You were clearly feeling very earnest

approach when it comes to culturally sensitive areas.

It is not uncommon to walk through a city centre and to hear the same individuals preaching negatively about homosexuality over and over again. Is it the fact that they continue to do so that matters?
I certainly think that buffer zones - much like we see with abortion clinics - would be a sensible

To be honest, didn’t read the full thread and still haven’t so I’m absolutely open to making wild accusations here.
Definitely if it becomes targeting harassment then there is an argument to be made to limit speech.
But we have to ask where that line is?

Every year I march in pride parades and we walk past a group of Christian extremists saying that we are evil and going to hell.
They are not arrested, rightly so. Their right to free speech is the same as mine provided that they don’t blur into inciting violence.

Screenshot of BBC news article: Brown says he submitted additional information to police PA MEDIA Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told BBC News he submitted a five-page letter to several UK police forces, including the Metropolitan Police, Sussex Police and Thames Valley Police, providing new and additional information from the Epstein files. It comes in the wake of the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for misconduct in public office, which the BBC understands is in relation to activity during his time as a trade envoy. In a statement, Brown says the new information is in addition to what he submitted to the forces last week, in which he "expressed my concern that we secure justice for trafficked girls and women"

Kind of obsessed with the idea of Ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown spending his spare time as an internet sleuth in the Epstein files

Pigeons are actually a type of dove. They need a better PR manager

Got myself a new type of retinoid and was IDd buying WD40 the other day so I’d say it’s probably pretty good stuff

Honestly! Where are these gays getting the money??

Mummy is on the margs

I understand that anaesthetics remains (just) the majority. Don’t know the makeup of ACCS vs core though.

Police assessing claims about Andrew sharing confidential trade details It comes after files suggest the former prince shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy.

Don’t you get my hopes up don’t you fucking dare

JD Vance getting lip fillers is so fucking funny

Hey now, some of that was also giving anaesthetics

A system in which I can have paid £19,000 over 6.5 years of employment and not reduced my £60,000 loan amount down at all is an absolute fucking scandal.
Truly the behaviour of a loan shark, not a government that purports to give a shit about young people.

Why should state pensions be given the best measure of inflation for recipients while student loan holders are subject to the worst measure of inflation?

I find it absolutely galling to have read over and over about how the state pension triple lock couldn’t conceivably be overturned/debacle over winter fuel payments while there has been as yet zero political commentary about how exploitative student loans have been for a whole generation.

It’s almost like you set me up for proving your point

Something along the lines of “if you think that it might be a no then it’s probably a no”?

I would say that anything I learned around you was in spite of your best efforts

I’m absolutely thrilled for you. What a terrific achievement, I hope you are immensely proud!

Screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation. Me: “We had basically a 20 min corporate induction then half an hour of the sassy college tutor telling us over and over not to drive home after a night shift because he doesn't want to have to explain to bereaved spouses/parents/children” Them: “None of which you have”

Chatting about induction today and don’t mind me while I go find the nearest burn unit

“Figs: at least they aren’t talking about your clinical practice any more”

I really find it inspiring that the single unifying experience amongst all NHS doctors is an immediate and passionate disdain of anyone who turns up in fitted branded scrubs

Not at fucking 22:30 they don’t

Only briefly though

Honestly just take me out back and put a bullet through the base of my skull instead of that hell

Very good news

I bet your favourite biscuit is rich tea

It is a shame. While I don’t feel that Bluesky has managed to replicate the golden days of pre-musk Twitter (or probably ever will for that matter), I feel those arguing that lack of an alternative that rivalled old Twitter is an acceptable reason to stay there aren’t fooling anyone but themselves
