After Watergate, people bought bumper stickers saying “Don’t blame me, I’m from Massachusetts”, because it was the only state Nixon didn’t win. I want one that says “Don’t blame me, I voted for chaos with Ed Miliband”.

The placard makes it even more stupid. They understand the term exists because of algorithm censorship but still say they’ve used it “out of respect”

Yeah. There just isn’t a separate front crawl event like there is for other strokes just because it wouldn’t be any different from freestyle because it’s already the fastest style.

Every American recipe I see online is processed meat, processed dairy and garlic and onion powder. Maybe some premade marinara sauce or salsa. Never anything fresh.

Struggling to see why those would encourage ideation any more than “unalived” apart from sounding less clunky.
I feel as though sometimes there’s a bit of an arms race to with progressive language and all it does is create worse and less useable phrasing for the same thing.

Rowling wrote the books that helped launch their careers. The actors helped turn her books into one the most successful film franchises of all time. They all benefited and they all made a fortune. Nobody owes anyone anything.

The lettuce thing arose from an article in The Economist which compared her shelf life to that of a lettuce. It picked up steam online and The Daily Star ran with it.
I haven’t followed the Depp v Herd trial closely enough to have anything like a reasonable opinion on the outcome, but people outside the court wearing pirate hats and cheering at the outcome when it was ultimately about domestic violence is very ugly.

Imagine throwing vulnerable minority students under a bus and then pretending that putting out a few generic links is an acceptable response.

They also can’t even fix really basic stuff. Like Microsoft word has been famous for how the formatting randomly fucks up for decades and the only thing that’s changed is that it’s got more expensive for the same problems.

This is probably an anti-corruption measure because he’s working on behalf of a local council. It does feel very jobsworth-y given he’s nowhere near any policy decisions.
@carlgardner
I think it’s more important that MPs take their responsibility for their constituents and the wider country seriously than the monarchy. He still took the oath. Republicans are a significant portion of the population and in a democracy it should be possible to respect that view.

His other twitter tactic is to get as many people as possible to pile in and then say he’s had enough of the conversation. He also couldn’t do that.

Amazing that people are trying to pretend that bigots are incapable of masking their views with gentle language, or that people responding to bigotry are wrong to use robust and emotive language.

I assume they’ve learned the fact that all of a woman’s eggs are developed while they’re still in the womb and got it all scrambled.

If you somehow miraculously managed to change all the DNA in a human’s body into that of a butterfly, I’m pretty sure they would just die.
The fact that people are still pressed about that fucking duct taped banana five years later has done more to demonstrate its value as a piece of conceptual art than if they had just moved on with their lives
Call me a radical, but I think that the medical profession might actually improve if it wasn’t so dominated by people who think they’re God’s gift to humanity because they did well in their A-levels and have coasted on that ever since.

Who needs the ONS when we can rely on anecdotal evidence from one person working at one hospital related through three people and an anonymous Twitter account.

Are you basing that on the fact that you read a New Yorker article and have decided that you know more than a jury who sat through an 8 month long trial
Reminder when Thomas Skinner wants to use his “salt of the earth” act to push right wing politics as working class sensibility that he went to one of the most expensive private schools in Essex.
My dad had a successful transplant last night. He’s been waiting for four years and it’s the tenth time he’s been called in since he went on the list. Three of those times have been in the last month. The decision to make donations opt out was a great move.

It’s not journalism to report that an MP who campaigned heavily on standing up for Gaza isn’t attending a statement on Gaza?
@KatyMontgomerie
There’s no way they’d treat any other prejudice so flippantly anyway , but “just write a column” displays such an absurd level of arrogance and unacknowledged privilege.
A man who until recently was employed as one the BBC’s top politics presenters and he’s falling for years old boomer copy pasta that falls apart at the slightest logical analysis.

He still hasn’t sorted out help for the self employed and the replacement for furlough was made last minute on the back of a fag packet. Not to mention the disaster that was Eat out to Help Out. He’s cleared the low bar of being better than Johnson, but it’s far from leadership.
