Star Trek transporter problem has no solution except “you died when we killed you and rebuilt you somewhere else”. its a bad idea so lets stop pretending we can philosophy our way out of it.
no dummy you were killed when the spaceship killed you and the version of you thats ”you“ is 14 seconds old

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Come on now people, you KNOW Streeting REALLY doesn’t want you to keep sharing it widely and at every possible opportunity.

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely.
Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

Someone will get seriously hurt in that place soon. It's the most uncomfortable and oppressive building I've ever worked in, and entirely unfit for purpose. Too hot, too cold, full of mice, stinks of damp, the basements are cable spaghetti. The whole thing is a tinderbox.

I don’t care that we’ve bought a house with money, I think everyone should just have a house for free. I think it’s wild that the main argument isn’t “that would be impossible because xyz”, it’s “well I HAD to buy MY house, so others should to”.
Nah idc, I want other people to be able to live???

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Even if they claim some bogeyman wants to do it too.

People who need asylum should be granted durable forms of protection. Making people re-apply for refugee status every couple of years not only adds to the bureaucratic costs (since people’s risk of persecution rarely changes so quickly) but it also enhances the trauma of people who just need safety.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
