Hungarian Foreign Minister hugs Rosatom chiefs in Russia.

Rosatom cares about Russian nuclear weapons which Russia uses to threaten Europe with annihilation.

Hungarian government is a traitor of European security.

Chris Bryant wants to make it a "criminal offence for an MP or Peer to work for a foreign power that has been specified by the govt to be a danger to the country.. why would the govt oppose such a measure.. this is an open door to treachery & treason.. we should close that door."

Brexit Reality, Funny 

@WEBylines Classic...

I did try to buy one, so did 60 bazillion other people ;)

The chap explains here that he only made 100. It was very labour intensive and tricky to cut out the word. Then posted on FB thinking only a couple of people would buy them. Then it went viral.

There's one in the Victoria and Albert Museum

Figured I should explain this here in case folk are wondering why my finger is often in my photos - I have scale bars tattooed on my index fingers, the lines and dots are 5mm apart and they’re super useful for quick field photos 😅 Demonstrated here with some gorgeous crinoidal limestone from Fife 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In the comments: "Forgot another one: our analytics team is finding discrepancies between campaign data from the Twitter Ads API and the UI. Can’t figure out which is correct anymore since we don’t have a team."
Anyone would pull their spend. Not even certain what they are getting for their $$!

Apparently Twitter just gutted it’s sales & account management teams. You know, the teams that pull in & manage almost of their revenue via ads. Genius.
I ran some number for the subscription service…
To *simply just pay off the interest on their debt* Twitter needs 14.5 million subscribers to Blue.
To make up their ad revenue they need 53.1 million.
So, in total, they need 67.6 million subscribers. Basically, to be as popular a paid service as YouTube, who is 10x larger.

In Citizens United, the conservative justices asserted that political money can only be regulated to prevent corruption, and that "Ingratiation and access...are not corruption."

Some have speculated that the justices were naive and didn't get how politics really works.

But this story suggests the opposite: that some justices are politicians in robes who are perfectly comfortable with a system wherein the wealthy and well-connected can buy both access and influence.
