I feel like this headline could have been written at any point in the last thirty years and been equally true.
Which doesn't mean it doesn't need saying again.

And yes - sure - you can make up answers, but the point of security questions is that they are things you know and can remember.
At least give people an option to set their own security questions.

If you're requiring security questions to which 'only you would know the answers' - it's a really *good* idea not to make the questions things that are in the public domain @virginmoneyau.bsky.social
Please just sort this stuff out. It's really basic.

Imagine if 2000 children had gone missing from boarding schools. How much outrage there would be. Imagine how quickly there would be demands for inquiries and actions. Instead because these are unaccompanied asylum seeking children they will either be ignored or blamed for being trafficked.
How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

More then 2,000 trafficked children and lone child asylum seekers missing from UK councils’ care
Charities say vulnerable young people are being failed by local authorities, the police and central government

Of all the rampantly hostile anti-asylum policies Labour announced last week, their pretence at "safe routes" was among the most disingenuous. Having already closed core ones, they have spun out the existing community support scheme to be more limited, along with visas which are inaccessible.
In France, people still remain destitute, are still beaten, tear gassed & robbed by the French police, still have no hope but the idea that by risking their lives one more time, the UK will provide them the chance of a future.
And we still imagine we can make them disappear.

Looks outside at plants that need weeding, various ceramics, books on untidy desk... floor with box with random stuff in it - hmm cables...

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Martin's right. I'm just a general member of the public who was following along on news and twitter - and I knew it was likely airborne by ca. April 2021, from evidence of transmission through AC systems in South Korea.
People were speaking out at the time. They're why I never got infected.

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

It’s my birthday, but it’s also unfortunately the third anniversary of the day I got the Covid infection that disabled me. This year has been the hardest with the disease. I encourage you to be careful this holiday season, wear a mask and test, do not get or give Covid to anyone.

Not technically screenwriting, but it's a brilliant article - which I think has relevance for us (and it's about gaming, which I'd absolutely love to write for).

Working on an adaptation at the moment - it's definitely a very different thing to writing a spec script.

Essential reading - and add to this the ongoing toll from both LongCovid and increased Covid-driven risks of cardiac events, shingles, early onset dementia - you name it.
The ongoing failure to ventilate indoor spaces and treat Covid as the airborne disease we know it is is just unforgiveable.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

If you've stopped masking, this is a really good idea on both fronts.
If you're going to mask, make it a P2/N95 respirator.
As someone who never stopped masking, my last cold was early 2021: it really works and on more than just Covid.

Interesting thought, what would happen if everyone started wearing masks again? If the police and ICE can do it, why can't everyone else? Sure would mess up facial recognition and probably a lot fewer people would get sick as well.

The thing about fascists is they hate each other almost as much as they hate everyone else.
The thing that binds them is shared complicity.
And that's why they try to make everyone else complicit in their crimes.
