It's a multi-stage process. First, only creepy weirdos ever really want to be in charge. Second, the fact of their creepy weirdness supplies plenty of blackmail material to control their "decisions".

A dark time, thank God it was only temporary. Oh wait...
President Bush signs into law the Patriot Act, giving the United States government sweeping powers to spy on private citizens.

"Harassment, alarm or distress"? You can cause alarm or distress in people by stating reasonable opinions, or even factual statements. This is a nonsense law, hiding censorship and wrong think behind some vague idea of "niceness" Like that Simpson's Tree House of Horror, with the dystopian future ruled by Ned Flanders.
🚨 NEW: Respect Orders are now live across England and Wales People who cause harassment, alarm or distress to others can receive bans from town centres, anger management courses or unlimited fines Anyone who breaches an Order can be arrested and jailed for up to 2 years

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners. Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads. Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was. Got a root shell. then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems. This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.
i own a relatively new (2025) samsung tv. i kept getting weirdly targeted ads. i tried reversing the firmware but it was aes encrypted and no keys unless tear it apart and do uart/jtag magic. zero days it is. root shell on new samsung TVs! discovered PRIVACY HORROR. write up?

Just so you know, none of this is off the cuff. There were discussions about what clothes to wear. There were discussions about what drinks and snacks should be on the table, and the order/manner in which they should be eaten. There were definitely discussions about what TV to watch. This is the cringiest PR exercise ever, and it took prep time to get that embarrassing.

So why is that peat domes across 2m hectares of Borneo’s rainforests ablaze, at immense cost to people and animals, many endangered or vulnerable, and media aren’t carrying a word on it? I know the absurdity of net zero has created insane incentives to replace virgin rainforest with oil palms, but wouldn’t you think this would raise some alarm, even among that twisted species of people who think that doing some of this is good for the planet?

Should I panic buy lots of items so that Supermarket profits get a boost, which when combined with Black Friday and Christmas spending artificially inflates GDP in early 2027 thereby enabling the government and BBC News to announce "Good News on Growth" just as Fuel Bills go up?
