They call everyone else snowflakes, but they're one long blizzard of self-loathing and everything triggers them. Strange and inadequate people.
Harrison Pitt accuses the King of treachery. Pitt is a Senior Policy Fellow for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, who also regularly co-hosts podcasts with his ally Tomlinson (who advocates banning all ethnic and faith minorities from public office). Like Lowe, Pitt is keen to dissolve boundaries/norms

"Why do we have to take ethics classes for a computer science degree?"

This is why. And frankly, we should be failing more students for inadequately demonstrating their understanding of the topic.

Let's review some fun historical examples of why "No, actually quality will continue to matter."

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

President Macron: "In Nuuk, I reaffirmed France’s unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland. Greenland belongs to its people. Denmark stands as its guarantor. I join my voice to that of Europeans in expressing our full solidarity."

Science Teachers! If you know of any trainee / ECTs who might appreciate a FREE Kindle edition of "Why Don't Things Fall Up?" let me know! One PGCE student told me it was "better than anything on her official reading list". It's had other great reviews from scientists and teachers:

"Irregular migration" only happens *because* of the fucking evil, monstrous, racist policies brought in by every Labour government of my lifetime, the very policies you are defending to people who have been harmed by them.

Tell us about a time you had to apologize for being white.

Who have you apologized to for being white?

Who required you to apologize for being white?

We need more Michael Sheens and fewer Elon Musks...
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

You can call him an arsehole. And he is.

You can say this is wildly reckless and abhorrent. And it is.

But the race to make sure the ludicrous anti-migrant hysteria during the brexit campaign had absolutely nothing to do with the murder of an MP, when it did. Brought us here.

This is why Johnson sent the Congress home during the Shutdown for 54 days, nearly 8 weeks, so the FBI would have time to redact Trumps name from the Epstein files.
