Public opinion can shift quickly during international crises, but American airstrikes on Iran do not start with public backing. Even Republicans are relatively lukewarm.

The courts judgement needs careful consideration to understand its impact. Trans voices were not included yet this ruling affects them most. That’s deeply troubling.

The immensely frustrating thing here is that this opinion hinges on the immutability of sex (to tie all trans people to our "birth sex") while also acknowledging the mutability of sex to justify the exclusion of transitioned men from single-sex spaces.
Degendering for everyone!

The actor Sam West gave a wonderful speech defending arts spending at an anti-austerity march in 2011, and one line I remember frequently is “Sometimes the bottom line isn’t the bottom line. Some things are worth it anyway.”

It's a tricky award this year for the Spectator really. You see, Keir Starmer took his party from one of its worst results of all time to a landslide majority. Ed Davey multiplied his party's seats by a factor of 9. Nigel Farage put his party on the map in a way it hadn't been before. Who to pick

People need to stop using being autistic as an excuse for being an arsehole. It just embeds misleading stereotypes.
Yes, being autistic can mean you find social interactions difficult, I know I can.
It doesn't mean you default to walking around with a sock on your c**k.
