He added: 'Three years before you became Prime Minister, I predicted your victory when I showed you Winston Churchill's spoon on my Cadillac, which I asked you to touch.'
He also claimed he is using the power of his mind to ensure that 'Jeremy Corbyn never gets the keys to Number 10 Downing Street'.

About a million people joined a protest march in London today to stop the Brexit.

The Brexit date has been pushed back to April 12th, beyond that, they're going to have to decide whether they want to take part in the EU Parliamentary elections.

Rumblings about sacking Theresa May, and that she would be forced to step down if the third vote (on the same damn thing) failed. Only problem though is that the Tories have their own remainer and leave camps, so.....

April 12th, year 3000. MayNet develops sentience and delays brexit

Iceland is going all rebel for Eurovision this year apparently. Though maybe I should dig up the EUrovision thread.

Good news, everyone!

Tories should elect Maybot 2.0, who has used machine learning and Markov chains to create a perfect replica of Theresa May's dealmaking prowess.

It's learned by simulating millions of Brexit deals against itself. The Starcraft players present in the EU stand no chance.

*sound of MPs ripping the steering wheel away from Theresa May*

Yes, there are two links in there, and probably a little overdramatic take. Though I guess it would be equivalent to the rank and file members of the House or Senate rebelling and taking control of the agenda away from the House/Senate leadership. Unless that's a misinterpretation?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Doesn't seem like this improves the chances for a deal. Just more cooks in the kitchen, but the kitchen is on fire.

Sounds like they're just using it to force a third vote (on what specifically, I'm not sure) plus some votes on Brexit related things that Theresa May was refusing to do.

edit: Actually, looks like they're forcing votes on a bunch of alternatives which Theresa May was probably refusing to hold. Also, does Theresa May even have any ministers left? Seems like every cabinet position has had at least one resignation since Brexit started.

EU parliament is voting on copyright today.

I don't think it's going to end well for us.

RE: EU copyright bullshittery

Behold the power of centralization; A single point at which all the monied lobbyists may focus their efforts to get their way in a widespread and sweeping scope of application.

It's not longer just "Germany has absurd copyright laws; at least here in Finland we have sensible ones."  Now it is "Fuck. The lobbyists got to parliament, and now we are all well and truly screwed."


Information is quite possibly the least scarce resource we have in this modern era.  Why do we keep extending copyright terms, and increasing penalties?  Oh-- Because FUCKING MONEY. That's why. Carry on!
