The problem for the government now is that it has to justify to its own MPs why it could u-turn for a household on £30,000 a year losing £200-£300, but not for a disabled person losing £10,000 a year, at once, because of the government’s choices.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

Beat Clair Obscur and went back to Monster Hunter Wilds. Both great games. Kind of a tonal shift to go from a story about when grief becomes vanity and the sentience of creation to a story about how Akuma from Street Fighter wants you to fistfight an ape so you can wear his clothes.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

"Diversity of thought" will always be a dog whistle. You use it when hundreds of different cultures and nations congregate and you truly mean "supremacy of White opinions." It's never uttered in men's clubs or straight friend groups or White companies. Conversely, we are never allowed to use it.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

The problem with the BBC doing analysis is that you can't do meaningful analysis if you aren't willing to go 'that thing, measurably, is the fault of one side or another', you just end up writing nonsense.

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.
