Dr Collier here sums up my thoughts on the issue. Honestly, people trying to defend the participants of space tourism, just stop, every argument I hear sounds like something an upper middle class schmuck would use to justify eco-tourism and shitty gap years.... youtube.com/watch?v=0Wty...

Why are government’s “hard decisions” always hard on people with the hardest lives already - so sick of framing cowardice in dealing with those with the most as “toughness”

I watched Section 31 again, because I wanted to be sure I wasn't just "hating" and I'm definitely not. Xena was about a bad person over several seasons coming to terms with her past, her motivations in interesting ways. Section 31 is Georgiou being given the Karen Walker script and her past exempted

I got caught in the rain, but got to see these in the woods. I think they are Ganoderma, but not entirely sure which species. Maybe my mycologist or forager friends on here can help

I have spent an entire weekend watching french films, drinking tea and wondering why I spent my career helping as*holes when I could have been some schmuck with a day job, living in Montmartre and feeding pigeons on the steps of the Basilique

I would love this job. "The CEO of this AI company doesn't know what AI is." "It's down the stack!" "You know that thing you love doing? The thing keeping you sane during climate disaster? A company wants to steal that task from you AND waste 1000 gallons of water for only $68 per month!"

Ab unfortunate interaction at a local supermarket with an elderly man... "you aren't very convincing as a man, young lady"....... I was about to explode, then realised he thought I looked young, so I took the backhanded slap of a compliment and walked off. At least I can still feel irritated.

My little prince (Eddie/Edderz) hasn't sat in this bean bag chair for nearly a year since his sister died, it was always her chair. It's like he wanted to be close to her again this Christmas. I was in tears taking this photo, it made me sad, nostalgic but also oddly happy.

Former boss who made his hefty bonus off the back of a project I completed forgot he'd worked with me, despite him telling me about his heart problems (didn't think he had one) & telling me how much my work mattered. nice to be remembered for all the hard work. f*cks me off that he didn't, bast*ard!

Ever since handling a tarantula I've been fascinated by them, my attempt to dispel my irrational discomfort of spiders has given way to a new obsession with them. Look at this one, it's truly stunning (have labeled it so no jump scares)

Damned Amazon, it's the only place with stock, I love trolls, ever since I was a kid I loved how ambiguous their gender was, how awesome the hair is and the fact people said they were ugly made me very defensive.... Cause I always saw a lot of myself in the aesthetic of them...

GP Practices are so badly designed, it feels like the architects were fans of Alcatraz. Poor ventilation, cramped, poor temperature control and decorated by minimalist sadists. The accessibility is a mix of "we have an elevator" but it's tiny, also there's a huge unramped step at the main entrance

I hate when people use "civil society" in an argument. At what point are these moralising schmucks starting from, is a genoc*de part of civil society? stop & search? Global/Local exploitation? Are they trying to say a wealthy white CEO with a toe tag is the line? But everything else is fine?! Ghouls

I despise the argument rich people make when they say "well, I pay my employees and they pay tax" it's a "look over there" strategy so no one focuses on the huge amounts of dodged tax they aren't paying www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Given everything we know about her now, are we really surprised... All crypto is a scam and those peddling it are scamming the people buying it www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h...
