Leaving the UK with a heavy heart
Today, as a family, we have booked our flights and our one-way ticket out of the UK. This has not felt like a choice. This feels like fleeing to protect ourselves. For the past 7 years we have look…

The funny thing is that I would hazard a guess that roughly 100% of the people in prison for social media posts, which is probably single figures of people, are all people whose politics Elon Musk would hate.

It's bollocks based on someone who lives in the south-east of England's lazy sterotypes, as usual. E.g. Gails started in south west London and has most of it's branches around there i.e. prime 2024 LD territory. And yeah, I don't think I've ever lived anywhere with a discernible high street

1/🧵 From the agenda for next week’s meeting at NHS Wales. But we can assume the arbitrary decision to “pause” referrals was made on a summary of the same information. And, after a month, there is still nothing of substance that can be presented. Sorry, but people should lose their job for this.

I do agree with you but the same applies to a car, except that they've got a numberplate and might get a fine for it. Don't get me wrong I'm not a "bikes must have number plates" twat but I think you've either got rules or you haven't. It's not really the specific situation that bothers people is it

There's a hell of a lot of problems in society where a significant cause is that people are fearful of enacting consequences for wrongdoing because the wrongdoers will lie about what they're being punished for. The solution isn't to not punish them, it's to be loud & clear about what they did wrong

jon ronson has written a book about men who go crazy online and he's dedicated an entire chapter to graham linehan. graham is not going to like the observer review.
Ronson’s account of Graham Linehan is another harrowing tale of a man’s life ruined by the internet. Linehan was a beloved comedy writer, co-creator of Father Ted, and a prolific presence on Twitter, where he was well liked and respected. Then, in 2013, something began to shift, when an episode of his sitcom The IT Crowd, first broadcast in 2008, was repeated. In it, a man discovers his girlfriend is transgender and a brawl breaks out between the two. Viewers did not like the display of violence nor the supposed implication that the trans woman was “really” a man, underlying maleness bursting forth uncontrollably once she is angry.

Linehan responded to criticism with polite bafflement, then defensiveness, and finally overt anger. He began to research transgender issues and developed a singular obsession with the topic, which has since gone on to comprehensively destroy his career and personal life. Linehan, who believes trans activism and indeed ordinary trans existence pose an existential threat to women, talks of little else (except, these days, a fervent pro-Israel stance). He tweets near-constantly, cloaking his obsession with supposed concern for the wellbeing of cisgender women, but he does not balk at aggressively insulting those women who disagree with him.Linehan’s self-ignited ruin stopped being satisfying for even his opponents to watch a while back, and now is only profoundly depressing. Ronson was once a good friend, but in refusing to endorse Linehan’s beliefs about transgender issues, he was added to his long list of his enemies. In The Castle, Ronson speaks to him directly, having been attacked countless times on Linehan’s social media feed. One thing that becomes clear, beyond the truly abject state of Linehan’s wellbeing, is that he is able to persevere with his campaign because he has convinced himself he is battling the greatest danger currently at play in the world. At one point he suggests that there are so many fewer serial killers nowadays because all the sociopaths have migrated to the internet in order to argue with him about trans issues instead. It reminded me of religious protesters screaming at me in Dublin once, as I walked into a reproductive-rights clinic that provided information about abortion. I was furious, but then forced myself to think about how I would feel or act if I truly, earnestly believed that every abortion is equivalent to the murder of a child. That might, indeed, drive me mad.

The Linehan chapter is brilliant: insightful, candid and moving. I’m still not convinced that any broader crisis of masculinity or male purpose had much to do with Linehan’s downfall, though. He wasn’t at a loss or empty of purpose when he began his campaign. He didn’t turn to vitriol because he didn’t have anything else to do. His case is, if anything, notable for involving a man with an enviable life and abundant success throwing it away for reasons that to many in the outside world may seem obscure or deranged.

I genuinely would like a facility where you can basically tag other vehicles such that so that your own car/bike/whatever could recognise them next time you see them and flag whether they were good or bad, so you can decide whether to let them out of a sideroad etc

On my way home today I turned onto a small section of dual carriageway which has a 30 limit, but everyone does about 40. Its only short so I was in the middle lane to go straight on at the roundabout and a woman in a mercedes electric SUV flies past me on the left at about 70. Case in point.

I think the EO targeted Title IX and thus anything with federal funding so I don't know if that would impact the WNBA or not, although I'd assume not. But yes, indirectly it does which is why they're not going to have an actual serious case to deal with for at least a decade you'd think
