I’ve written I think a fair and clear Trustpilot review, but I miss the days on Twitter where you could tag them and get a directly groveling apology

long past time to make use of article 70 and call on parties to prosecute any of their citizens that participate in this intimidation campaign targeting court officials. executives at banks and payment processors, board members, managers, random nerds at State—get 'em all.

🚨 Just in: The US has sanctioned the ICC. "We ​will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate," Marco Rubio said in a statement.

1. The independent Taskforce — commissioned by NHS England, backed by government — concluded ADHD is under-diagnosed, under-recognised and under-treated in the UK. Not over. The press has reported the reverse of the finding www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

I just imagine the absurdity by putting myself in their shoes. I built a duck house a few years ago. If I had done that as a Palestinian in Area C, an angry mob of what are, legally speaking, foreign nationals in my own country, would have descended upon my property and, at a minimum, torn it down.

3) The fundamental moral question remains the same: if Israel has no intention of granting Palestinians equality under the law, then it must permit them self-government. It is intolerable that generations of people have been penned up in bantustans

Social progress has happened and it might happen again! However 1) if it’s real, everyone instantly takes it for granted 2) the people who fought the longest often get curdled out of resentment 3) the wrong people get celebrated for the achievement 4) most details of the struggle will be forgotten

RIP Jeffrey Archer, not a day goes by when I don't think about the judge in his 1987 libel case (which Archer "won" by doing a bunch of perjury) summing up for the jury by going "would a guilty man have such a hot wife". one of the most insane legal moments of all time

The term "liberal education" refers to the education of a free person of leisure, who can cultivate their mind and their understanding of the world -- as opposed to someone whose entire education consists of training to practice a trade. Work is a means to an end, and the end is not merely economic.

THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING EDUCATION IS FOR! IT ISN’T EVEN THE MAIN THING!

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵
