So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

If it got someone out of CECOT they could 100% spend the night at my house. Stephen Miller I'm never inviting over my threshold though
No 60 Minutes segment can be considered complete without this kind of erudite analysis on the issues of our day.

No surprise The TERF Express is lying about self-ID in Ireland by making it an issue when it really isn’t in the Republic, so I’ll bring this up yet again.
Self-ID and postal codes were introduced in the same week on July 2015. Only the latter has caused problems for some people in Ireland since

Fun fact- a lot of edtech creates gambling habits in children - and Duolingo and times tables rockstars (as well as Roblox (not edtech) ) are good examples but not the only offenders
Streaks, leagues, playing for points you can “spend”.. all of it should be as illegal as ads for sugary cereal are.
