Two years. I can't believe it. What a disgusting time. What a horrific time. We live in the age of monsters, and all we can hope for is to finally defeat some of them. Free palestine.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
Labour’s tough new rules will not apply to migrants already in UK

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

The UN still hasn't declared Israel is committing genocide - it's a commission of inquiry, meaning it is an independent mandated fact-finding report. The UN itself are yet to use the word genocide. We can't stop pressuring them to do so.

Graham Linehan's arrest was the good news we needed today, but it needs to be reported as "suspicion of inciting hate", instead of "just three X tweets". When people feel comfortable typing hate on their keyboards, you soon see others emboldened to burn down asylum hotels. It's never just tweets.

I mentor young queer migrant students, who have talked to me about the apprehension they feel when applying for graduate visas. Now this is another hit on their anxiety.
But why do bright young people have to take their skills and dreams elsewhere? What are we gaining by losing them?
Another day, yet ANOTHER stupid, pointless announcement on immigration from this stupid pointless government.

Today: you are a student - we're going to write you a stern letter about how you better not be thinking of staying!

Is anyone shocked that the "we risk becoming an island of strangers" guy likes that racists intimidate vulnerable people with flags?
NEW: Keir Starmer has said he hangs the English flag in his home and 'always sits front of a Union Jack'

He told the BBC: 'I'm very encouraging of flags. I think they're patriotic and a great symbol of our nation.'
