If we're going to ban social media and mobile phones for kids, then we need to ban Facebook and the Daily Mail for boomers. For the exact same fucking reasons.

This is one hell of a story 👇
Want to hear about my worst ever Christmas Day? Sure you do.
20-ish years ago, my then-girlfriend said her brother had invited us to spend Christmas day with him and his girlfriend at said girlfriend's mum's house. Sounds cosy, right? Nope. 1/

You will never convince me that having a massive flagpole in your front garden isn't weird, regardless of the flag on it.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”
WELKER: Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t shirt could've been part of an attempt to get attention for help?
TOM COTTON: Or it could've been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Can everyone in the UK get their heads around the fact that 'pressing charges' is a US thing and has no basis in UK law? The CPS decide whether to prosecute or not. They might consult you but ultimately it's out of your hands.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Labour does not have to "fight for the right-wing". Take the "for" out of that sentence: that's what you're FOR, you poll-obsessed, focus-grouped, question-asking, legitimate-concern-addressing, bedwetting fucking airbags. Give voters a choice: Ladybird Britain, or Redistribution of Wealth.

Historian here. Witnessing so many gullible people vote for their own downfall is upsetting. It means humans, even in an age with the total sum of recorded knowledge at their fingertips, will not learn from the past and just repeat the mistakes we've made time and time before.
