I'd suggest the same to you.

It's not necessarily the exact wording I'd use to describe it, but the thing I take it to describe is atheists who come from a cultural context in which Christian belief and practice far outweighs that of other religions, and for whom such culture is the assumed default.

If you want to talk about strawmen, where are you getting the idea that she's talking about *all* atheists? Why, then, the need to specify "Christian-centric"? She's clearly addressing a subset which she understands to have a limited framework with which to conceptualize religion and its absence.

The situation is made even worse by government policies and rhetorics. Traffickers use it to tell young people that they are the only ones who can be trusted. "Look at what they are saying about you. They want to lock you up...". Guaranteed that Mahmood's hostility last week will be being used now.

Booooo

Like, the only surprise has been how enthusiastically they've done Reform's work for them. I expected them to be shite, but not to so efficiently lay the groundwork for the ascendent far right while simultaneously shooting themselves in both feet.

Yes, it's been pretty tiresome reading all the "it's hard to believe Labour approval is so low a mere X days into their leadership" stories, given that it was plainly obvious from day one that the last general election was lost by the Conservatives rather than won by Labour.

But you're absolutely right – as far as I can tell, there's really no practical benefit to it for general use. There would be some limited application to having displays integrated into windows, but it would be exactly that: a window with a feature, not the way all screens are now.

It's not just handheld devices; see-through screens in general is a visual shorthand for "futuristic". I guess it's a way of taking the mundane and changing it enough to make it feel unfamiliar in a visually striking way, while keeping it recognizable enough to know what it is.

Exactly. Even if you want to go down the cynical "whatever it takes to win" route, you have to be able to convince the electorate that you believe what you're saying, which is by no means a universal skill among politicians. Nobody likes feeling like they're voting for an empty vessel.

Getting very tired of the tech bros making their inability to grapple with mortality everyone else's problem.

I'm sad I never got a picture of it.

When we first started going out, my partner lived in this flat which could most kindly be described as "bohemian". The kitchen wall had an intricate pattern of damp that acted as a bit of a Rorschach test. There was an upside-down giraffe and a devil face half-hidden in shadow.

The amount of stress and frustration that Clare O'Connor and Amber Sutherland gave Epstein because they showed up on the first page of Google is beautiful
