You cannot cultivate a relationship with the political equivalent of the Sword of Damocles.

My perspective on the future of the so-called "Special Relationship" between the UK and the US in the new era of Trump's international gangsterism.

"To be a good writer you need to be a good reader" is sound advice, but I'd caveat it by saying: quality over quantity. There's a growing perception that you need to just consume as much as possible, which I think is counter productive.

Most Brits - even the devoutly Christian ones - think this is uncouth, weird, and un-British.
Performative Christian nationalism might work in America - where these assembly line-esque fascists get their funding and ideas from - but it doesn't fly so well in the UK.

'Deadlock' is a fun entry in Voyager's second season, but what is with the sound mixing in this episode? All the sound effects sound really tinny and muffled.

Given that they're illegally refusing to release more files, all I can think is that the only way the remaining files can be worse than what we've seen is if Epstein and his Paedo Posse had trafficked children murdered and disposed of in the most grotesque ways imaginable.

This one clip is now dark satire for Russians, and a reminder of how far Putin’s promises have fallen, and why he wants censorship: to shrink the audience for his failure.

I remember when I was younger being smugly told by non-voters "if voting changed anything they would make it illegal." Well, look at where we are now. This didn't just emerge out of a vacuum. This has been a far-right project decades in the making to erode our voting rights the world over.

This. It's the same kind of mentality that irritated me with Strange New Worlds retconning the Eugenics Wars & Khan further into the in-universe future because *our* out-of-universe 1990s didn't have them. Of course they didn't have them, because Star Trek is *fiction.*
Feel bad for the boring fucks that struggle to watch old sci-fi stories about the future "cause actually that's not how [past year] was", or conversely "why does [future year] have significantly worse tech than we have now?"
Have some whimsy and enjoy things.

“The book encourages parents to put children in anti-affirmation medical and educational spaces, and to cut off loved ones who support their child's transition.”
Writing about trans youth as a product of “ideology” is dehumanising. This is the language of conversion practices. It’s child abuse.

58 UK public libraries have parenting books with advice to encourage children to detransition
An anti-trans book that encourages ‘desistance’, the practice of ‘reverting back to a cisgender identity’, is available to parents all across the UK

I know language is constantly evolving and changing, but some of my biggest linguistic pet peeves are:
1. "I busted out laughing" - No. You *burst* out laughing. Nuts and gaskets bust, not laughter.
2. It's "through" not "thru."
3. "I could care less" - No. That means you *do* care.

Rewatching #DS9 and noticed a great bit of subtext in 'Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges' where Ross, Kretak, and Bashir share Romulan Ale.
A drink that was previously illegal, Ross coughs and remarks he was "one of the few officers who didn't indulge," while Bashir laughs coyly that he definitely did.
