Watching Spartacus and can't help thinking that if the slaves had eschewed violence and presented their case in polite manner, observing societal decorum, they might have found the Romans more receptive to their arguments

It occurs to me that Laura Kuenssberg is in full Donald and Davey Stott mode for that interview.
"Mr. Polanski, we know that you do not like planes, but would you get on one to go and see an important world leader?"
"Yes".
"Riiiight".

Genocide is a 'pet atrocity' apparently

Am I going to delete and repost because if the inevitable typo demonstattrating I too am a fucking eejit sometimes? Am I fuck. Own your flaws, kids
'Presumption of innocence' as doctrine only applies in court and only relates to which side has a burden of proof. The defence has no onus probandi because the presumption obtains
It's okay to use words incorrectly but stop pretending it's be wise you're smart rather than ignorant

The presumption of innocence applies to the accuser as much as to the accused. We shouldn’t assume that they’re lying just as we shouldn’t assume guilt of the accused. We must take the time to look at the evidence first before we judge.

I can confirm that Sex Matters has been refused permission to bring its anti-democratic, exclusionary, and bigoted challenge to the inclusive space at Hampstead Ponds. More to follow.

“leading her to take risks with her personal safety“ what risks for her personal safety??? Being trans??? Being trans and going outside in the park to meet peers from school????
okay I'm sorry but I fundamentally do not see how this is anything other than victim-blaming Brianna??
Brianna met her killers, one of whom was a friend, in broad daylight. How is that some kind of online-influenced risk-taking?? They could have been meeting up to go to the cinema

The difference between an expat and an immigrant is an immigrant actually contributes to the community they become a part of
The reason these racists say people born here might not be British, is because when they and their like move abroad, they wish to remain British. They do not assimilate. Learn and enjoy the new culture they live in. They can't conceive of migration working in any other way

If you're a UK school and would like them, let me know.

The current vibe is get up at half past 10 at night, half an hour before you go to bed, eat a lump of freezing cold poison, work 28 hours a day at mill, and pay the mill owner to let you work there, then have your dad murder you in cold blood and dance about on your graves singing hallelujah.

"We will demand that ICE agents try to use more 'I feel' statements while shooting you in the face."
America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE.
- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.
