Always love when I see a post doing numbers that goes 'cake is nice!' and then 12 hours later comments are off and/or the OP has added 'for clarity, I am not saying that if you prefer biscuits you should be killed, nor do I wish to eliminate diabetics or coeliacs from society'

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

NEW -- Trump's White House is hiding the vast majority of the transcripts of his remarks. Why? The White House won't say... But maybe reading the following might offer a clue: www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

The quote from this article: "We have a bonus scheme to protect our most precious resource, which is the senior management team" from the chair of Thames Water is what I'd write on the guillotine if I was that way inclined.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!

A swath of media acts like the biggest victims of COVID were people who speculated that it leaked from a lab and received replies on social media like “no evidence, conspiracy theorist, stop it” instead of “I doubt it, the epidemiological evidence indicates otherwise, but can’t totally rule it out.”

"You handled it so well" No, I didn't. I went insane, lost my spark, bled in silence, shattered in private, and wore a smile that lied better than any mask could.

This piece is framing TfL as the bad guy for doing what it clearly says it will do, which is charge businesses a licence fee for using their branding. And the venue also made that clear. Always read the contract, brands, and don't throw a hissy fit when it's your fault you didn't.

This is a such a great thread. A lot of times people put me on lists of "actually good male role models" which always makes me a little uncomfortable because very little of what I do speaks to the insecurity and fear young men have and sometimes I feel pretty guilty about that.

Then they came for the autistics - on our internet - and we kicked up a massive fuss, which is literally one of our defining traits, and also explained in overwhelming detail just how bad this would be, which is our other defining trait, and they got bored & gave up, which we see a lot tbh

People like this are why I need the earbuds and don't-talk-to-me expression. You're supposed to care if other people also want to chat, not just pout because they're successfully signaling that they don't.

It's funny how you don't hear the phrase "alt-right" anymore because what was "alt-right extremism" in 2015 is the GOP party line now The term alt-right was made up by the nazi Richard Spencer. It's only purpose was to slap a new name onto Nazism & make it's ideals more palatable to the mainstream

I just don't see how you're going to make a detailed list of individuals, in software that works, with a records management system that also works, with a decent UI and available online, without the cooperation of any autistic people.
