Europeans tend to zoom in on homicide stats when we rebut things like this, but the reality is even starker: in any given year, a working age American adult is 2.5x likelier to die than an adult in western Europe. It's not just violence. Drugs, healthcare, and more are worse in the US.

I happened to mention at work that I dislike the expression "nothing is certain in life except death and taxis", as taxis can be famously unreliable and hard to get hold of at certain times of day. They laughed at me for a solid half-hour and my nickname is now "Uber".

Zelenskyy has really raised the credibility of comedians, but also given the world a wildly misleading bar for what most of us are capable of.

Tate is like Trump in this sense: the most grotesque thing is not that he exists, but that he’s hugely popular, and what that says about us as a species.

The crux of this framing is that men will “exploit” trans inclusivity to perv in women’s bathrooms. The problem is: men - like the registered sex offender in this story - already do this, and there’s zero evidence that trans-inclusive policies have suddenly incentivised more of them into action.

Yes. This is the way to go. If California did this, the Trump White House would be in serious trouble. CA, WA, NJ, NY all big donor states. Only Trump one in top 10 is TX at #3. Let's see how long they keep voting for Trump when they have to fund the entire south.

As you know, I'm very polite and personal abuse is usually beneath me but Tim Stanley is the most titanic shithouse of a human being. The face, the voice, the fashy grovelling. The rotten decadence of British conservatism in a flesh suit.

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years. As an aide-mémoire for next time.

Sorry, but I find this the most incredible gaslighting. I now have to ASSUME that a Times headline is so totally unrepresentative of the content and views therein and I cannot criticise that framing, chosen deliberately by her employer, unless I PAY them to read the full article? Fuck. Right. Off.
