Absolutely this. Putting small wrongs right is not a bad thing, obviously. But ignoring a BIG wrong is just evil.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Absolutely disgraceful. Burnham and the entire Labour government need to be removed from power immediately. I will never vote for the Labour Party ever again.

This is a great idea. If you live in London, once you've swiped through a hundred or so propositions of outings, the recommendations seem to be spot on for me. Most Excellent!

Good morning.

Steve Buscemi's 9/11 story has always stuck with me, but this is the first time I've seen this video of him talking about it. Great guy.

More assholes out themselves.

Oh god yes! STFU!

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

The RNLI's 2026 Christmas cards are now available - some beautiful designs to share with loved ones and an important revenue stream for such a vital service run by some of the very best of humanity. shop.rnli.org/collections/...

Apple 17” CORE 2 Duo. For all the fanboys telling me that AksUAllY Duo was a Windows phone Apple does nothing original….I bought my MacBook Duo in 2006 AKSUALLY. So there.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

I write a letter every month to a stranger, telling them about my past struggles and encouraging them to know that they are not alone in theirs, and that other people care about them. Nowadays I see a lot of performative cruelty, and this is one way we can all show others that we care.

Ditto.

Any help, @jonworth.eu ?

The National Rebirth Party in all their glory.

Social media haters - attention! Incoming!

One for @scalzi.com perhaps?

C'est bcp plus facile de diminuer l'immigration que de gérer les 3 sujets en question, qui sont complexes, probablement pas solubles en 1 mandat et demandent des arbitrages (J'ai pas dit qu'il fallait pas le faire, hein, juste que les politiques préféreront pas se mouiller)

Well done @thelancet.com

I see Julie Burchill is still earning a crust as an obnoxious assshole. “Psychiatric disorders now account for 39% of PIP claims….It makes me furious to think how many of these are fake, and which may be bringing genuinely disabled people such as myself…under suspicion. “

wrote about that ADHD documentary, my own life as someone apparently living the perfect life of the unmedicated ADHD poster child, and why no amount of "oh but the system should change, not the people" doesn't work: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

Meanwhile in the Telegraph comments: THIS IS ALL RUBBISH

Most excellent.

22% of desktops are Linux desktops! FINALLY the year of Linux On The Desktop! Also only momentary.... "Today it looks unlikely that Windows on the desktop will be displaced by Linux." Tim is so defeatist.

Guardian: We’re reading less. And it’s making us stupid. Here’s a video to explain everything. Good grief can you say “Part of the problem?”?

That is indeed a great article on the rise of diagnoses

Very much this. We need collectively and individually to do much better. The current situation is an improvement on the past but there’s a long way to go.

I love that this links to a video. The circle is complete

JK Rowling has a page up at jkrwf.org where you can ask for financial aid to fight the good fight. So I’ve asked for some money to help in the fight against her being so nasty for no reason. Please do join in, every little helps.

Read all those weird columns about people expressing opinions on other people's behaviour that's not harming them in the least (canes, headphones) and clearly I should pitch a column "the hill I will die on: leave people live their lives however is easier for them so long as they do others no harm"

Ricky Gervais isn’t funny? Film at 11 (I’ll be in bed by 9).

Now THAT’S a dessert.

This looks wonderful!

We just submitted our official feedback on the EU’s proposed Passenger Package: erpu.eu/files/erpu_p... 3 key points: 1. We support the “sharing obligation”. 2. We oppose the “single platform / transaction” requirement. 3. We need clarity on how rights will be realised at the point of disruption.

Another panel done! I've coloured up to the very edge of London, as it was in 1746. This latest panel shows Mile End and Stepney Church surrounded by fields. (High-res and article in comments.)

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

The US Government is now outright lying to the world. This is not just misleading, it's an out and out lie. Vaccines do NOT cause autism, full stop. This is beyond disgraceful. First measles, now this crap all over again. They are trying to actively kill their citizens.

Those who claim that banning adolescents from social media is “The answer “ don’t understand the problem. Such a ban is just the “something” they say we must do when they are wilfully refusing to look seriously at the issue.
