Mentioned to a British colleague it's my birthday and she asked me why I am working. Asked a Finnish friend if she'd take the day off work for her birthday and she asked me "why, I have one of those every year?" It's not about work ethic, it's about how much more birthdays carry value for Britons

Had my car serviced and MOTd, then drove it and nearly got into a massive pickle because the clowns hadn’t put the lid on the coolant. Lucky it was a short drive as this could’ve been very bad.

This is why the media in this country needs regulating. I can guarantee there isn’t an iota of truth to anything that’s being said here. Their only intention is to keep this nonsense on top of the news agenda.

People throw around "pseudoscience" too easily. But I do think Cofnas’s “race realism” deserves to be called such. And: pseudoscience is not protected by academic freedom. It's our duty to be maximally liberal in academia. But it's also our duty to draw the line somewhere. We should draw it here.

Burnham knew this would be the result of dropping his pledge to cap political donations, but he did it anyway. Labour are determined to midwife a Reform government, like plenty of other centrist parties before them whose weakness paved the way for right wing extremists.

I do not understand why some people use AI to interact with people on social media. Pretty clearly getting some AI generated responses to academic papers I am sharing on another account from one guy. Just why? He doesn't seem to be a bot otherwise. Is this "modern fedora man" behaviour?

In light of these new allegations about illegal funding, it is my opinion that Nigel Farage should step down as MP for Clacton. He should then stand again in the by-election and let the people of Clacton decide if he’s guilty or not of breaking electoral law. 😉

This cat spends most his days trying to sneak into my house. He starts off by watching me, waiting for me to get distracted, then tries the “one paw at a time” approach and often I don’t notice. Then he eats my cat’s food and his mum posts on social media that someone is feeding their cat again.

Taking PIP away not only makes life harder financially for disabled people, it also means these people will be less able to manage their disability and invest in their wellbeing. It will make people more sick.

They would do this by abolishing disability benefit and PIP and having a new benefit only for the most "severe" cases. Jenrick uses the "suicidal empathy" phrase in his quote.

To put it another way Binface won the same % that the (very good) Britain Predicts model thought all the other main parties collectively would have got had they stood. So we can assume that had they stood Farage would have done far worse than expected based on polling/demographics.
