So painful watching an entire generation discover
'TW_are_W' was the perfect aspirational slogan & metaphor
No exceptions? Literally? Irrevocably? Always were?
It never really made sense
Unreliable guide to law, sport, biology, feminism..
and an albatross around necks of progressive parties.

You can't take the middle-distance runner out of the man!!
In fact his key concern here - & properly so - is the correct classification of DSD athletes, to avoid any rerun of absurd result in women's 800m at Rio olympics. (the British runner Lynsey Sharp lost out on a medal)

imho, we *should* continue to encourage science, education & arts ties with Isr.
we should also ramp up scholarships for Gazans.
(not just for medical students)
Eurovision '25 entry probably won't fly
(Russia is out for less).
Ideally, 2 entries for 2 states.

2 states is now urgent (Isr blocks 1-S + votes-for-all)
Palestinians are ~50% of population today in historic IL/P.
UK & EU should immediately recognize 2-S on '67 borders.
And talk to all parties (does anyone have lily-clean hands?)
78:22 partition ('67 borders) would be generous to Isr.

Indefensible.
150 killed during ceasefire; >400 dead since IL broke it.
>50,000 killed in just 18 months: Gaza+WB, Leb Syr Yem.
(~30,000 Isr dead in *all* wars & terror since 1917)
Schools homes clinics & embryos methodically destroyed.
Should Irgun have surrendered to Britain in 1947?
Ask him.

A field of red poppies as far as the eye can see on a fresh summer morning. Mist is drifting across the trees and the sky is filled with the colours of sunrise

Over in The Bad Place I’m on day 35 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI.

There’s so many AI generated images of poppies I’ve seen over the last few days that I wanted to share a real poppy field for Remembrance Day ❤️

Happy with my vaccine updates (flu & JN.1 covid) especially for relatives >90, choir etc
JN.1 has *many* new mutations: recent strains quite similar.
RFK Jr aside, it's time to speak up for evidence-based sci./medicine. All of it. And condemn malpractice.
Yes, I mean gnRHa, oxycontin, etc.
