This is a very odd chocolate making process. Are you sure you haven’t confused it with wine making?

Apparently gay children are being told that they must be trans.

This assertion is hot garbage.

So yeah, people goof.

But what's not a goof: Claude is not your therapist. Is not a therapist at all. Is not bound by HIPAA. Please do not tell Claude your business.

Damn it. Depressive episode.

It drains so much energy that I feel like I can barely do anything.

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

Ban will stay in place until government decides on appeal
Judges Victoria Sharp, Jonathan Swift and Karen Steyn said the ban will remain in place while the government considers whether to appeal.

I share this only to help those contemplating whether to tweet "I support Palestine Action".

Correct. When it comes to these beliefs there is nothing new under the sun.

Until and unless the High Court makes an Order quashing the prescription, the law today and tomorrow is the same as the law yesterday.

Nothing at law has (yet) changed.

Obviously good news, but also remarkable how even aside from the moral issue, this was so stupid and bungled by the Starmer gov

So not too different from the Nazi leaders.

I’m serious.

Hi πŸ‘‹ one former "gifted" kid to anyone who needs to hear this

One of the best gifts you can give yourself is permission to do and enjoy things even if you're not great at them.

Looking around DC which fell out the national narrative for being occupied but still is. Confirmed.

Starmerites need a lot better arguments than β€œbut Reform” and β€œbut right-wing media”

I’m aware this is one person’s experience, but I’ve never seen Spanish in work and I’ve seen French multiple times.

Since I am the only French speaker in my department, such work inevitably comes to me.

Threatening to cut funding to someone because they disagree is a *real* threat to academic freedom of the kind frequently seen under fascist and authoritarian regimes.

This is also confected bullshit. There is no obligation whatsoever for a society or institution to invite a speaker.

Many hugs if you want them.

(And I’m autistic. An autistic offering hugs is rare.)

Haidt. Haidt takes the lead by an absurd margin out of those three.

I had to read all three for my PhD. It’s Haidt.

The biggest puzzle for me about Heated Rivalry, which I cannot decide upon, is:

Does Scott Hunter know about Shane and Ilya?

(Also I’ve decided that Kip is a total sweetheart and we must protect him from any harm at all costs.)

I am also puzzled. Streeting seems like the least likely to win a general election as Starmer’s successor.
