It's amazing how drivers who cannot see cyclists, pedestrians or road furniture when you suggest that they should not crash into them suddenly become positively omniscient when someone points out that their personal observations about cyclists run counter to any & all objective evidence.
if you want revenge, dig two graves. the first one won't be very good, but that's okay! it was just the practice grave! the second grave is the one you wanna post pics of

🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12
One thing the Terminator movies glossed over is how many people would turn Skynet Quisling if it meant they didn't have to compose an email
I think it's funny Musk is telling newspapers he doesn't want to go in the machine that turns cars into metal cubes. You're getting cubed bud.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2
Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)
I was in the middle of a photoshoot and I turned around and this was happening
JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoAmnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

My favourite Ann Widdecombe memory is of her and her film crew lumbering after a sex worker screeching "Aren't you ashamed?!" and immediately getting hit in the face with a can of lager.
The UK has now said it will actively harm or damage: *Chemistry *Nursing *High-end physics *Languages *Astronomy *Creative arts *Theatre and performance *Cultural industries *Europe-level science The UK has lost its mind. 🇬🇧
Cutting PIP for ADHD, autism anxiety etc is the perfect example of government policies looking to grab headlines while actually costing more. PIP helps support many people to work. Cutting it means they risk being unable to, that means more costs in the long term. 1/ inews.co.uk/news/politic...
PIP likely to be cut for ADHD and anxiety

British drama school training is the envy of the world and, as more film + TV jobs are moving to the UK, our drama schools are the backbone of a global industry. These cuts are artistic vandalism and economic stupidity.
