In 1972, a cat commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These kittens promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune @thatwriterguy@mastodon.social

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.
But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.
Good night.

What are the rules of the Enhanced Games? Do athletes *have* to take a banned substance? Do they have to declare it? Are there races for different drug categories?

I would add one thing: we are bombarded with two claims: 1) the UK can leave the ECHR without lowering human rights protection and 2) the ECHR significantly limits what the government can do and hence the UK has to leave it.
These cannot both be true. /1

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does.
E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.

“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the spray-painted bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday. Continue reading...

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

Tylenol in pregnancy doesn’t cause autism.
There isn’t an “epidemic of autism”.
Autism is not the fault of the mother or the child.
Whatever they announce tomorrow, it won’t be based in science or truth.
Stay vigilant, follow the science and support the neurodivergent community.
