They mean well but straight people going “it’s a sign of progress that I didn’t know [insert sportsperson/actor] was gay until now. In a perfect world nobody would have to broadcast it!“ always gets a chuckle out of me.

When praised about this in the interview afterwards, Bruce Mouat said he thought Rebecca Morrison’s shot for the women’s team was better. He is so LOVELY 😭

Having a Scottish twunk furiously scrub the ice in front of you as you slide must feel so good if you’re a curling stone

I wonder how many of the people acting like this woman is some sort of alien also praised Mamdani for the non-policy related stunts he pulled that were fundamentally about making him seem like a friendly, polite young man.

Even outside of transphobia, I am just totally opposed to biological essentialism full stop.
I realise I’m one of the last people in the English speaking world who apparently believes this, but I don’t believe there are pink and blue roles coded into our cells that we should base society

Sonia Sodha is honestly on the wireless saying women are biologically better at rearing children than men. She found a single dad who agreed with her so it's all ok.

It's still baffling to me that South Africa has avoided a revolution despite youth unemployment sitting between 50%-60% for a decade.
To build on Stephen/Nute's points here: We literally saw multiple revolutions driven by young people across the world last year, in part driven by youth unemployment and huge disparity in wealth!
We have a *load* of examples of the outcomes of mass unemployment + connected people + clear target!

If structural unemployment hit even twice as many people as deindustrialisation in the 1980s did, my concern would not be 'will people pay for my words' it would be 'will the political upheaval this causes end really, really badly for me personally?'

I don't know why, but the judge is now citing the historical precedent of Charles I of England. This is an incredibly ominous sign for Yoon.

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny?
NEW: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has appointed Dame Antonia Romeo as the first female Cabinet Secretary and head of the Civil Service, it is understood.

This analysis isn’t “wrong” exactly (although it leaves an awful lot out). It’s just that coming from an MP with three degrees it feels rather condescending. There’s a sort of “noble savages” approach the Labour Party sometimes takes about people without degrees.
You shouldn't need a degree to afford a decent life 🎓
