Hi Reddit! I'm Annika Bizon, VP of Product and Marketing for Mobile Experience at Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland, and I'm back for another AMA.

I really do believe that if we are to live in a remotely decent society, the socio-economic system that produces UK op/ed columns must be destroyed, down to the root, and every last person at its core provided make-work jobs writing about their fantasies that are then promptly shredded, at base pay

Sometimes heroism appears from the most unexpected quarters and makes for the most unexpected bonds, as thick as blood, between the most unlikely groups. Most Jewish people in Britain would not in a million years have anticipated that their man of the moment - and actually, man of the decade - would be the queer, pro-trans, Bowie-inspired pop star George Alan O'Dowd, known as Boy George.
Yet in our darkest hour, it is the name of Boy George which, like a talisman, starts so many of our conversations. We are so deeply sickened by the hellfire of lethal lies about the Jewish state - a hellfire seemingly being encouraged by a Prime Minister whose first major foreign policy statement in office was to vow to put more pressure on the Israeli government - that we are literally gasping for a friend.
By this, we mean someone who, against all the odds, gets it, and gets the depth of the insult and danger to Jews of all those lies. Who intuits the parallels with previous pogroms. Someone who, despite overwhelming pressure to believe the libels and the vicious falsehoods and false narratives about Israel (genocide, famine, IDF zest for slaughtering children and hospital patients, raping prisoners with dogs, settler-colonialism, apartheid), who, despite the profound moral sickness of almost every single one of his industry and...

There is no world in which you win from the position of -Unionist but pro-Indyref 2 -Corbynite on the economy -Rowlingite on LGBT+ rights Congratulations, you have managed to annoy *everyone* in Scotland

Reading this, and thinking about the 2026 election where activists boycotted campaigning for Scottish Labour and LGBT+ voters held with SNP on the constituency and Greens on the list, wondering what on earth the theory of victory is from left-wing transphobes www.heraldscotland.com/news/2642848...

I think what's happened here is the press immediately recognised the obvious truth of what Hannah Spencer said but their idea of fairness/compromise is to still go in two footed on her, a vile 'leftie', and then circle back and pick up her points a few months on without acknowledging they were hers

That's weird, because a whole discourse happened where we were all told drinking was super normal and anyone asking questions was a gross communist who didn't understand? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Sad news from Italy as Franco Baresi has passed away this morning at 66 years old. An absolute legend of the game with AC Milan and Italy, marking an era for different generations. Thoughts and prayers with the family and the friends. Rest in peace, Franco. ❤️🕊️

'Boy George has used AI to create a pro-IDF reggae song' is information I have been presented with on too many occasions today. What do Bucks Fizz think about Ukraine? Does Shakin' Stevens have a take on the Strait of Hormuz?
