I’m not British, but the UK is the country where I’ve spent the most time outside of the US. Out of curiosity, I did the tax calculator, and I have to say as a high income individual…oh the horrors! Also, fitting that the biggest increase would be on wine

Everyone needs to wee and poo every day.
Access to toilets should simply be a public health and accessibility issue and not dependent on other people’s views of how much you “look like” a man or a woman.
The EHRC has no clue about equalities and their priorities are shamefully discriminatory.

I just had my wisdom teeth taken out this morning. Not a fan of the pain, but only being able to eat soft foods like yogurt or apple sauce for a few days sounds like a great little snap diet before my trip to PV for Thanksgiving 😅

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.
Sad day for NZ trans youth.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

This is the Economic Multiplier Effect, which has been widely studied. For every $100 spent with local independent businesses, it generates $143 in local economic activity. SNAP gives recipients incentives to shop at farmers' markets, which is a big benefit for the local economy generally

The YouTube trend I can't stand: people hand-holding big studio microphones in videos for some sort of faux authenticity. You can afford to spend $300+ on a mic, but don't have a mic stand? It makes no sense

RIP to an incredible advocate and activist, who did so much for all of the LGBTQ+ community. Major was at Stonewall when the uprising started, before either Marsha or Sylvia. She lived most of her life in poverty, and never really got her due, but never stopped fighting for others.
Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

So they are adding new wrinkles to the #KavanaughStops
Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.
As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
