My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I love this random exoplanet youtuber who starts all of his videos like "for those of you who've been living under a ROCK" and then talks about the most obscure shit.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Thousands of years have passed since these once-loyal warriors of the Emperor fell to darkness. Since then, the Night Lords eagerly accepted their nature as sadistic renegades whose primary weapon is terror. And you're destined to witness their cruel art in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy.

It's rather more nuanced than the headline. Daunt doesn't rule it out but is rather unenthusiastic... 'booksellers naturally recoil...'

Calculated clickbait. Note 'would' is conditional, read on and...
"as long as they were clearly labelled*, and if customers wanted them. However, James Daunt, a veteran of the bookselling industry, said he personally did not expect that to happen."
*which tech companies have already refused to do.

The true scandal is not the fact that people with ADHD are seeking diagnosis but how many people waiting for diagnoses *actually have one* and are simply being refused treatment.

I got lucky because I had a good GP who put me through and somehow got me service in a year, and psych meds in 6 months. But like before her I was told it was 5 years, and they were pretty dismissive tbh. I don't even talk about the gender clinic. I havent even got on rhe system yet and I despair.
The NHS: "Health sec, there is too much demand for autism, ADHD and mental health services, the waiting lists are too long, we need investment!"
Wes Streeting: "Hearing you loud and clear! Let's have a review into how we can stop people accessing those services to cut the load :3"

The duality of 'oh wow I have so much to read!' and 'OH NO I HAVE SO MUCH TO READ' when going into a very established setting with decades of publications. Yes, this is about Warhammer 40k. No I'm not crying over the list of books I want to read that is now like probs contain over 50 books.
