We have such a ridiculous attitude towards driving. Having a licence is not a right, and it should be denied if you can't be trusted to do it. One thing that always annoys me is that driving is the only discipline where you're treated more leniently if you need to do it for your job.
You might think that a man who drove into 100 people, using his car as a weapon, would NEVER be allowed to drive again.
It turns out he will be able to, around three years after leaving prison by taking an extended retest.
Why should he ever be able to get behind the wheel again?

So I'm basically a car person and I essentially agree with this. There is no excuse for not having low speed limits and enforcement in urban driving. Where I think the frustration is, in the UK at least, is the proliferation of really pointless 30mph limits on what are basically semi-rural roads
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

This Times article is the sort of egregious propagandising lies that really needs to carry very serious consequences, but won't. I would however be happy to contribute if the wronged parties here did want to try to ruin some wankers
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

I remain fairly convinced that the Labour govt is composed of two types of people who know they're in government and want to do bad stuff, and people who don't even realise they are in government
Fucking state of this. Acting like they are completely powerless to do anything since the SC judgement.
Any new way of including people without amending the Equality Act will just be all-new segregation, now with added ‘dignity and respect’.

I'm continually amused that the language of car reviewer YouTube often involves phrases like "Living with [incredible car]" as if driving around in a 911 GT3 Touring is like having IBS or something. Just incredible use of language.

See this is very clever - kids hate to be seen doing the same things adults do, and so because kids now see adults constantly bullying kids, they don't do it so much. Genius when you think about it
it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools
My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

This is very important. For all their total capture of media institutions and so on, they cannot *make* the average person in the street want to call the police on us using the toilet. They can't make people want to kill us, sooner or later they have to get their own hands dirty.
I keep coming back to this, because it is important to keep in mind, I think, given recent goings-on re: trans exclusion. The culture has changed *a lot* over the past 20 years and transphobes won't be able to undo that with politics, billionaire lawfare, transphobic EHRC guidance, or whatever.
I think this prediction is holding up pretty well, and maybe I should have noted the failure of the Turn Charlie Kirk Into A Martyr moment might have been the pinnacle of the phenomenon. In some deep way I think the New Right Loser Men fail to understand what state power can and can't do for them.

This, but also it's about making the participation of trans people in society in the remaining cases so suspicious and unusual that someone else kills us
you cannot understand the anti-trans movement without understanding the goal is to morally mandate trans people out of existence. it's not about opportunities or safety or sporting integrity. it's about making life as miserable as possible for trans people in the hope they kill themselves.
Trans children denied participation in society because of the Supreme Court and EHRC. To attack us adults is one thing but to attack children is another. The UK needs to lose its GANHRI A accreditation.
