Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
Why wouldn’t Nintendo sue that unmitigated shitweasel? Could they be persuaded to?

Hugely irresponsible

1) For your own safety, as someone who's worked in retail, do not confront shoplifters. Ever.

UK govt wants to deregulate nuclear safety rules

The complaint is regulators have a “culture of risk aversion”

Personally, I like my nuclear regulators to be risk averse. "Economic growth" shouldn't be their job

The government has just been defeated in the Court of Appeal in its attempt to curb our right to protest. It should now be reviewing all arrests made under these unlawful powers

Buried in The Observer yesterday was this: UK police knocking on doors demanding details of social media accounts of people, to pass to a foreign government, simply because they happen to live near where a US politician wanted to have a holiday observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Me: if you play solo TTRPGS & have ADHD pls tell me how you get on with them and what systems you’d recommend.

I must stop asking questions on the internet. I keep thinking that, since the enshittification of internet searching is essentially complete, throwing it out to people interested in the subject matter is my best bet for a helpful steer.

Mostly what i get is a reminder of what people can be like
