"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

Husband just appeared to tell me (with a bout of horrified laughter, if you know what that sounds like - I do it a lot myself) that one of the MoE docs he was reading about the new curriculum put Māori, Pacific, and disabled learners in one paragraph at the end. You know, because they're all "other"

Just goes to show how they can easily come up with reasoning to support universal basic income when they want to. Yes, UBI is a dividend for shareholders. As citizens, we are all shareholders.
Also, we ALL created the capital that AI is trained on. We should all be paid a GDP dividend EVERY MONTH.

Musk had a spare $44 billion to buy a social media platform serving as a virtual town square and turn it into a hellsite flooded by bots spouting disinformation and psyops, and spent hundred of millions of dollars to buy the U.S. election.

Time to straighten that back and drop your shoulders. Get that drink you were thinking about an hour ago.
Put on a fun song and get your groove on.
Smile and giggle like a gremlin, make them wonder just what you are doing.
You've got this. You matter. I'm proud of you.
Luv you!

And, reminder, if ANYONE tries to excuse underage rape or sexual assault, you can just straight up say to their face "it's rape of a child" and let them sit with that discomfort.
There are no excuses.
And underage is NOT "barely legal".

Things happen. Heads just fall off bodies. Dismemberments can happen to anyone really. And clearly the question to ask when it comes to murdering a journalist is, "Did you like him?"
This is how the depraved, unprincipled Trump excuses the murder of Jamal Khashoggi : blame the victim.
“A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen,” he says sitting with the culpable MBS.
Sickening and infuriating.
