I’m so glad I pirated the harry potter audiobooks and didn’t give a cent to this bigot
cheers! Thank you for the polite conversation on Lemmy. Which is unfortunately rare in politics/news communities :)
in this case I would have mentioned that in the post. Just so people are informed.
I don’t like this source:
Since the change of ownership in 2016, concerns have been raised about the paper's editorial independence and self-censorship. Critics including The New York Times, Der Spiegel, and The Atlantic have alleged that the paper is on a mission to promote China's soft power abroad.[9][10]
And disabled or chronically ill people!
I’m praying we don’t fall asleep in the second half as is all too common with our team
It’s not Corbyn labour, it’s Starmer labour, which is Tories lite TM.
Am I the only one who always reads Bardella instead of Barella. Man I’m scared for the french elections.

that’ll only change the odds on a single bookmaker. There are thousands on the election.
Also it’s highly illegal to bet on an event you are part of (although that doesn’t seem to stop trump from doing other things).
Additionally, to sway public opinion, influencing pollsters and the media (which we have objective proof of camapigns doing) is more effective. although they were mentioned in this article, they’ll be mentioned a lot less than polls.
I think it’s sound. Ban really low quality news (daily mail), state sponsered propaganda outlets, and far right trash. The list is relatively short.
Completely Agree
The list is pretty short. And mostly includes:
- State sponsered propaganda outlets: Russia Today, Global Times etc
- Very Low quality news that might aswell just go find the same story with a better source: Daily Mail, The Sun
- Far Right Super Biased News: OANN, Breibart, National Enquirer etc
Thats still 42 precent republican. Out of every 10 million they donate 4.2 million goes to a racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist party.
I mean the betting markets are generally aligned with extravagant statistical prediction models.
After all these markets have hundreds of millions poured into them, and people are trying to win not loose. Obviously there are still problems with them, and that headline really should have included “according to bookmakers”.
I mean a lot of the time Biden’s sentence’s were incoherent. Reminding me of the Trump shark type blabbering. Disappointing. Although it seems he was ill.
Damn. Axios really should have mentioned it is a partisan pollster. That’s disappointing.
I don’t know the specific problem with that pollster but the general message of the headline still stands IMO.
Trump’s debate performance was awful, but so was Biden’s, and somehow because this country is weird as hell Biden is held to a much higher standard than Trump while also being immensely unpopular.
All undecided voters in a U.S. swing states focus group hosted by pollster Frank Luntz said President Biden should be replaced as the Democratic nominee after watching his first presidential debate against former President Trump.
New Zealand had passed a similar law due to take effect in 2025.
Before the pandemic, Lucy Keighley ran a gym, worked as a personal trainer and went on gruelling, exhilarating runs. But after three and a half years of illness, she isn’t sure she will ever recover
> I was incredibly strong and fit,” says Lucy Keighley. And she looks it, in the photo she is showing me, taken a few years ago. She is with her best friend, Lorna; they have just completed a 15-mile race on the North York Moors. “It was a brutal race,” she says. “But it was great. I was happy.” Today, although it’s quite dark in the room (she doesn’t get on well with bright light), I can see a tear rolling down her cheek. “I don’t know if I’m ever going to get back there.”
> In the most recent findings by the Office for National Statistics, released in April, an estimated 2 million people in England and Scotland (3.3% of the population) self-reported experiencing long Covid, meaning symptoms that continued for more than four weeks after infection, although many reported their symptoms had lasted two years or longer. Of those, about 1.5 million felt their day-to-day activities were affected, while 381,000 said their day-to‑day activities were “limited a lot”. Worldwide, at least 65 million people are estimated to have long Covid.
