A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

I concur with those people who think it is valid to ask why Michael Tracey is keen to silence potential victims of rape. I think it is weird that Michael Tracey, who doesn't know what actually happened, all the same wants to take measures to intimidate a woman claiming she was raped into silence.

"Risks" reopening Brexit debate by not even proposing Rejoin, just discussing the bare existence of the EU. The media - the journalists therein with their own names and personal decisions to accommodate the far right - need to ask themselves why they are an example of parasitism and not symbiosis.

I think this is a great example of how anglo white-vanity is ruining the precious inheritance of the post war period. America IS diverse. At the same time, half the US electorate voted for a President to carry out policies far more racist that anything acceptable in Japan, Poland, or South Africa.

One of the reasons why it matters if something is AI is that we as humans appreciate effort. A video that purportedly involved hundreds of people including a difficulty stunt is objectively worth more if it was made by real people. Although this other example wasn't created with AI in mind,...

"Curtailed" is a fancy way of saying "thrown away". As Younity suggests, there are things that can be done to mitigate this problem (which is that wind turbines peak and trough at the same time, as do solar panels). But it is a genuine challenge that too many allegedly "green" people ignore.

Am I weird for finding large solar farms unattractive compared to wind farms? I ask because there are lots of people coo-ing over the conversion of golf course to solar farms. It reminds me of the sterile look of English monoagricultural rolling fields.

This sketch is interesting in showing the technique that Mel Smith innovated of playing comedy dead straight. And also how Griff Rhys Jones, despite being a close comedy partner, struggled with it, always tempted to mug to the camera.

Even the GB News presenter is thrown by his guest's suggestion that all asylum seekers be castrated. This is what happens when the narrative marches ever rightwards. It drifts out of everyone's control and requires individuals involved to suddenly realise 'no wait, f***, that's mad'.

There is NO evidence that asylum seekers pose a particular risk to women. There is NO data showing they are any more dangerous than any other man. And no, memes and random highly manipulated graphs on social media don't count! Every time a claim surfaces suggesting otherwise, it is debunked🤷‍♀️

Constantly reminded on this website on the other reason why I don’t comment much on Israel/Palestine. The main reason is I don’t know enough and don’t have enough bandwidth spare to learn and be sure of my facts. But the other one is the constant presence of racist fucks putatively on my side.
