EDRI Article: http://ow.ly/VEpH101689Z
Techdirt article: http://ow.ly/gs9b101689XHope this will spread as much as save net neutrality posts
it’s way worse than that law actually, in US they “just” wanted your money, here the EU goverment wants to take our freedom without even giving a choice
SPREAD THIS
I’m just speechless. Dudes, this is wayyyy worse then The Net Neutrality bullshit in the US. Spread this like a wildfire! I don’t wanna lose everything I have thanks to this law!
Oh my gosh why am I only hearing about this now?
Please everyone, spread this! Most of the time we talk about problems that are happening in the US but this time it’s in the EU and we need to stand against it!!Please help if you can it’s going to make so much damage!
Just for an example, both of my blogs will disappear if it isn’t stopped, ao3 will also disappear for european countries just like every website like these ones.So please, help!!
Actually reblogging that one because 1) I checked the original poster and 2) I felt doubt when no french media outlet that wasn’t obviously alt-right dwelved on the subject, so here I go with a list of reasons this post is dead wrong.
1) made by a self-proclaimed fascist with a blog called “Think-critically” whose blog is full of racist, transphobic, fascistic, mysoginist content. Allow me to doubt.
2) the guy in the video is a friend of the EDL. You can see another of his videos from 2 days ago where Tommy Robinson, leader of this islamophobic group which is on numerous hate watch list, supports this channel’s messages.
3) EDRI and Techdirt are also websites associated with the alt-right.
4) From everything I’ve gathered about said article 13. It’s actually meant to stop, block and disable fake news campaigns. Like the ones Russia did in France in 2017, the UK during brexit, Italy, Germany, Poland, etc…. It’s a way to also put responsability on websites that host the information (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. All 3 having a pretty tulmutuous relationship with European countries (Read: don’t comply with the law and refuse to pay taxes)) as a deterrent to make sure they’re careful during election season (Which, to their credit, they were during the Irish referendum, blocking foreign media outlets). That means
5) The alt-right just got 30k Tumblr users to sign a petition against blocking Russia’s interference in our elections, dressed it up as a brave struggle for freedom (This will END the internet guys. Trust me on this one. They want to destroy it because….. BAD. Not GOOD.) And y'all not checking your damn sources played right into their hands.
In conclusion: Fuck Putin and fuck the Alt-right, go out and vote, check your sources.

The EU are not going to shut the Internet down omg! You just got trolled by the alt right. The only thing in the UK and Dutch press with regards Internet access is over GDPR - which is a good EU regulation designed to protect consumers. If there’s no news about it, then there’s a reason for that???
The English Defence League (EDL) are such a nasty racist bunch of fuckers, and now many tens of thousands of you have just given them and their fascist, xenophobic cronies at places like InfoWars your support because you didn’t spend 5 fucking minutes Googling the truth behind this post.
They deliberately put shit together that sounds legit. Don’t people think anymore??? Read up on something before you mindlessly hit the reblog button! There’s no excuse to not check something out!
Seriously people please research things yourself when you see them. A very quick google search brings up 1 article from a website I’ve never heard of. If international news sites like, to name a few, BBC and Al Jazeera, aren’t reporting it, it is probably not an issue.
(I know I joked about it earlier but, honestly, please do your own research)
Sorry, I know this is a very unexpected reblob but I just want my European followers to not panic and please please PLEASE check sources and research stuff.
I feel a bit upset at being tricked, but I was in a huge panic about this :(
This is important to see
I fell victim to this, so I just emailed all of the MEPs they had me email in the first place (which were not nearly as many as I actually have, for some reason?) apologizing and reversing my position on deleting article 13. Normally I’m good about checking sources, but clearly there’s always room for improvement.
DID ANY OF YOU READ THE BILL!? Seriouslys its a copyright law!

we are not born to die!! what are you talking about!! do you think a book begins just to finish? do you think a song opens with a beautiful chord just for it to end? you don’t read the book to finish it, you read the book to eat up the excitement and the emotions it evokes!! to learn and to digest and to fall in love and be heartbroken!! you listen to the song to dance and dance and sing your throat raw!!! to cry and smile and swell with the harmonies!! yes, we are born with the inevitable fate of death, we are mortal after all, but that is merely the finale of the play!! the final act, the closing of the curtains - we are not born to take a bow and exit stage left!! we are born to love and be joyous and yell and move and learn and cry and feelfeelfeel!!! we are not born to die, silly, we’re born to live!!!

Periods are canceled for 2018. This year, I don’t want to bleed unless it’s from a wound I earned in honorable combat.

oh my god two words in that just UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
All hope is lost so quickly I can’t stop laughing.
danish tv is the best thing ever
“Okay :(”
He went straight to Acceptance. He didn’t even go through the five stages of grief. He just started at Acceptance.
I can translate for anyone wondering what he’s saying. The dialogue roughly goes something like
“Hopefully the owner of the car behind me will next time consider if-oh shit. Okay.”
thanks for the context omg

Fiona in Jan 2017: “yeah I mean I have heard of James McArdle, and he’s done some serious stage stuff, but yeah he really doesn’t look the part! I think mostly McArdle is too butch for my image of Louis, but he is presumably a good actor so we’ll see!” (x)
Fiona in March 2018: CANNOT BELIEVE JAMES MCARDLE INVENTED ACTING!!!!!! HIS LOUIS IRONSON IS EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!!!!!! MY ONE AND ONLY JIMMY BOY IS A GOD AMONGST MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts on McArdle’s Louis
I figured out one of the reasons James McArdle helped me personally to empathize with Louis in a way I never have been able to before when watching or reading Angels in America!
It’s the opposite of my issue with Jon Groff in A New Brain… b/c Groff’s a naturally sweet, gentle guy, to me his Gordon Schwinn wasn’t as unlikable and hard in the beginning of the show as he needed to be for his character development to be as profound as for Malcolm Gets’ Gordon, who gives off asshole vibes much better
Conversely, McArdle is so intrinsically affable and lovely and sweet, that when he’s playing Louis, saying all of this awful stuff and being a total asshole, his natural charm shines through just enough for me to be able to see Louis as something other than just a totally insufferable bastard. He allowed me to see him maybe more as Prior sees Louis: a totally insufferable bastard who you just can’t help but love in spite of yourself

'I won’t let a bunch of posh boys stop me': Angels In America co-star James McArdle on theatrical class war, the trouble with 'gay plays' and why he owes it all to his Glasgow granny“[Angels in America] sums up an epoch in a way that not many other plays do and I genuinely believe that if there’s still a civilisation in 400 years time, then much in the same way we look at Shakespeare now, if people want to know what it was like in the 20th and 21st century, Angels In America sums up what it means to be alive in this age of capitalism.” - James McArdle
