Bemused at people going for Shakespeare for "this important British writer was just a cover for a talented woman" when the Wordsworths are right there.

TIL that 'bork' as in 'broken' isn't originally Swedish Chef, it's from 1980s US judge Robert Bork who was famous for constantly obstructing stuff (OED in the screencap)

OK, I can't quite believe this.
Sometimes you read a sci-fi story & think, "well, that was fun - but *obviously* there's zero truth in it!"
In "20 Trillion Leagues Under the Sea" by Adam Roberts, a retelling of Verne's classic, there's a vast ocean *under* our seas.
Total nonsense?

IMAGINE using the phrase 'hamstrung by human rights laws' and expecting people to treat you like a perfectly normal being afterwards.
Suella Braverman, "There is a very strong case to increase the powers of any immigration enforcement officers that we deploy"
"At the moment they're hamstrung by human rights laws, by health and safety laws, by all sorts of needless and obstructive bureaucracy"

the absolute disconnect in Labour obsessing over the banning of children on social media, a panic largely instigated by AI generated images, fake news and pornographic deepfakes but also rolling out a course to promote AI in the workplace that is proudly advertised as "taking only TWENTY MINUTES"

Philly isn't just meaner than Minneapolis, it's considerably more diverse, so you're going to see a lot of POC getting brutalized here

Still seeing lots of posts eagerly talking about all the fun stuff that's gonna happen when ICE comes to Philly. Here's what's gonna happen: families will get torn apart, entire neighborhoods will be terrorized, people will be blinded and maimed. That's a guarantee. Stop rooting for it.
As a Philadelphian, I find the "I hope ICE goes to Philly" and "ICE won't know what hit them in Philly" rhetoric on here to be extremely gross

idly wondering if there'd be as much differentiation if everyone had the same body type and then remembered I once had to explain to an american that 'dark' in a 19thc novel could be used to refer to the *french*, the brits are that pale.

Goodnight from Ashcourt Paranormal Exploration Society (APES), whose monthly meeting has erupted into an unholy row about whether recent Fethrower reports are hoaxes. Goodnight from Josie Carpenter, wishing it was easier to hold hands with a ghost. Goodnight from Hookland.

I'm just a humble small-town comedian, what do I know? But isn't "lynched" an interesting word to use in that context? You might even call it an extraordinarily offensive choice of words that flips the reality of the situation on its head! Who can say?

Remember when left-wing "authoritarians" were "lynching" conservatives on campus? I hope everyone who wrote articles about that is feeling great. But they might want to reflect on the way the metaphorical language of violence allows us to treat actual violence as a reaction to figurative violence.
