Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

She appears - from what I can tell - to be comparing a family of two with no kids on the national living wage (one only working part time) with a family of 5 who are all disabled and claiming UC and housing benefits and that doesn’t strike me as a fair comparison.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Just to spell out the link here, Rowling is the chief financial backer of the incredibly litigious gender critical movement that bullies institutions and people into complying with their beliefs
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

I mean there's plenty the leader of the opposition could have used to attack the Chancellor's handling of the Budget and yet she chooses... the one thing that Reeves had absolutely nothing to do with.

Reasons to resign:
Tories: doubling the cost of mortgages; throwing birthday parties while people are separated from their dying relatives for reasons you imposed
Labour: holding press conference & not saying thing that previously you had later said was not untrue but which the OBR didn't also say

Several newspapers are mourning the death of "Shakespeare in Love screenwriter Tom Stoppard" which, while technically true, is very much on the level of "Thomas The Tank Engine narrator Ringo Starr".

Damn.
Tom was, all round, a scholar and a gent. My dad envied his quietly perfect artist’s wardrobe and treasured his friendship. As did I.
Travel well. I hope the wine’s okay.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
