Probably an OK time to say that the Worst Witch (lead role played by a nonbinary actor) was always miles better than Harry Potter in the old supernatural boarding school genre

What the fuck? Either send a 5 word text and get back to hurrying to get there or, if you missed the bus or something and want to spend the wait sending something cute to your wife, compose the joke yourself and get the benefit of interacting with the human you supposedly love.

I'm just going to say it: Italians need to loosen up about food. All dishes evolve over time. What we now consider lasagne bears almost no resemblance to the original dish invented in the middle ages. Same with pizza - it's debatable whether that even originated in Italy.

Rowling is deranged. This level of constant hate and paranoia when she could do so much more with her life and money is not normal.

Just today I asked a male (!!!!!!) shop assistant in Boots about maternity pads. This level of proposed segregation by sex is truly Victorian in its morality and moral panic.

JK Rowling will not rest until she has eliminated trans people from the public sphere. I get furious when I remember pseudo-liberals insisting to me that she wasn’t a bigot and had been terribly defamed. Presumably they’ve got the message by now

I think it really should be emphasised that what happened here is a tall woman approached a 14 year old to ask if she needed help, and the mother, not the girl, freaked out and is now calling for a ban on trans people being allowed to work with kids.

One of my many issues with the Hundred is i look at the teams and they're no better than some of the Blast line ups.

I think we are at the point where X which claims to be the largest source of news in the UK should have its licence removed. It is absolutely unacceptable and grok is the irresponsible work of an egotistical madman

Britain is still exporting arms to Israel whose military operations in Gaza amount to, amongst other things, a vast campaign of state terror.

If British ministers really opposed terrorism they would cease acting as Israel's accomplicies.

I'm in this, trying to make sense of the chaos at Morecambe and Sheff Weds and making some downbeat, pre-signings-splurge assessments of #lofc's prospects this season. Despite all this, you should buy it. Now.

Newcastle fans should be furious at club's owners over Alexander Isak saga This is not how elite football clubs operate

Newcastle United's owners have funded the club's rivals and left a gaping power vacuum at St James' Park. This has been a dreadful summer that reiterates the sporting immorality of state ownership.

As a caseworker this sort of thing makes me deeply uncomfortable. Not just because it would increase job insecurity but when a constituent takes the step to reach out to their elected rep it is usually their last resort at trying to find a solution to particularly harrowing situations.
