Can we stop blaming the Lindsay Clancy jury? These are 12 people unlucky enough to have their numbers pulled. They sat for weeks listening to the most heartbreaking and devastating case imaginable. Then they were handed a web of complicated legal options like second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and not guilty by reason of insanity, and expected to kumbaya their way to a unanimous verdict.

If this case was a slam dunk it would have been a plea deal. It is incredibly complicated and reasonable people can disagree. These poor people were basically held captive, paid fifty bucks a day, and given a crappy deli sandwich on stale bread to show for it. They are not the enemy here.

Trust me, you do not want a justice system that gives judges and the government unlimited power to throw you in jail. Juries serve a crucial purpose whether you like the final result or not.

The whole gist of the 1998 peace agreement is that sovereignty over Northern Ireland is decided by its population. And then the British just say stuff like this - like they have the final say. To the British, NI is simultaneously ‘other’, but ‘ours’.

@GSpellchecker Your wife is amazing, well done to her!

Making something that’s already illegal a more specific offence is peak do-something-ism

The thing about “pregnancy is body horror” is simply that some thoughts are inside thoughts. Your fear and disgust at the state of other people’s bodies does not need to be expressed publicly

[Hi okay @Hiokay_thinking]

@chokeyourself__ How come you people never understand that excluding children from public life is forced isolation of non wealthy women. Like it is functional misogyny even if you don’t think it is. Also dogs can be left alone, small children can’t,

[coral @carebearxs]

I have no respect or sympathy for people who hate children even if they're women. your reproductive rights aren't being taken away by children, they are being taken away by adults like you who don't care about children

[Keifer @DannyVegito]

once you see children as an oppressed group of people, you can’t help but see this sentiment as deeply evil

[bug girl @buggirl]

i hate babies i think they shouldn’t be allowed in public oh what do u mean women who are the majority of primary carers can’t just leave their babies home by themselves well i don’t care they should just stay home and be excluded from society too. i am very feminist and woke

I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.

idk anti-pregnancy women are starting to sound so internally misogynistic it’s weird

[kate ✨ @pulpy_fiction]

people really do forget babies are people. referring to someone as a ‘crotch gremlin’ and speaking about them with such vitriol is just deeply cruel and lacking in empathy for your fellow humans

[ezra 🪲 @clownmp3s]

the way some people talk about babies and children is indicative of who they are, and when they talk like this it’s a clear sign to stAYYYY AWAYYYY

[Cara Lisette @CaraLisette]

Excluding babies from society also includes excluding women from society but nobody is ready for that conversation

The US doing a 'peace and love' dancing children half-time show. How cute! Pity the 168 schoolgirls in Minab didn't live to see it.

[Isaac_kh @isaac_kh]

I think it's cool that during the increasingly regular "freak weather event" that killed nearly as many people as 9/11 the UK media decided we must have a nationwide debate about whether we should actually scrap any moves as a country towards net zero

They will read if you read. Sadly the trick to parenting is almost always making yourself a better person first.

The fact Airbnb is losing revenue isn’t shocking to me . Once hosts started pricing the same or more than hotels didn’t make sense . I rather stay at the hotel with daily housekeeping and room service if that’s the case .
