the vowels are different etc, but the tweet sets it up like it's supposed to sound a li'l bit like "tossed salad and scrambled eggs", which is part of the frasier theme tune.

the article feels like whataboutery in itself, imo. gchq's main thing is mass surveillance of uk citizens. if they didn't steal & store people's data, then that stolen data wouldn't be stored in one convenient central location from which to steal it 🤷

edit: i do get that it's not great that this has happened, of course. i just don't think surveillance should be seen as inevitable in the first place.

until they have a problem with bringing in digital IDs, and the amount of data being stored by google/meta/amazon/apple/etc, this just feels like sinophobia & xenophobia. stealing & storing our data's bad in general, not just when china or russia want to do it 🤷
