In my mind as we took family to Phantom yesterday Past the Point of no Return

Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.
In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.
First of two family London theatre trips in a week. Phantom today, Hadestown next Thursday. A very good cast at present. Most impressed by Rhys Whitfield as Raoul, having seen him earlier in the year as Rapunzel’s Prince in Into The Woods. Definitely one to watch.
If Bluesky was really as dead as they say, could I do THIS?? (okay I am going to need this to do big numbers)
This brings me to tears. All the people who deserve this treatment don’t get it and all the people who don’t deserve it, get it. My god. Every single person who had a hand in this is stained with the death they helped bring about. I hope they have the lives they deserve. Disgusting.
This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
Perhaps we ought to take a moment to reflect on how many white male cishet privately educated non disabled men have been given jobs and promoted without question based on fabricated CVs, unfounded self-confidence and an embellished life story & whether we’ve even heard of them.
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: I’m Osteomyelitis, complicated by septicaemia, which caused liver failure. Thank you very much Mr Lalljee and Dr Gunaratne for 50 extra years so far and counting.

Nigel Farage has won Clacton by-election, which was boycotted by other major Westminster parties The contest was triggered when the Reform UK leader resigned as an MP while under investigation for £5m gift he didn't declare Now he’s been re-elected, that parliamentary investigation will resume
This guy has to go. Now. Requiring that he be addressed as “His Excellency” and now the FIA is the only global sporting org that allows Russians and Belarusians to compete under their flag. Great look for the FIA. What the actual F? This is how our sport leads?
NEW: FIA lifts post-Ukraine war ban on Russians competing in motorsport, without explannation The FIA has lifted the ban it introduced on Russians competing in motorsport in reaction to the country's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. More:

I doubt I have any followers who can vote in Clacton today. But if anyone who can sees this, don't forget it's Bin Day.

I don't want to be judgy or mean but seriously, fuck transphobes forever, they are awful.
“No child deserves this. No human deserves this. We are asking anyone with a conscience to help us end this nightmare ... If this could happen to us, a law-abiding family of two professors and a young boy, it can happen to anyone.”
One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention
My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

"This is based on what I feel" is the foundation of all 'science' on the right, including when it comes to trans people.
Trump: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."
This is good to see as the Telegraph is the kind of institution well placed to set out and reinforce antiracism norms among people who might otherwise drift towards Lowe’s toxic worldview
Allister Heath in the Telegraph argues that the foundation of Restore's politics is a "Groyperification" into rabid conspiratorial populism that rejects ethnic & faith minorities being equally British. www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026...
Look, I do try hard to find the good in people, but Kathleen Stock really is the worst. An absolute stinker. Just a complete rotter, through and through.
One of the things I do in my hobby is a big weekend freeform roleplaying most Februarys. There are spaces in the next game, Cafe Casablanca which is based around film noir and WW2 film plots. If you're interested in joining us, more details are at www.ishtari.co.uk/casablanca/i...

Pretending that the Navy taking back migrants would be a humanitarian mission and therefore legal, is a bit like pretending that a £5 million bribe is nothing to do with politics and therefore doesn't need to be declared.
To my cisgender siblings in the UK: today is segregation day. Help in every way you possibly can. Do not ignore this. Fight the transphobes in every venue, in every arena, in every situation.
This is a horror and our country has disgraced itself. But laws change and in the meantime, no toilet narcs + malicious compliance time.

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.
RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of @durham.ac.uk - this is University College, which occupies the castle If you like this image, I’d really appreciate a repost - remember, BlueSky has #NoAlgorithm
While I don't wish anyone dead, there are some people I do not and will not mourn.
What more fitting way to remember Rod Liddle’s life and work than by making nasty jokes about someone who can’t answer back
The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018. Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.
I always wondered what it would take for the Telegraph to decide there might be a downside to climate breakdown. Well, now we know. Even so, this article manages not to mention it.
Feeling sad today about all my favorite audio dramas that will never be finished. I stay subscribed to their feeds with a slim hope of them returning, even though I know they never will. The stories mean so much to me and I hope the people who wrote and created them are doing well and thriving 💜
