Yes, there’s a reason alright.
Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

They absolutely lost their shit when some trans folks wrote on statues with chalk... The BBC certainly didn't talk about statues being checked, they led with the Home Secretary calling it 'disgraceful'.

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age.

Really hope that there’s going to be specific space carved out in this for comics, because we know the impacts they can have.
Unless we see funding for comics research, materials for teachers about using comics, money provided for comics advocacy, this momentum is not going to last.

I'm seeking book recs for 11/12 year olds who like Loki. It doesn't HAVE to be funny but it'd help. Obviously as soon as someone asks me for recs I forget every book. #KidlitUK

A friend got me to switch to Apple Music a few months ago. You get lossless audio and you can integrate your own downloads. It's just objectively better as a music player. The only thing they don't have is the year end wraps, which, whatever
