by the by I've said before and I'll say again - I don't agree with the "we need them kids off them screens" values of the boomers. screens are great for a plethora of reasons.
But if you do want kids off screens and making friends offline then you need to address the reasons they've 'retreated'.

ps. it is arguable that Brianna would not likely have turned to social media for friendships and transitional support had those things been readily available in her local area.
@charlotte2153.bsky.social you want kids like Brianna off her phone? then give them a better alternative.

i think the most sick thing about govt going all in on Esther's phone shit after her daughter was murdered in a crime which had not nothing to do with phones
... is that I spoke to Brianna's friends. On Tiktok. They were everything to her - you want to take that away from other kids like Brianna?

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

Dems are like well we may have lost the battle but at least we lost the war
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

People usually don't believe me when I tell them that in medieval England, prison was really only a place you were put while awaiting a trial, awaiting punishment, or for debt.
Prison wasn't for punishment or rehabilitation. Punishment was either a fine, execution (gulp) or public shaming.

So what did other cultures do before prisons.
Prisons were only for people you could not kill...and those people were captives or hostages essentially. Royals. People with money and/or allies.
Aztecs would enslave you, but the word 'slavery' means LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS. Aztec 'slavery' ...

yeah it's quite wild to think that PRISONS were ...a reform from maiming people or killing them.
