This is why rape only ever being spoken of in terms of 'strangers and bushes' or psychopaths is so harmful.
Normal people rape. Fathers, brothers, friends. People you've only ever seen be a good person.
That does not excuse them.
That does not minimise what they did.
For years, Topher Grace was depicted like he was a stuck-up asshole for not being besties with the rest of the That '70s Show cast, but guess who didn't write a letter in defense of a rapist this year...
There are 171 billionaires in the UK with a combined wealth of £684 billion. Wealth that has climbed 1000% since the list was first compiled.
The Greens would tax the wealth of the richest 1%. That alone would raise £70bn in revenue for public services.
Essential. Long overdue.
King Charles inherited 45,667 acres across England & Wales, worth around £650ml, generating income of £24ml pa.
He didn’t pay a penny in inheritance tax & only pays income tax if he volunteers.
And we pay him & his family £86ml a year, soon to be £125ml.
It. is. wrong.
The new X tagline “blaze your glory” is seemingly something that Elon Musk completely made up without consulting anyone and is only meaningful to him, which is basically the same as all of his decisions
@AcornManchester LOL
People don't need to be paid to care about and stand up for each other! Is this the only way they could see anyone being bothered to take action? Speaks volumes.
How do you feel about being asked to swear at the coronation, as follows: “I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God”? This is, apparently, to democratise the ritual. What do you think?
Like I'm genuinely fuming, who do they think they are?
Been playing music his whole life but now sitting down to play at the piano makes him twitch so much it's painful. My heart is breaking.
I know it'll be the fame too but having them acting like that must be grim as fuck.
#LewisCapaldi "I've got a twitch now ... I think it's anxiety but I don't know where it's coming from"
Probs from the music industry vultures always ringing you asking where the next song is and ripping apart your lyrics, like you didn't write an INSANE album on your own ffs 😤l
Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

Find your MP's details, Tweet and email them.
Removing our right to protest is authoritarian, fascist nonsense.
Without protest we wouldn't have the vote, weekends, sick pay, or a way to show our dissatisfaction and demand change.
We must fight for it.

Being a scientist, I had to check the math. Turns out it's even worse. You could have made $53,000 (£44,000) a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Shell did in 2022.
