my dad didn’t go to university and he was extremely happy to pay taxes for his four children to do so; and, indeed, for the doctors who treated him at Addenbrookes to have gone to university as well.
Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

Gandalf's "a wizard is never late, nor is he early" and Kesha's "Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in" are essentially the same sentiment

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

From Other People’s Money: The Real Business of Finance by John Kay
![The John Kay of the 1980s, transported twenty-five years forward in time, would not be able to afford to buy the house I still live in, would have incurred substantial debt in higher education, would have to make greater provision for his own retirement and would look ahead to a tax burden inevitably rising to meet the costs of an increasingly adverse demography. When Jeff Skilling [The Enron CEO] toasted the capitalisation of energy contracts in champagne, he was celebrating the twin benefits of the prudence of his predecessors and his own imprudence in relation to his successors. And I could join him in that toast. Lucky indeed to have lived through the era of financialisation." - Other People's Money: The Real Business of Finance](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tiaodgr5mu3iyiqiwfunedxw/bafkreiemokwo53ncrvoiaqfin5rgxqlxlitrvpnf2qq6dtpginjhduzdda@jpeg)

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

He gave us 'you can't handle the truth', 'I'll have what she's having', 'My name is Inigo Montoya (etc)' AND 'it goes up to 11'. How many other directors can claim that? A terrible loss.

contra the way this is being reported, her claim here is being partially upheld *purely* on the basis that the board didn't adhere to proper procedure. the case also found that dr upton was *correct* in saying that peggie had harassed her, and that upton had the right to be in the changing rooms.
Sandie Peggie's claims against Upton dismissed & most of her claims against NHS Fife are dismissed. Questions remain for NHS Fife over the process they pursued, which led to Peggie's harassment claim being partially upheld.
The tribunal ruled Upton's use of female changing facilities not unlawful.

I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there.

Wedding rings. they are going to exempt wedding rings from their thieving. How very eurocentric and heterosexist of them. No other jewelry can have meaning of course.
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.
