Staggers me that Cornwall saw the consequences of backing Brexit yet still thinks Farage is the answer. Deluded

I always knew the US Constitution was bullshit when ppl used it as an excuse to hoard guns rather than keep children safe

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

I've had two debates in the UK today, one in defence of trans rights and the other in defence of trans rights. I'm a white cis man who just wants people to be accepted, accept actual facts, and not hate

Yeah, people are really missing the point. Which is, ironically, the point you were making

Social media policing (or lack of) isn't fit for a modern democracy either. It works both ways

The discourse around tariffs has been β€œthings will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

Why is it - that when the fiscal wheels come off - be it The Credit Crunch, The Global Financial Crash, Pandemic, or Trumpnomics...

The first idea they run to is to cunt off the environmental policies that *should* be the HIGHEST priority for fucking survival.

To them a shocking past could just be that you once did something vaguely unselfish or admitted you're not too sure colonialism was quite the ticket. It's a low bar
