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.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?
Odd that.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.
At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

I think it's appalling that Britain's most enduringly popular family don't pay income tax or VAT, but it's hard to deny how much joy they bring to the general public. That chandelier gag alone...

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Even now, videogames sometimes get looked down upon as dumb, trivial ways to spend your time.
So here's a very personal example of how a videogame recently helped me get through the toughest period of my life, in a way I never expected.
Bear with me. (Especially if you hate videogames.)

Etymology of the day: spiders were once known as ‘attercops’, or ‘poison-heads’, because it was believed most spiders were venomous. The ‘cop’ element became the ‘cob’ in ‘cobweb’.
