It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

So much of the collective English psyche is constipatedly stuck in the 1990s; would an England World Cup victory intensify that, or would it be some kind of karmic release, finally allowing us all to move on?

Given trans people are less than 1% of the population, getting it wrong 4% of the time means you are 4x as likely to misgender a cis woman than spot someone is trans. This is without accounting for the effects of hormones, surgery etc. Absolute madness from the EHRC chair. A "human rights" body.

I'm not sure "hey, we're not just banning trans people from toilets, we're also banning them from vital support after they've been sexually assaulted or raped" is exactly the flex The Guardian seem to think it is. Fucking vile humans.

The new EHRC ruling isn't just about trans people's access to toilets - it's about protecting other vital single-sex spaces

From the start, feminists have fought for spaces that are less visible but which have special status: prisons, refuges, rape crisis centres, lesbian groups, women's health centres and sports

This is a really interesting article about someone who I previously knew nothing about. The fact that he was one of the very few people to be acquitted of High Treason is remarkable but passes merely as an aside. I thought this conclusion is also interesting.
Many accusations once made to Catholics are now directed, in altered form, at Muslims: loyalty to foreign authorities, resistance to integration, excessive religiosity, hostility to liberal values, assertive public piety and fears of parallel legal or political systems. The resemblance is not exact, but it is recognisable.

The legacy of anti-Catholicism also helps explain why Britain historically produced lower levels of antisemitism than much of continental Europe. The deepest sectarian anxieties of British society were focused elsewhere. For centuries, the principal religious opponent was not the Jew, but the Catholic. Lord George Gordon’s improbable life is a reminder of just how deeply that older sectarian world once shaped British politics, and how far its shadow still stretches.

Okay fine, but, I mean, not to try and defend anything here but they didn't build an actual railway around the moon, did they? It's cheaper to fly six people to Rome & back than it is to build a platform that'll keep one person ten feet above the ground. Because they're not the same thing, are they?
Headline saying HS2 will cost more than a moon mission because they're the same thing, apparently.
