We used to be able to go on a bike ride to the next county 15 miles away, using the main roads, without an adult, and no one would care.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Looks like Grok is happy to talk to me about Warhammer 40k army lists, but not about creating pornographic deepfakes of children

I’ve had thought Reform would be well up for a clearly pro natalist policy.
Or are they like a all far right parties - they want (white) women to have more kids. But don’t gibe a shit about them once they are born.

So we knew the US had decided it no longer wants to be a maritime and mercantile empire based on military alliances and global free trade.
Now we know its decided it wants to be a 19th century style continental, colonial power.
It won’t end well for anyone.

We found similar findings from Scittish projects making direct payments to care experienced young people and people living with dementia in Scotland.
Funnily enough both groups can and ro make excellent decisions about their needs and how the money can help them meet them.

Spoiler: They used the money just as wisely as anyone else would, and it's so frustrating that this still isn't a common sense assumption to make.

This shit has been going on for 7 years now. No one in any UK govt, tory or lab can actually make a grown up, serious decision about what we do now post brexit.
So we continue in this purgatory of stagnation and decay, a country with no clue about what it wants to be, or what to do to get there.

Apparently engaging with the EU is all about economics, while also avoiding freedom of movement. Sigh.
Anyone hoping to rejoin has a very very long wait.
Frankly, if you're a rejoiner over 50, I'd suggest taking up stamp collecting or bird watching instead. It'll be more fulfilling.

Lolling at the ludicrousness of the orange manbaby suing the BBC for $10bn. This is literally Trump suing the UK taxpayer, expecting us to cough up $10bn into his back pocket.
There is no way in this world that any UK Government could allow that to happen. They’d pass legislation to stop it.

That’s an interesting interpretation of Jack Reacher…
No idea what telly Lord Sewell is watching, because I can't think of a single show with this plotline let alone it being something that is inescapable for young white men who subsequently now face a crisis of masculinity drawing them to the far right?? 🙃

Anyone else drowning in peer review journal article requests at the moment. I’ve honestly lost count of the number I’ve received in the last week.
I’m happy to do as many as I can but at this rate it’d become a full time job to do them all.
