Interesting! The “quaint” meaning tracks. They were fairly young and looked pretty amazed/surprised that I answered back and was offended.

A group of American tourists in a London park once loudly commented, about adult me, “how cute, she’s reading a book” and were surprised when I was incredulously asked why on earth they thought reading was cute

Oh, I’m so glad you said this. I usually love BK but was so frustrated by Demon Copperhead - hated it, despite trying several times

"There is not a free speech crisis in the UK. Keir Starmer has not shut down GB News," Ruskin says. Farage seems "most at home with the autocrats and dictators of this world", he adds. If he's serious about the Online Safety Act, he should be in parliament, he says, not here.

Absolutely. What on earth did they expect would happen to sick leave and disability benefits with 1) an ongoing severe new respiratory disease 2) long Covid and 3) huge numbers of people dealing with the fallout of the Covid years, with the young most badly affected?

said the person responsible for an unwanted sexual experience was a boy they knew or were friends with.

There’s a Douglas Adams’ bit about humanity being put in stasis by the machines because of a lack of lemon-soaked paper napkins for aeroplanes, waiting for a new civilisation to rise and reinvent them. Which clearly isn’t serving as a warning to the tech bros

And so many things that go wrong - badly wrong like the Grenfell Tower disaster - can be traced back, at least in part, to failure of local authority regulation/functions

They've managed to criminalise legitimate protest and undermine anti-terror laws in one move. They should be goddamned ashamed of themselves.
