ripping up international order.

What a great, and tragic, visualisation ... really brings it home. EDIT: and pathetic that it's immediately been flagged by the usual wankers.

Pressure is building, thankfully. It's not just petitions now, but legal groups getting involved, etc. At least in the UK. Hopefully it spreads like wildfire around Europe. The orange Oompa Loompa is likely helping kindle those flames

They help raise awareness but, true, only work in conjunction with other actions. Fortunately, I am aware of some of those other actions. E.g. pro bono legals taking the fight on, etc.
