It'll never happen because life is fundamentally unfair but if Trump was facing prison tomorrow, just imagine how quickly his doctors would be falling over each to testify that his declining mental capacity would make incarceration unsuitable.

Voyager, agree. Though DS9, especially the ramped up version in later series is terrific too. And, of course, Those Old Scientists!

The Chief Rabbi can’t have it both ways: he can’t both condemn those conflating UK Jews with Israel, and then do it himself by claiming UK policy towards Israel will harm UK Jews. Either UK Jews are distinct from Israel, or they’re not. Which is it, Rabbi? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"for all the people “celebrating” this as a win “against” Meta, you’ve been fooled. Meta just cut a deal to put itself in charge of how social media works going forward. this is Meta taking a “please regulate me Daddy” approach to the government, & getting exactly what it really has been asking for"

Not only do I think he's lying that police advised him not to attend on safety grounds, I think it's a lie he used before back in 2016. He 'cancelled' a march on safety grounds but my FOI request to the Met showed this was a lie.
Farage pretended to cancel a march back in 2016 that he had no intention of organising.FOI request showing Farage never submitted a 3175 form informing police of a demonstration and had no safety discussions with police.FOI request showing police did not advise Farage to cancel his 2016 march, contrary to what he told the press.

Why do you keep calling Elon Musk “a sad little bitch with no friends”?

Great question! (1) He is sad, (2) he is a bitch, and (3) he has no friends.

Did Elon Musk spend his 47th birthday alone, with no friends?

Yes.

Did Elon Musk beg Jeffrey Epstein for an invitation to his island, but get rejected?

Yes.

You’re saying that even the world’s most infamous pedophile didn’t want to be Elon Musk’s friend?

Yes.

This is unironically - and astonishingly almost verbatim - Gul Dukat's genocidal rant against the Bajorans in the Deep Space Nine episode "Waltz."
There is a persistent idea in certain circles that if Israel improved living conditions for Palestinians – more jobs, better infrastructure, freer movement, greater economic opportunity – the violence would fade.

Treat them kindly, the argument goes, and they will eventually come around to peace. A heavy hand, by contrast, only breeds resentment and fuels more attacks. This sounds compassionate on the surface, but it is also deeply flawed, and the evidence against it has piled up for generations.

So the official recommendation is for small businesses to replace male and female single lockable toilets with gender neutral single lockable toilets, thereby protecting women from the risk of being in a women's toilet on their own.

I do worry the cult of the NHS has gone too far: covid messaging was "protect the NHS" not "protect your neighbour", now social care pitch rolling is "protect the NHS", not "you and your loved ones deserve peace of mind over the end of your lives".
