Over on Mastodon, a debate is brewing about how you write comments in magic spells. I think that If there are magic languages for writing spells that manipulate reality, then it follows that there must be entirely *non-magic* languages like the one tax agencies use to write income tax codes. /1

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers

Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time
