Not really. You would just have to be able to provide me with the details of a small independent burger restaurant that allows people to eat for free. That seems comparable.

Guess you missed the words “burger chain” in the question…

For this analogy to work there must be some other burger chain that doesn’t charge for their food. Could you let me know which those are, please?

Britain is like this because our national politics is a shrivelled husk of democracy: a country where the world’s most poisonous media outlets fill a great gaping void empty of actual politics with relentless fear, incitement and hatred.

Feel like if I was Noni Madueke I’d be a bit sad at that reaction from my manager. Goal of the season contender and he barely looks up from having a chat.

I’m not clear why - if it was outside the box - Thiaw didn’t get a red card.

Tip for Jamie Carragher. Any apology which goes “I apologise, but…” isn’t an apology.

You know the intense parasocial relationships people have with podcasters? Well, hear me out, what if we replaced the podcasters with robots

Day time drinking should be normalised. Who the fuck wants to go out at 8 and stay up till 3am getting pissed. Start at 12 be shitfaced by 7, kebab, hit the sack at 8 and then you've not wasted the entire following day with a hangover in bed. anon_opin GOLD from 12th July 2023

I'd pay good money just to see her argument for these biscuits being "biologically male"

Posted without comment.

I might be alone in this but I’m not in the slightest surprised that Salah has come out with this interview. If he believes that he has an axe to grind, he’s never been shy of grinding the fucking thing in public.

Nobody should be surprised he’d go nuclear 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t think less of him, though.

Have you see the article from FourFourTwo? They suggest that that’s a misquotation and that said “I earn it” (present tense).

Liverpool fans have an obligation to defend scapegoated Mohamed Salah after the forward's treatment There is no doubt Mohamed Salah has been scapegoated by Liverpool and his manager this season

“if fans accept what could prove to be the hounding of a legend of Salah’s calibre out of their club, it might be time to assess their own belief in the validity of their ethos, and whether they really do prevent their players from walking alone”

Again I am remined that Children of Men is set in 2027.

Typing "Sandie Peggie" into Google will give an array of news orgs proclaiming her victory. They seemingly don't care that she mostly lost, the magic of the journo class is such that they can simply will another reality into being.

It's very telling how "trans people" became "Trans activists" and now they're knocking at the next door "People with ADHD" have become "ADHD activists".

My apologies if I’m reading this totally wrong, but I like you’re trying to make a point here, Dan and it would probably make the conversation run smoother if you just stated outright what it is.

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

American Men Are Flocking To Get Breast Reduction Surgery—And Everyone's Making The Same Powerful Point

Spot on.

It's only been five years, but it's amazing how quickly we've forgotten that the people who really affect ours lives positively are medics, farmers, shop workers, etc, and not entrepreneurs, billionaires, etc

Screenshot of a Google News “Top stories” cluster about Sandie Peggie’s NHS tribunal case, showing headlines from BBC, Sky News, The Guardian and The Herald, all reporting findings that she was harassed by NHS Fife in a trans changing room dispute.

HR slip ups are 10-a-penny, it’s just most people don’t have the time or resources to go to tribunal about it

(i) The Supreme Court decision 789. The question that arises from that conclusion is whether the application of the Supreme Court decision must mean that, under the provisions over which this Tribunal has jurisdiction under the 2010 Act as to work, the second respondent as a biological male required to be excluded from the female changing room, such that the permission given by the first respondent to do so was necessarily unlawful under those provisions. We have concluded that the answer is in the negative.

This is the key paragraph in the Sandie Peggie decision.

I find the xT charts provided by @markstatsbot.bsky.social a really useful way of checking my reflection on a game. These are the charts from Liverpool’s “disastrous” game at City and their “much improved” game at Leeds.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.

She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...
