Hinckley C, Bradwell B, and I think Sizemore C were the most high profile nuclear projects with big Chinese investment and collaboration, although most also included France’s EDF energy. The projects started in the 2000s but most didn’t start building until the 2010s when the shift away from China happened. I’m sure there’s dozens of articles online, it was fair big ongoing British business / infrastructure news for a number of years.

In some countries the CIA has to send undercover assets to sabotage nuclear power projects. In Germany they just sign them up to be Die Grünen / Linke reps.

We were building nuclear with China in the 2000s but then America told us we had to get (even more) old school racist again.

I’ve been sick for 3 weeks almost. Every week is basically a new set of symptoms. It fucking sucks. It’s completely impossible to get a doctor’s appointment. Even if I was well enough to take them on, my work had had multiple projects delayed because there isn’t enough people to carry them out. And one of the kids’ schools has been closed all week because their isn’t enough staff.

The architects of the Starmer project are yes. It’s a tech capital driven, intelligence service backed transformational project to turn Britain into a techno-fascist vassal based on Israel and Special Economic Zones.

True, but then Zionists only barely give a shit about the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, never mind all the other victims that aren’t useful for their genocidal project propaganda.

I swear I’m the only person in the world that absolutely hated Clair Obscura (although that wasn’t entirely the game’s fault).

This would be a bit much in a Verhoeven movie.

I’m pro bodega-cat but New Yorkers act like they came up with that too. You’ll find way more neighbourhood shop cats in parts of Spain, Portugal, Greece, especially Turkey, and even Japan.

Musically, maybe failsons of the illuminati flying home from their Swiss boarding schools to start bands and do coke in NY dive bar bathrooms briefly after 9/11, for a couple of years anyway.

This is what happens when woke DEI starts pushing modern ‘beauty’ agendas in video games.

They’re afraid of portraying the male ideal of a square jaw.

And a square head.

And a square haircut.

And square eyebrows.

And square hands.

And bad jewelery.

I played some of the Resident Evil remakes recently (spooky season) and gameplay-wise it basically reminds me of 2, which is the one I liked the most by far anyway. But then you have much richer storytelling, really confident deep worldbuillding, and just an amazing presentation all layered on top. It’s definitely a game and story that’s well honed to my vibes though (meta Stephen King stuff, Twin Peaks, XFiles, folk horror etc)

I didn’t mean to imply you did so apologies if that’s how it came off. I just thought it was worth saying for other non-anime people that I was exactly not the target audience and yet I didn’t find it alienating at all.

I’m really really enjoying it. Somehow it manages to be both a good game and better at being kind of a prestige TV show than most actual prestige TV shows.

They are a good deal of fun if you like anime high school tropes.

That’s fair but for the record I’m old and very much not an anime watcher of any kind, and playing Persona 5 for the first time absolutely hooked me despite it’s occasional anime-ness. I’ve played 3 & 4 now and I think they’re a bit more tropey maybe (I’m not expert, going on vibes)? I felt like the classic good-hearted teenage rebellion in an uptight country that dismisses it’s young people themes in 5 were enough for it to break out of what I expected it to be a bit more and get it’s hooks in me narratively.

New Zealand isn’t real.

This was first an arguement put forward by a non-Jewish Labour MP during the Corbyn smears. Strangely, no one went after them for antisemetism.

I’m not an expert, I’ve just seen them live quite a few years ago and have liked bits and pieces over the years. They’re not a go to band for me (I like my punk more hardcore basically - Bad Breeding would be my main suggestion of actual ideological leftist contemporary UK punk) and they vary quite a bit.

The first couple of records are a bit different from their early EPs and two of the band quit a few years ago and the newer stuff from the duo is slightly different again. I’d just listen to a smattering of stuff on YouTube or whatever and see what and how much of it you like.
