Reminds me of the time that Disney had to send round a memo ordering their staff to stop referring to the studio as ‘Mauschwitz’ on social media. The staff complied, changing the name to ‘Duckau’.

This guy is a liar himself, look how he distorts the evidence. For example: Trump is an awful human being and a terrible leader and I’d go as far as to say that his January 6th shenanigans were treasonous but to pin the rise in the murder rate on him and him alone seems to be a wilful neglect of the other circumstances. Covid isolated people within their own houses and there are a lot of guns in those houses as is outlined in one of the links in the article.

File under: more Conservative hypocrisy.

Edit: Almost complete list here.

“I’d like to give them some fucking stimulus.”

If you want to insure yourself against capital flight go for a Land Value Tax. Let 'em shove a hectare of land in their luggage.

OK so it’s time to say the quiet part out loud: the reason that governments have so far held off on taxing billionaires at 1% or 2% is the fear that they might spend 2% or 3% against those governments in revenge.

General Zod: I like the globe…

What ever happened to him?

Well, he pulled it on Rorschach, and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.

the ability of professional journalists to locate these specimens.

Heave half a brick out of window and you’ll hit one.

Well that was more entertaining than I thought it would be.

What happens when a Tory learns about empathy?

Cognitive dissonance.

Only way I can imagine Suella chasing a trans voter is with a cricket bat.

The butter won’t make him fat but the pasta will.

Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

Definitely. He emboldened Bush with his Christian bullshit.

Yeah, on the other hand he’s never going to face up to what he’s done so you’re right, he probably shouldn’t have brought up the single most authoritarian policy New Labour ever proposed.

Blair needs to stop sticking his oar in and give the new government time and space to crack on with fixing the mess left by the Tories. I’m sure ministers have better things to do than shoot down his bad ideas. be dragged off to prison for war crimes.

Escalators definitely can cause anxiety and a surprising number of adults don’t know how to use them safely. I always stand at least four steps behind people on the up escalator because the number of people that will step off the escalator and just stop while they decide which direction to pick next is shocking.

I think that if you pick a fun place to visit and then do escalator drills, the same way that we teach kids to cross roads safely, then it might help with the anxiety. Also it’s something that will hopefully pass on generationally.
