A Labour MP calling for trans women to be banned from parkrun, which, as the name suggests, is people non-competitively running around a park.
There are no winners in this event. There are no losers in this event - bar Jonathan Hinder MP, should he ever take part.

There's something to be said about projects going over time & budget, meandering, struggling, and eventually the need to make a decision. Fine.
But let's also note: the management who allowed projects to struggle like that for so long, to get to this place -- remain in heartily-paid work today.

Dear Mr. Clegg
I have started a business, selling the contents of your house
I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house
Without this access my company will not be profitable
Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree
Please advise how I should proceed

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Why am I…agreeing with Piers Morgan
Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it.
If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

Even if Duolingo is helping you as it once did me, deleting your account is the only correct move right now. The company posted record profits, but capitalist greed means they're killing jobs, lowering quality, and will be creating an increasingly inferior experience for increasingly higher prices.
I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI.
I urge everyone to delete their app.

Duolingo CEO says he's getting rid of contract employees and replacing them with AI
Duolingo employees can also expect their AI use to be graded in their performance reviews.

Very sorry to hear of the untimely death of Jill Sobule. She was a great songwriter, an incredibly engaging performer, a radical activist who dealt with the music industry on her own terms and a lot of fun to work with. Here's the encore we played on our 2004 tour
