🚨🚨 Breaking & v welcome news: British MPs have voted to decriminalise abortion marking the biggest step forward in reproductive rights in 60 years. Amendment in crime and policing bill entails that women procuring abortion outside framework cannot be prosecuted. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Right y’all I’ve found the promised land A French city sans dog merde SANS DOG MERDE I tell you! There are signs on the ground warning people that if any dog poo is found it will be DNA tested Ahahahaha Oh it’s Béziers btw

SHARE IF YOU ARE DISGUSTED AS ME!

I'd be pretty fascinated to know what the discussions between Iran and Hezbollah look like right now. Hopefully Israel will release the transcripts.

All this stuff about Britain is broken, all is terrible, there is no recourse, society is falling apart, if there was a war nobody would go, etc is beginning to irritate me. There are doubtlessly considerable problems. But I worry that the catastrophizing could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

UCL are going back to all in person exams. There is no other solution to this problem currently available.

Got as far as “they could have hacked all the voting machines via UPS” and dismissed this whole thing tinfoil hatted batshittery. Can really picture a conspiracy of that size and complexity which involves Nazi nerds and hasn’t leaked at all? Everything leaks. You’re just crazy.

Building citizens: Why philosophy is compulsory in French schools

And yet, this New York Times reader would know about none of this were it not for other sources. US journalism is weird. All of it. And I fear UK news (eg the Graun, Telegraph, Times) is going down the same path.

Ah yes the one where the leftist criticizes centrists for criticizing leftists thus doing exactly the same thing he accuses centrists of doing. Genius!
