if you are concerned that magistrates are being given more powers and you think that the demographics of magistrates might mean that these powers are unfairly deployed, a good thing to do is to look up the qualifications to become a magistrate and to think seriously about doing that yourself

My actual food discourse take is that the problem with low stakes Internet discourse like the food stuff isn’t the people with opinions, it’s the people who act like you kicked their dog if you say you don’t like something they do. Learn how to not take other people’s opinions personally.
my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

My mum once caught her old boy cat (RIP) munching on a slice of pizza up a corner
My mum does not eat pizza, she thinks he got it from someone else's bin bag they'd put outside their door (it's a block of flats)
The next day she found a pile of bright orange vomit in a different corner

The best thing about having a cat is when he’ll walk in the room carrying a slice of ham but you don’t have any ham in the house. Where’d you get the ham little guy?

Lucky that the budget tomorrow includes a top-secret plan to bail out universities, otherwise this would be entirely empty rhetoric
Always the way, isn't it? Graduate from top uni says other people shouldn't aspire to go to university.
The Prime Minister's target – two thirds of young people getting a degree or an apprenticeship – is the right one. Only Labour backs our young people.

I read a piece recently where US voters were asked what they wanted from their ideal political party
A Republican voter said, 'stay out of people's lives'
This is why their policies are so batshit, because they think they should be able to do whatever they like without regard to health or safety

A bigot tried to use autism and Catholicism to attack LGBTQ+ inclusion in a private business' premises, targeted the wrong company, used AI to write his complaints, and changed his story halfway through and late.
He's now liable for costs, having failed spectacularly.

This is brutal and just shoves vulnerable broke people into homelessness.
The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

Ultimately the minimum wage is a brilliant tool, but it can’t compensate for “we haven’t built any housing”, “we have cut cash transfers to the bone” and “all the third spaces have been cut to pay for social care”.
