Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone The State of Alabama wants to execute Charles "Sonny" Burton for capital murder. But Sonny never killed anyone. The identity of the shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was never in dispute. However, Alabama ...

Time is running out to save the life of Sonny Burton, an Alabama man who didn’t kill anyone.

Tell Governor Ivey to commute his sentence before his scheduled execution date on March 12.

Despite being cis myself, I agree.

Oh NO! Without my petrol driven car, my dick will drop off, said Jeremy Clarkson anxiously.

I love that idea, but I only wish we could find them. I see watch some witches say in court as immensely creative. Have you read Emma Wilby‘s book on Isabel Gowdie?

Has all the decadent carelessness of an Irish landlord shipping grain overseas with an armed guard to prevent the starving tenants from stealing it.

This is where our global utopia crashes into laser-guided reality Britons will all feel the impact of the war with Iran, not just those who have moved to Dubai expecting peace and security Charlotte Ivers Saturday March 07 2026, 11.00pm GMT, The Sunday Times ＜ Share n 2013, when I was at university, I used to Facebook-_ message friends who were lounging by private pools in Tehran and Tel Aviv while studying abroad. Back home it had become something of a status symbol to teach yourself Russian, largely because the nightlife in Moscow was so good: dark, sexy and glamorous. In the little English pubs we frequented, friends would airily report on what was happening on the Russian social media site VK, or China's WeChat. Life was good, goods were cheap and the world belonged to us. I feel rather uncomfortable thinking of it now. There's something a bit jazz age about the whole thing: gilded youth toasting their own cosmopolitanism and sophistication while the world trundled quietly towards chaos. There were signs, obviously. In 2014 Russia invaded the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine. But, still, the nightlife in Moscow was fantastic.

Whose global Utopia? The news that the party is over and things are going to get especially miserable is IMO going to come as a major surprise for millions of people who did not get invites to the festivities in the first place.

So the Canary have covered this, as have the Daily Mail and the Mirror, and the Manchester Evening News.

The Guardian's search facility has always been atrocious, but as far as I can tell, we're still waiting on something from them...

Trump really blew up a school of little girls in Iran and then he lied about it.

If you’re reading this and you’re scared, that’s understandable. And I can’t tell you that you’ll be able to pass as cis. But just to give you a single data point, I didn’t come out at work until I was 34. You can be alright, and you do have a future. People know what trans people are. It’s fine.

As a cisgender woman using HRT, I stand with you because I see no meaningful difference between our needs.

Philosophy Tube — How To Ban Conversion Therapy A complete history of conversion therapy from 1849-now, when it is STILL legal and STILL happening.

Labour’s healthcare bans are shameful and have already harmed British kids. Wes Streeting’s normalisation of conversion therapy is a stain on the country. Every NHS doctor and admin who went along with this has undermined public confidence in the profession.

I think it was always about the money and the ego for her.

Last week Ash Smith & Peter Hammond joined us to tell Environment Minister Emma Reynolds she must reject Thames Water's rescue bid.

yep, and polling has shown that it's the *middle* class who are more hostile to "socially liberal" politics!

Transgender laird takes to the battlements over tourist lodge The Daily Telegraph9 Mar 2026By Telegraph Reporter Samantha Kane, also known as Lady Carbisdale A TRANSGENDER laird is locked in a planning row with a neighbour over plans for a new holiday let in the Scottish Highlands. Samantha Kane, who became the self-styled Lady Carbisdale after buying Carbisdale Castle near Ardgay in 2022, has objected to neighbour Rupert Haig-thomas’s plans to build a lodge for tourists. Under the proposals, the lodge would include three bedrooms, a kitchen-diner, a snug sitting room, a living room, a boot room, and several bathrooms. But Kane said the plans were not suitable for the area, which is surrounded by ancient forest and is in an area of outstanding beauty. Cardisdale Castle “should be cherished and protected”, Kane said, telling The Telegraph: “I want to preserve it for future generations, I don’t want anything to harm the castle. “It is a complete disregard for the area and history of the land.” In planning documents, Kane said the plans would “devastate the castle”, was “not in keeping with the design” and would “interfere with the aesthetic setting of Carbisdale Castle”. A second objection from Kane’s company, Carbisdale Castle Ltd, added: “The lodge will be adverse to the historic listed building and it will negatively impact the setting and the nature and our business model here at Carbisdale Castle.

You would never know it, but the Editor's Code of Conduct says that someone's status as trans should only be mentioned if relevant to the story.

Anyway, here's the Telegraph today...

Albeit at quite incessantly and paranoically monitored levels.

I’m flattered to be the subject of your sole post.

I’m not convinced that the people who voted for the big orange lump of fascism were confused. I think there is some chance that they wanted what they have.

It's not a productive trend, but with every passing day I think I get more hung up on how massive the contrast was in 2024 and how easy the choice should've been for voters. And I get angrier and angrier about the people who muddied that contrast and the people who chose to vote for *this.*
