If you’re willing to say, out loud, that it’s “worse” to rape a 5 year old than a 14 year old, this was never about protecting kids.

The whole thing is an embarrassing stunt, and is frankly quite sickening in the current environmental & geopolitical context.

Today, Katy Perry became a space tourist, emitting as much carbon as someone does over their ENTIRE LIFETIME.
No scientific gains were sought through this flight. Just pandering to rich folks.
Don’t come at me saying this was for female equality. It was not. It is bullshit.

The DWP exaggerated a 50% rise in sick/disabled claimants into 383% — got called out, then quietly edited the press release two weeks later.
No apology. No correction note.
Misleading the public to justify cuts. Again.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

We're gonna hear a lot about how that 10% is 'good' for the UK. Only really stupid people will say this. Ministers better not go down that road, cos all the tax rises and spending cuts we're going to need in a global trade war will look pretty weird when we're supposed to have done 'well'.

It is impossible to overstate the historical and economic ignorance of the current president of the United States. No national chief executive has put the country on a path to disaster so decisively or so quickly.

Anyone else feel like every attempt you make to work towards building something positive - whether personally or on a community level - is just constantly torn down by the relentless juggernaut of collective human self-destruction?

You couldn't make this shit up.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
