If you cannot afford a house or flat for £500,000 when you are on a £40,000 salary then abolishing Stamp Duty is really not the main problem

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

We should think about the Simpsons the same way we think about Orson Welles.

After Citizen Kane his career was one long decline, with occasional upticks (Touch of Evil).

But.

He made Citizen Kane. What have most of the rest of us ever done?

Stephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 4d

This is wrong only in one aspect: the Simpsons’ decline can be dated to exactly February 13 2000, 7:30PM Eastern Time, and no gutter press article can convince me otherwise!

‘The Simpsons has been in decline as long as I’ve been alive’: why it’s time for the show to end for good

Despite a dreadful fall in quality, the second movie has just been announced. From poor voice acting to bad characterisation, one fan explains why their beloved show has to go

On a positive note, CBC's Ombudsman found a segment on a 2023 anti-LGBTQ+ rally did not violate CBC's journalistic standards

The review concluded that yes, you can interview trans people about the impact of discrimination against their community without giving equal airtime to "the other side"

Wedding photographer. When compiling pictures for the album covering the reception I often exclude the rudest guests. One huge woman in a horrendous pink jacket was completely absent from her sister-in-laws wedding album because of this. Groom noticed and actually thanked me.

I said this the other day, and I have no idea why I think this, but I strongly feel that Henry is anti-fascist

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 12d

Stop anthropomorphising the AI chat bots already!

In this household, we only anthropomorphise ONE piece of technology, his name's Henry and he's a valued member of this family, don't sully his good name by putting him on the same level as some chat bot!

A Henry vacuum cleaner, he's got a red body and a black hat, with a smile and big eyes
