Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Now is a good time to write to the BBC & make it clear that this is not ok. Robin isn't some vicious demagogue. His positions are uncontroversial statements of basic humanity, & anyone who shares them needs to make themselves heard. They're a public company & answerable to us.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

I guess the president just announced he recently took his latest in a series of cognitive tests, this one in front of a room full of medical personnel observing him?

I understand this sentiment, but defeated capitulation is *precisely* the kind of response most helpful to your political opponents. Telling yourself you have no political agency & defeat is an historical inevitability is only one step away from voting for them.
And the political wind feels like it's behind those that agree with Tice. We're probably closer to banning ear defenders for children as government policy than we are to doing a proper review of SEN support. I hope I'm being too cynical, of course.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

I'd like to hear a lot less podcast chats with CEOs & celebrities, & a lot more with nurses, social workers, carehome staff, teachers & counsellors. The skills most of us need to work on are communication, empathy, compassion, dealing with difficult emotions, listening & keeping a sense of humour.

I think it is fair to say that this is a crime against humanity. It is a staggering number of deaths."

Crimes against humanity
We need to make a bigger issue of what happened to the world when Elon Musk decimated USAID.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
