Yup, this hits hard. I do blame many factors about my childhood for the way I am today; writing my book kinda made me realise that. It's all stuff I still struggle to unpack to this day.

That is interesting. Someone writing for an organ of the establishment media is finally getting. A little late though.

There’s no such thing as expats they’re foreigners and immigrants.

Expat is a cute word white people use when they live in another country to where they are from.

Is it too much to ask for novel & genuine scholarship/reportage, instead of plagiarism? And this was a problem before LLMs. They just threw fuel on fire.

What will it take for those in power to recognize that human life should be treated as sacred?

How have we advanced so far as a species, and yet this basic concept still eludes us?

It's honestly fucking ridiculous.

It bothers me that there’s still folks out there that are like β€œyeah I’m on bluesky but I’m still mostly on Twitter.” Fucking give up that follower high score number, that’s the only reason you’re there.

LRT: i want to just point out how society is just so okay with violence and gore(apart from the video game cause violence panic) but god forbid you do anything that shows a boob or any sort of sex in literally anything.

I'm afraid I may have to withdraw my event application for ConFuzzled. Mentally I'm just not feeling able to puzzle out how to make such a thing work. :(

Why are more GPs opting to work outside the NHS?

Why are more GPs opting to work outside the NHS?

Easy: Either because private healthcare is more lucrative, especially private contracts for the NHS, or because they're fed up of being ground down from repeatedly ordered to offer more and more with miniscule funding passed to them burning them out.

"Ya see kids; it's like this. There are people on this planet who have been allowed to accrue FAR too much money & power. This cooks their brains and leads them to do things like cannibalise babies. But reigning them in means confronting the capitalist system..so I'm afraid it it just a fact of life

I'd like toadd that in a general election (or elections for MPs) this is basically already the fucking case

Only British citizens, Irish citizens and Commonwealth citizens can vote in them

The most talented team making stuff on YT. Rebranding because the algorithm isn't fond of queer stuff. I hope the new name is punished a little less. Please sub and check out the videos, they're a treasure trove of cinema love.

Oh John Cleese has been an arsehole has he? The John Cleese that had a show on GB News and has been spouting gibberish about "woke" for the last decade has been a prick has he? Well I'm stunned.

Why is it always the ones you most suspect?

They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity.

It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.
