Gladstone would have one of those vlogs where he interviews OF girls who have become tradwives.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Sadly there's no contradiction between Labour both claiming mental illness is overdiagnosed and declaring all their opponents as mentally ill.

They believe there's lots of mentall illness about but that it is a personal failing and those afflicted should suffer, not be helped.

Don't mind me, just plugging this pressure valve shut. Think of all that expensive pressure we're wasting!

We recently got a letter telling us that we could put paper in with the cardboard recycling.
Glad you've finally caught up with my thinking, local council 😎

Imagine if it was indisputably shown that a larger and larger number of people met the previously established criteria for mental health problems requiring care & time off work. Surely the only possible response would be to change the diagnostic criteria so most of them didn't count as sick anymore?

I don’t care if Reform calls me a bad word on WhatsApp. But the story behind its gaffe is far more worrying | Will Hayward The leaked exchange shows how much the party dislikes scrutiny – which reveals a lot about its approach to governing, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

My piece for The Guardian about why I am far more concerned about Reform's aversion to scrutiny than I am about them calling me a c***.

Hi @labourlist.bsky.social ! How do I go about proving that I'm a biological female for this? Obviously showing my genitals at the gate is wildly inappropriate because of the availability of gender confirmation surgery. Will you have genome testing available?

“But incurring massive debt to buy me means we shall both surely go under”, said Warner Bros.

This is the vision of the future TERFS want

Btw the delivery rider immigration ”crackdown“ and that tacky Co-Op robot are two parts of the same effort: keeping delivery workers scared and compliant

There are lots of other ways to address the very real harms that kids experience online:

✅ Strict privacy laws that make it illegal to harvest data and use it to recommend content

✅ Antitrust laws so we have real choices for where to go online

✅ Regulate features like autoplay & infinite scroll

I suspect the real reason Nigel Farage is getting so rattled by the racism allegations is that:

1) He knows he said all these things so can't properly deny them
2) He knows that he carried on saying them well into adulthood

Thinking of the student Mary Young who 106 years ago today 'said "shan't" under [her] breath when told to repeat poor work'.

Huh, so *that's* what they're pouring in the adverts.

The genomes of ancient cats from archaeological sites across Europe and Anatolia (circles in the map) revealed that domestic cats were introduced to Europe from North Africa starting at 2,000 years ago, several millennia after the onset of the Neolithic in Europe; African wildcats in Sardinia originate from a distinct wildcat population in Northwest Africa

Domestic cats 🐈‍⬛ are most genetically similar to African wildcats, but the (modern) domestic cats probably weren't introduced into Europe until the 1st century CE, which is rather late, all things considered. 🧪

Saw your boyfriend on the train and immediately texted the British Transport Police on 61016 to report something that doesn’t look right

My assumption was that fae and faery are archaising spellings to make it sound more serious, like Crowley's use of magick.

George Box was right. Unfortunately the definition of "useful" in this case will be boiled down to "profitable".
