The UK has passed a new law. All poultry and captive bird keepers will be required to register their birds from Oct 1, the Government has said. Under previous rules, only flocks of 50 or more birds would have to be registered with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Now you have to register your backyard chickens even if you only have one or two.
This is because the UK has now decided that chickens are dangerous and need a close eye kept on them, because they might develop Bird Flu and spread the infection throughout the known Universe, or at least, Great Britain.
Considering the very short lives of most chickens, between going into the soup pot, being barbecued or eaten by a fox or other predator, this is going to keep the Office of The Registrar Of Chickens pretty busy.
Now, I have some Questions: First, do you count your chickens before they hatch or afterward? Will chickens be required to wear electronic ankle bracelets to keep track of their whereabouts? Since so many chickens look alike, how do you prevent Chicken Identity Theft? Won’t this enable an illegal trade in Unregistered Chickens? A Unregistered Chicken Black Market? A lot of people won’t want to register their chickens, for fear the government will confiscate all chickens regardless of caliber. Long chickens, hand-held chickens, semi-automatic chickens, once registered the government knows where they are, until they get eaten, of course. So how do you UN-register chickens that have passed away?
And when there’s a food shortage, and there will be because of all the farms being shut down and all the hungry migrants coming in, the government will know where all those backyard chickens are, and will confiscate them for the National Good.
The fucking Brits are geniuses at messing up their own lives and we aren’t far behind them with our own asinine rules and regulations.

FREE SPEECH BATTLE IN BRAZIL
Cartoon published 04/10/2024
A free speech battle is brewing in Brazil between Elon Musk and Alexandre de Moraes, a censorship loving supreme court justice who has his eye on Musk’s platform, X. De Moraes doesn’t like certain big accounts on X and wants Musk to censor them.
Musk replied with a hearty, “Go F Yourself.”
“We continued to receive these demands from Judge Alexandre to suspend the accounts of parliamentarians and main journalists. We couldn’t tell them that this was at Alexandre’s command, we had to pretend it was due to our rules”
一 Elon Musk
Brazil is now threatening prison time for X employees located in Brazil. The tyrants are being exposed, both in Brazil and in America. They must be exposed and the truth must be told.
“Coming shortly, will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law.
This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached.”
–Elon Musk
Will Brazil suspend contracts with Musk’s Starlink satellite company? Meanwhile, we want to extend our thanks to Elon Musk for standing up for free speech—not only here in the US, but in other countries around the world.
This is a developing story…
ELON MUSK VS. ALEXANDRE DE MORAES
TWITTER / X / Social Media VS. Brazil’s Supreme Court
Freedom of Speech / Conservatives VS. Socialist Government
That’s the MAIN HIGHLIGHTS on all Brazilian Political Media this week
Sir, please, tell us your analysis about this trouble.
I don’t think this needs to be analyzed by me or anyone. Good for Elon for telling the corrupt, nutty judge to shove it, though. It’s hard to find people who put their principles above their profit.
Brazil isn’t exactly a major income source for Musk, anyway. He provides needed services. If they shut him out, it’s only themselves they’re hurting.
