If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

Blaming Drive to Survive fans for the horrible shit people said to and about Kimi Antonelli is such a cop out. Did they go back in time and do it to Timo Glock in 2008 too?

Got message saying "I am looking at it again" from someone I'm trying to get to do something properly which is their responsibility & I really need but also I get that stuff happens so I'm not judging but I am also not above enjoying the recalled version of the message that reads "I am at it again."

That's what it's like for folks who use screen readers when you don't include alt text.
When you write inaccurate alt text, they hear shit like "a dickhead things he's funny" and have no further context.
Alt can have flavour but it MUST be accurate.
Please, just add alt text.

I get that I can be annoying about alt text but I need you to imagine for just a minute what it's like to rely it.
Imagine logging onto socials and every post is "Omg this is so funny! Image." Or, "This is really important information. Image."
You don't know what the image is - it's just "image".

When most people say "during Covid" they mean "when we did infection control in schools".
"Not controlling the spread of disease at all" results in more illness than "doing something to control the spread of disease".
So of course it's "worse than Covid".

We lived in Malaysia for a bit when I was a kid and every so often you'd see a newbie foreigner standing on the forecourt next to a sign saying "Air" desperately trying to work out how to inflate their tyres with what was clearly a garden hose, yet to learn that "air" means water in Bahasa Melayu.
Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

“She announced a further £891m further public money going into what the government contends will be a privately financed solution” for the Lower Thames Crossing - the vast new motorway tunnel linking Essex to Kent. 😫
Just the PFI consultancy is costing £24m!!!!

This is the police force that tasered *their own race relations officer* outside his home a few years ago because they mistook him for another Black guy, then cleared the cop of all wrongdoing before racially profiling him *again* a few months later.

A thing that's common to a lot of "overdiagnosed" or "trendy" conditions is that historically they were mostly diagnosed when the people with them were causing a problem to somebody else. People better understanding themselves and being better able to advocate for their own needs is good, actually.

The NHS just did a big independent review that concluded that ADHD is still significantly under diagnosed and under supported.
But that's not the answer he wanted.
So he's ordering a new conclusion.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

Most car "safety" is just an arms race between car users with pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders, etc., as collateral damage. Real safety would be smaller cars moving slower, and there being far, far fewer of them.
If tiny cars are too dangerous to be allowed on our streets, think of how it feels to be a pedestrian or cyclist!
Unlike Europe and Asia, NHTSA & Congress have failed to create a regulatory category for minicars. Because they flunk US safety rules for full-sized cars, they’re effectively illegal to sell.
Only “collectable” minicars cars 25+ years old can be legally sold (and they’re quite popular).

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.
