When Mayor Mamdani was in the Democratic primary, I ranked him second (behind Brad Lander). I had moved from NYC before the general election, but I vociferously supported Mamdani over Cuomo. Many Jewish friends asked how I could “support an anti-Semite”. I responded, “I wouldn’t and I’m not”.

“Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours.” IT IS THEIR SHAME, NOT YOURS.
kbarton1001

On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly “Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap.” There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly “next time I pick it up with my fork.” Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously “Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours.”

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

The base is used by the US for heavy bombers to attack Iran, thanks to a decision by Starmer earlier this year. This attack was thwarted by sheer chance. Not intelligence or surveillance, not by the UK or US authorities. A local farmer. Boggling incompetence. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

I was coming home late from a party. On reaching our farm, I found both the driveway and the road blocked by three white vans… We had noticed some activity from what I assumed were plain-clothed police officers for the previous few days, so initially I thought perhaps this was more of the same.

I had no choice but to turn my vehicle around and return back the way I came. On driving a short distance from the vans, I saw a large group of hooded and masked men. When they saw me, they ran ahead of me, some into the field and some towards the neighbouring village of Kempsford.

I then realised that something highly unusual was taking place. In light of my awareness of a security threat to the base, I immediately called the MoD (Ministry of Defence) police, the phone rang out and they didn’t answer.

At 1.36am I called 999 to report what I had seen. Within 10 minutes, the village was full of armed police. I think it was pure luck that I arrived in the village at a similar time to the vans.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."
