Watching Star Trek Voyager. It's easy to dismiss the Maquis as a niche group of extremists but actually it sounds like quite a big tent.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

Ah yes British patriotism. Not defined by its own merit, but by how much one dislikes others.
If patriotism for your country stands entirely on hatred for others, your patriotism doesn't mean shit. 👍

Not one person would consider that "peace plan" to be acceptable were their own country in Ukraine's place. Not one.

The tendency of Coroners to ignore guidance from the Chief Coroner, the reality of trans existence, and the wishes of bereaved parents, and express their own views in the death certificate, is both contemptible and unlawful.
We have a legal team ready to go; we will challenge it in the High Court.

If AI can replace your staff, it can probably replace your product (and company) too.
One thing I'd caution against those who say "what my company does can be done entirely with AI... I don't need to pay actual people"...
If that's true, then what are you building that your customers can't just use ChatGPT to get?

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings
