I need to watch Reacher, but this sounds like the sort of space Banshee occupies in my head.

The old British insult "He has a face for radio"

I've had this done - have they left a load of wadding up your nose with instructions to keep it moist? If so, really don't skimp on the keeping it moist part!

Their headline yesterday was far too wishy-washy. It's slightly better today, but it really still falls short of conveying the deliberately false nature of the report. "Unproven" still gives far too much wiggle room.

I'm in note limbo - it feels like writing with pen/paper is better for my memory retention, but then finding notes afterwards becomes a nightmare. I'd love a search function for paper notes 😆

Also, actual debate is often a great thing, but what the vast majority of these people call "debate" is just a platform for them to lie through their teeth. It has very little to do with actual debate.

No they did not - but it did go into the blind trust. It was only sold after he had finished his time in office.

I feel like the word "familiar" is doing some very heavy lifting in that original post!

Even leaving aside the mis-gendering
fuckery, you're over 18, so they shouldn't be using that term either way. Very bizarre.

I'd be fascinated to know whether this is a case of sloppy legislation, or just that writing competent legislation on this issue is just impossible (the old "if you see it, you know it's porn, but it's almost impossible to actually define it" issue perhaps?)

I’m just waiting for the @dieworkwear.bsky.social critique of what he’s wearing there.

It feels like the appointment of RFK as Secretary of Health in the USA has also undermined a lot of the basis for that trust. Of course, the problem of not believing the government on vaccines predates that, but now, generally smart people have to be careful about what comes out of his department.

I mean it's pretty simple: they do not respect other people enough to value them over their own childish prerogative to say whatever they like to without thinking. bsky.app/profile/zach...
