A lot of people are saying "hypnoboobs", but nobody's saying "howpnoboobs". Shameful.
I have to speak my truth: you can't call Zack Polanski "Hypnoboobs"
Calling him "Hypnotits" is funny because it's a reference to the fact that he once claimed hypnosis can make breasts bigger and, crucially, it sounds like "hypnosis"
"Hypnoboobs" does not sound like it, it doesn't work
Thank you

The same Oxford Labour leader who “forced” the LD/Green admin to create a citizens assembly on transport. They wanted to give “residents more say”.
That assembly of residents strongly backed a congestion charge (74%).

Leader of the Labour group on Oxfordshire County Council, Liz Brighouse, added: “Residents will now have to either pay a congestion charge to get around their own community, or go miles around the bypass which is already congested. This decision is unacceptable.”

I'm an epidemiologist so I try to use specific and accurate terms lest people draw the wrong conclusions, but also I have looked around and noticed that people with Long Covid and people who have recently lost someone are offended when people refer to Covid in past tense, so I don't.

around the whole of the north-west there are ten hotels housing asylum seekers. in britain as a whole there are just over 200 (of roughly 10,000 hotels). the number of people seeking asylum in the uk is said to be c.32k, 0.045% of the population. people are being manipulated by the gutter press.

I think feeling a feeling is important: feelings do things. Feeling the difficult ones like: shame, worry, anger, sad are absolutely necessary when it comes to witnessing the murder and starvation in Palestine. I sometimes wonder what extent people are going to in order to avoid these feelings.

There's definitely an interesting thing happening where liberal figures seem to go either way when faced particularly with either (but not only) Palestine and Trans rights. Thankfully I'm seeing more cases of Maugham and Lineker who are being pushed left by how obviously awful media/politicians are.
I could never have imagined, before I started doing this work, that I would come to believe what I now do: in the sheer ugliness, venality and dishonesty, of Britain's media and institutions and politicians. They literally do not give a fuck. Sorry to those who know I should have got here sooner.

We are fighting and supporting multiple FOIA battles to reveal the truth about the deaths of these kids - and Wes Streeting is dumping vast legal resources into preventing the truth from emerging. More important, for him, than the lives of children is that he not be politically embarrassed.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

As a Jew I am far, FAR more alarmed by our institutions equating me and other Jews with the IDF, who are responsible for the murder of over 80,000 Palestinians, by dint of framing any critique against the IDF as ‘antisemitism.’
Linking all Jews to the IDF is *actual* fucking antisemitism.

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

We need a category for "I saw something on TV/outside, I should write a weird little song about it"

2. I have a good vehicle
