This is genuinely fucking insane. They need to be locked away - the impact on these two girls is lifelong.

Rubio declares that U.S. efforts to negotiate between Russia and Ukraine "has not led to a fruitful outcome for a variety of reasons" and have now "stagnated."

​Really? Maybe they stagnated because the strategy of pressuring the victim to surrender to an aggressor, who would almost certainly murder us under occupation, was stillborn from the start. Perhaps, instead, you could try putting pressure on Russia and arming Ukraine to make this war unbearable for the ones actually choosing to wage it every day?

Saying to husband on way to polling station that I used to LOVE voting. I loved putting my X next to a name, feeling like my voice counted. That I was making some difference. Now I just want to write: ‘You’re all wankers’ over my ballot paper. I didn’t. But I thought about it.

My therapist once said: If you isolate yourself when you’re overwhelmed, you probably learned early on that no one was coming to help you. So you stopped asking and started handling everything alone. Now even when support is there, your first instinct is still to disappear.

why does everyone force introverts to leave their comfort zone but no one forces extroverts to shut up for a while

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end.

Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up.

If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud.

The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain.

You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

"There was no autism when I was in school"

Yeah there was. They were either seen as the "weird kid" or bullied into masking their autistic traits

What I find so blindingly hypocritical is the outrage over Jeffrey Epstein by the left, but not this!
