@roddreher A great example of Betteridge's law of headlines.

@CharlieFBBaker1 My Kindle edition of Athestone, from 2013, doesn't have that passage.

@Microsoft365 When will the button to disable CoPilot in Word on a Mac arrive? It's supposed to be there in version 16.93, according to your support pages, but it DOESN'T EXIST. The icon is driving me mad and ruining my productivity.

@roddreher @RupertLowe10 Rod, you've always written about how much you hate bullying mobs. Please don't enthusiastically cheer one on now. Listen to the journalist Andrew Norfolk, who your counterpart who originally investigated the story. https://t.co/jMODaKVdgt

@kayaburgess This is crazy. I suppose anyone who has been relying on the news coverage rather than reading the Makin report itself will assume that he covered up abuse. But I'm horrified that they would take a public step like this without checking the actual facts.

@thevicarswife @stephen_wigmore He was made Area Dean under the previous bishop, wasn't he?

@Capn_Nancy @moveincircles Victoria and Albert, e.g.

@moveincircles I think gay marriage is a stronger argument for disestablishment than assisted dying, but neither is strengthened by snide remarks about Welby.

[spiderlily @ariadne_net]

@moveincircles Welby is on record as being opposed to assisted dying. George Carey, that darling of the Daily Mail, is absolutely pro.

@junk_account2 @ukcalkins @moveincircles That was the wrong screenshot. Deleted now. The correct one is here.

@ukcalkins @moveincircles The official forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility on the fiscal impact of migration in the next five years is that it will probably be net positive, not negative, with very little effect on welfare spending. https://t.co/J9pDciaCJJ

@SimonDav77 @moveincircles My bad: 0.189%.

[spiderlily @ariadne_net]

@SimonDav77 @moveincircles Long-term (mostly work, study, and family) immigration in 2023 was an estimated 1,218,000 people. If there were around 2,300 successful cases of recourse to public funds, that's a whopping 0.00189% of immigrants. Truly, a massive loophole.

[spiderlily @ariadne_net]

@SimonDav77 @moveincircles This is rarely granted. https://t.co/biHkxSRT4H

[spiderlily @ariadne_net]

@SimonDav77 @moveincircles Approximately 5%, of which very few can be expected to require recourse to public funds, because of the high minimum income requirement to sponsor a family visa.
