Are people doing the 'yeah but the conservatives voted for a guy who fucked a dead pig, so this is pretty tame by UK standards' thing?

I bet labour does it solo if they are coming up on the next election and looking at an utter wipeout under first past the post

“This two-handed soldier’s sword was huge and aberrant and frankly malicious, and utterly your responsibility.”

A drawing of Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb series, dressed in hospital clothes while hugging a glowing two handed sword and crying, her gaze a little lost.

Me: comic-book villains are not very believable

*2024 happens*

Me: okay, fine. But no one believes that a hero will dress up as an animal like a bat or a spider or a, I dunno, a frog, and face down the bad guys.

*2025 happens*

The number of trans kids accepted by their parents is about 31%, from the last dataset I saw.
The concern isn't about the parents who love their kids and want the best for them. It's about the other ones.

The police don't even have a real union. Just something that looks like one if you squint.

I saw yesterday that 10% of the population owns 93% of the stock market, and now I'm trying to figure out how to articulate the upper class and it's economic indicators delaminating from the rest of us.

Treetrunk Cave isn't as comfortable as Mountain Cave or Beach Cave but during nonstop rain, it's a much-needed smoke/snack respite.

No one else was up there and the heavy drops from the trees meant the ferns were constantly jostled around me, though, there was no wind. Honestly, a bit spooky🪴👀🪴
