I personally think it’s helpful in society to provide training/teaching for doctors and scientists and philosophers and writers and judges etc. etc.!

Very glad, for example, that someone invented penicillin! Very glad, for another example, that someone learnt how to make video games look beautiful!
"They want to spend YOUR taxes on someone else's education!"

GOOD! That's exactly what it should be fucking spent on.

No word of a lie, I met a friend of a friend who was named Ned Kelly once (yes, named after). He was on Brick Lane, had ridiculous hair and jewellery, and I was either just finishing or about to start teaching yoga that afternoon.
Ned Kelly looking like he’s about to open a toast cafe in Shoreditch.

Stopped to get on the taxi queue and an arsehole berated me for getting in his way and called me a “fat girl”. It will shock you that when I challenged him for being an arse he was even lovelier. Anyway, I’m hai g a great time travelling into London for an evening lecture - how are things for you!?

There needs to be a way to say at some point "come on you're just abusing the process now with your evangelical donation money when the local community have made an abundantly clear stand for trans inclusion. Fuck off and stay fucked off".

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

I know attention is on the US/Greenland, and it’s hard to get proper news from Iran, but this from @christinalamb.bsky.social estimates at least 16,000 people have been killed and over 300,000 injured. Many (most?) victims are thought to be under the age of 30

Iran report says 16,500 dead in ‘genocide under digital darkness’

Alarming issue: I am extremely anxious and for some reason the tv has decided that all streaming services aren’t working 😳

Kid the Younger has now gotten his heart surgery date, coming up in three weeks time.

If you could send us happy and funny and brave surgery stories, a worried little kid would love to hear them.

Had a sudden nostalgic moment recalling this style of braid I used to do as a kid - made a little ring up.

all of these maps are like when you've been drinking since 11am and around 8pm think you're up to doing a pub quiz. of course that's where the southern ocean is, it's south, there's an ocean somewhere down there, seems fine
ChatGPT has just given up here. We have the Minster and Clifford's Tower. Street names are random, although I like that it's renamed Coppergate as Willygate!

I don’t know the right/wrong way to respond to Ye, but, for what it’s worth, mental illness can make you lose touch with reality. It is quite hard to have frameworks to deal with this when you also have bad actors weaponising this reality, but it is still the case!
Ye, fka Kanye West, takes out a full-page in the Wall Street Journal to apologize to the Black community, and for antisemitism:

“I lost touch with reality”

There's something absolutely remarkable about how the Labour right will look at the USA'sv militarised police system tearing into its own population and still think "we really need to associate ourselves with this, it's so cool."

Hmm, entering a little midnight shame spiral. This seems unhelpful.

They did this with the last summary execution too - inviting government propagandists on for interviews and then concluding that because the government say one thing and independent analysts say another, we can never truly say what happened.

It’s an insane thing to witness.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

If you need some extra distraction from *gestures broadly at everything,* Kilauea is here to help. The next eruptive episode, episode 41, looks to be kicking off right now! Fountains are starting to grow in height.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Ahaha this feels a little like when I first got a MacBook and I dragged ‘Settings’ into the bin, and then thought it won’t actually delete it if I press Delete Forever, and it turns out it did!

An autistic woman is reportedly unable to choose between letting people walk all over her, resulting in self-loathing, or being so assertive that everyone gets mad at her, resulting in self-loathing.
