Can’t say I disagree with this terse assessment of Stanley Johnson.

It's fucking insane how addicted corporations have become to #tracking everything you do, everything you look at, everything you type, everything you think about.

They've gotten so brazen about it. Shit like this - the #Microsoft #Edge browser routing every image through some "AI enhancer" that also tracks what you're viewing - is now a default setting. I suppose at least people who use Edge can opt out, for now, if they know to.

We need #privacy legislation so badly.

The Scots language needs its own equivalent to “siesta”, but with various ancillaries to cover the existence of midges, taps-aff, the haar, Irn Bru/Buckfast, etc.

OK, so the Privileges Committee found that Johnson had not only lied to Parliament, he'd also lied to the Committee.

Now, maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but didn't he testify to the Committee under oath?

I wonder if the Committee will have the balls to refer him to the police for perjury?

"[the] denials and explanations were so disingenuous that they were by their very nature deliberate attempts to mislead"

In any other field of life than politics, that'd be a professional death sentence. Would you trust a doctor of whom that could be said? An engineer? A childminder?

There is not enough irony in the world to unpack this accidentally comedic bellend's obsequiousness.

@statsguy Touché. A drop in the bucket of opprobrium that he rightly deserves, but significant by its mere existence nonetheless.

Fuck off, Johnson, you sociopathic lying shit.

@statsguy I'm shocked. Shocked, I say!
