Finally we know, after Brat Summer comes John Cale Winter

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

many benefits are household claims. imagine you're british and your spouse has ILR, and you're told that you're being denied benefits because your spouse is from "other parts of the world and they can leave". imagine if you lose your job and your spouse can't claim jobseekers, so you end up homeless

“The rule would not apply to EU nationals with settled status in the UK, as their right to receive benefits forms part of post-Brexit arrangements with the bloc”

I really shouldn’t have to say this but using “His mom prob took Tylenol” as a way to insult fascists is wrong on so many levels.
1. Autistic adults are not unfeeling. In fact, many have more compassion than average neurotypical adults.
2. Autism is NOT caused by Tylenol.
3. Stop blaming women.
