Disastrously hopeful cynic
Not sure what I expected when I joined here. But this? Bit surprised, am I being naive?

I love Calvin and Hobbes and I love analogies and all analogies are limited. That being said, I want to stress one way in which what the Supreme Court not infrequently does is unlike Calvinball. That is to Calvinball’s credit.

Does everyone that makes the exodus from Twitter to Bluesky find themselves only posting about the Bad Place? Feels like I’ve left an abusive relationship!

*whispers* is the bad place down at the moment? Presumably I’m the millionth person to make the Good place/Bad place analogy!

See. Stuff like this - “some of the most punk humans I’ve ever met look like librarians” is so cool!
Also when you boil it down, "sketchy" and "dangerous" are far more essential characteristics of punk than studded belts and dyed hair. Some of the most punk humans I've ever met look like librarians.

The problem is this is still true at a 250% tariff, so Apple is a bit stuck here.
Even with a 25% tariff it will be cheaper to make them outside the US.

I’m not sure getting rid of the principal of consent would:
1. Survive either the Human Rights Act or ECHR
2. Be remotely wise at a time when parliament is separately considering introducing assisted dying. Maybe don’t change several major medical norms at once?
I have no issues with increasing the harshness of penalties for abusers to be honest. Having already seen the previous government push through x-rays for unaccompanied asylum seeking children, I think there do need to be concerns raised about setting any precedent of ignoring medical consent though.

Please ask people to follow me!

Totally unsure of how to curate/build my profile so I get the best out of being here, and don’t have a spare 16yrs to do so like with Twitter. Failing that who should I be following?

Who can I pitch my #Tresco treatment to please? Think The Secret History meets The Camomile Lawn with a dash of Atonement/Brideshead revisited.

Well, I’d watch it.

How had I not heard of #Tresco (do we do #’s here?) before tonight? Because I am locked in now. Does anyone have anything they want to tell me about the Island?

I am certain this is what most people say when having just joined, but wow! Finding and following people is overwhelming, having been solely on Twitter for 16years. Just need to find 1-2000 of my closest friends now…

Hello Brave New World! I genuinely believe I would have joined sooner if I could’ve thought of a good enough first post, ah well…
