I counted up the number of ways (platforms, accounts, apps) that people in my professional and personal lives plus healthcare systems and kid’s school are contacting me and uhh. This is objectively impossible.

It's true that the lack of a codified constitution and parliamentary sovereignty in the UK on paper means a fascist government would have a free hand to do anything.

But as we've seen with the US, a codified constitution is just as much of a gentleman's agreement as whatever the UK has.

um. i don’t think this makes finding love even weirder. i think lying or tricking ppl in to sex is abusive

it’s funny how trans women can be tried and convicted of a sex crime if we have consensual sex with a cis person yet cis ppl can do… whatever this is to each other and it gets a cute write up

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely to build a whole fake persona …

I know dickheads like this don’t care for contradictions and gotchas, but it was only January when she said there was too much no-platforming happening on campuses and it’d be nice for our goldfish journalists to remember that and put 2+2 together about who is protected and why.

Chanting 'death to the IDF' isn't antisemitic.

Rather than asking Phillipson if a Bob Vylan concert should be cancelled, #bbclaurak should be asking her what steps the govt is taking against UK nationals who've served in the IDF, a brutal occupying army thats committed genocide.

Saw a brand new Land Rover Defender flying a massive butcher’s apron on a pole stuck to the back earlier. Hope it strikes a bridge.

This makes me want to break things. If it's such a no-big (it actually is a big that fucking disabled me), and you're equating it to flu (again, not remotely like), then why aren't the prices comparable?

(They should be free but given that's not going to happen, well)

Put 5Live on and there’s a content creator called Stevo the Madman on talking about how he filmed the birth of his daughter but the mum didn’t know. Anyway they’re no longer together and apparently people online are quick to “tear others down”.
