    James is either being sarcastic or his comedy taste is in line with his musical taste.

    As an aside, my nephew showed me through TikTok the other day and there is now absolutely no doubt in my mind that it's a weapon created by the Chinese to rot the brains of this and all future Western generations. I feel a bit dim I didn't come up with the idea of that myself, but once you've seen it you can't unsee it.

    No idea, but presumably the rampant conformity they have there irons out the wrong-uns pretty quickly.

    I just saw Baz reply to a random tweet. The tweet itself is viral with 2.9m views so for it to appear on both our timelines is standard but it does make me wonder the probability of such an event. Small place.

    Elon Musk has suggested that all users of X, formerly called Twitter, may have to pay for access to the platform.

    Which is the best Twitter/X alternative?

    I've never seen one that doesn't have that stupidly confusing server type setup (Mastodon, etc).

    If it was like $1 a month would that really make much difference to most normal people?

    Is this Internet 2.0 or we at 3.0 now? Which is the one where it was all consolidated in a small number of hands and access was extremely limited [by comparison to the open world of the early internet] and largely subscription based?

    It wouldn't but even the admin involved in paying would take out maybe a third of people before you've even started.

    Making all social media subscription based would probably be one of the greatest things anyone could do to halt the seemingly inexorable slide of humanity into the abyss, towards which said platforms have dragged it.

    It wouldn't make any difference but I wouldn't be bothered about signing up for it. Same as every news website that's disappeared behind a pay wall.

    Spot on to be fair. Especially Twitter and TikTok, which have broken society more than most.

    Even 1c or 1p would rule a lot of people as that's the anonymity gone and all the freedom to be a cunt that it brings.

    It's one of those ever-decreasing circles, as to introduce payment would remove value to the extent that there would be much less reason to want to pay for it.

    Of course Elon Musk / accountants (delete as appropriate) have zero understanding of this.

    The vision of breaking the system that allows for bots and mass disinformation campaigns is to be commended but a gammon with a nose as small as their little todger might be tempted to liken it to cutting the former off.

    Would be cracking if TikTok was subscription based.

    Imagine the amount of kids they'd save by parents refusing to pay.

    I went to a conference today where they compared news reports (including social media videos) to bodycam footage, including the dispatch call and background info. Quite funny.

    In a serious country every single person who tried to intervene there would get six months. Check the useless female copper doing nothing as well, like in every single video you see like that.

    By all accounts the main function of the female officers is the illicit on the clock sex during down time.

    My mate used to rent next door to one and it sounded like she was getting gangbanged every night.

    That’s just one person though. It’s like saying all footballers are nonces just cos Sigurdsson is.

    I know a few female police officers and they’re excellent.

    The majority of the time when there are loads of po-lice it’s purposely to crowd the situation and prevent harm to anyone. Although that is pretty lol in the context of the video.

    Police Women are fine, they just need to be used properly. Don't send them to massive street brawls where they're likely to end up just getting hurt.

    You don't really want a Police Men dealing with a woman that has been the victim of rape / domestic violence, and considering how widespread that is, they probably need more Police Women if anything.

    Literally heard it myself, but sorry it's so unbelievable that a promiscuous woman was also a police officer.

    I have also heard from former officers (though it may have changed but given all the 'damning' reports into culture at forces I doubt it) that the work shagging is rife. Somehow that will be unbelievable to some although it has always been the case on the railway that when you add women into unsociable shift work it's often a recipe for an affair.

    I thought it was well known that the police/prison service and schools were hotbeds for affairs. The Armed Forces are bad for it as well by all accounts, especially on deployment anywhere.

    I think police will be routinely armed, or at least a greater number of them will be (one of them in that group for example), within the next twenty years as the adult population gets browner.
