All Aboard the Atrocity Barge

It's the free one!

For this week’s free one, we’re discussing a startup that will serve you ads in order for you to crash your car, revisiting some old scam-based friends who will either never suffer consequences or are already stuffed inside a barrel, and examining the state of British politics which creates a cross-party consensus for stuffing asylum seekers into a prison hulk (and patting itself on the back for being so humane).

Check out the crowdfunder for the St Mungo’s strike here! https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/unitesmstrike

Google maps already has results promoting and everything in their app. Tesla runs Google maps and must already have all the APIs for this too, so it’s quite likely they’ll be the first to bring ads to their navigation

Hearing the abrupt edit of the Begbie impression into the jarring shift in tone section leaves me wondering what libellous content ol’ Frannie strayed into

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole migrant thing. Yes, the conditions on the barge are bad and we should not be doing this but what is the alternative? Whether its people on the left or the right, nobody seems to consider the issue as a whole. I disagree with TF when they say that these people are fleeing persecution when many are arriving for economic reasons and claiming to be asylum seekers. This kind of take is unbalanced and is harmful as it pushes people towards a harsher right wing position.

The thing that still wigs me out about Dubai is that during the Dubai World Cup there were a bunch of tourism ads for the city, all of which mentioned "world class shopping". like, ok, the sort of person who flies across the world for Fendi belts is exactly the sort of person you want coming to Dubai, but you're still selling your city as a drier Short Hills, NJ with more ongoing human rights abuses

Were there seagulls in the background of Alice’s audio or am I going insane?

Would rather be in nick/on the prison hulk with Sunak cos I think it would be easier to physically intimidate him into giving me half his rations.

Great thanks a lot Milo, now I’m dying to fly Emirates for that sweet pod content

I also wish I could fly them more, but mainly because of the Airbus A380. (RIP)

Australian children learn about British prison hulks in grade 5 as part of our proud convict history. They were not a viable long term solution.

Letting them out into remote islands isn't good either. They might start hooning

The fun addition to the chess ban is, that a few weeks earlier, a bunch of women, including some trans women, spoke up about sexual harassment in the industry. The ban might very much be in reaction to that.

eSports isn't being fucked over by transphobes. Women's leagues (technically a bit broader than 'women's' leagues in that they include enbies in many cases - as you might imagine, these leagues exist for the exact same reasons that women's chess leagues exist) include trans women for most major eSports. Most of the people I know on the league (rather than team or player) side of things wouldn't even consider such a ban. Can't speak to practices in China or South Korea.

Scarlett (Sasha Hostyn) has been one of the top North American Starcraft 2 players for most of the last decade, and played several seasons in South Korea. So long as you don’t open Twitch chat while she’s playing, everything is great. Edit: ten years on, this is still on a lot of top ten SC2 moments of all time lists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS6UrrRG7Aw

Mikhail Tal knew how to be around women, as evidenced by his being married at least thrice. That's why they killed him by making alcohol and smoking so cool and fun.
