@LolRacists @HLeeHurley Good grief

@anon_opin This is 100% my experience. Not one teacher explained any of the rules of football, they just assumed everyone was born with that knowledge, and the same goes for how to paint or draw

@danceswithgoths @guardiannews You're confusing euthanasia and assisted dying. They are two very different things. No one is suggesting we give power to the state to kill citizens.

[Stephen 🌱 @stibsy]

@guardiannews He's right. In the same way that a woman has the right to choose what to do with her body apropos abortion, we should all have the option to choose whether we avoid a prolonged suffering and choose to end our life on our own terms. The state has no place in bodily autonomy.

@bubbotron3000 @tinyreviews_rp @jaseokundaye Those economics work for groceries but not homes where demand increasing quicker than supply.
In 2017 20% of UK homes were in the private rental sector but after a barrage on landlords that fell to 18.8% in 2023. Average house price in that period rose 17% when CPI was only 12%

@jonburkeUK @McAfee Norton is exactly the same. Daily pop ups, opportunities to upgrade, warning about itself rather than any risk. It's so high maintenance. Moved to Norton cos McAfee was so awful but it turns out they are as bad as each other. MS Defender for me when current subscription expires.

@ProfDaveAndress Our generation in the UK is one of the luckiest in history. Grandparents and their ancestors fought in wars and endured poverty. Younger generations are going to have to face the consequences of climate change and the rise of fascism. We are in a very privileged historical lull

@wdytyamagazine @Brad_Argent The John Simm and Phil Glenister episode was superb and so well put together. They could have easily played it for shock value, but it was sensitive, classy, funny, and touching

@Janana58 @cristo_radio @lorrainemking CPI over same period was 13%, so housing rose comparatively more than other goods and services even though landlords were leaving the sector

@Janana58 @cristo_radio @lorrainemking The economics work for commodities but not homes where demand increasing quicker than supply. In 2017 20% of UK homes were in the private rental sector but after initial barrage on landlords that fell to 18.8% in 2023. Average house in England in 2023 was £285k up 17% from 2017

@Janana58 @cristo_radio @lorrainemking More people will be able to buy as properties move from rented to owner-occupied, but price is unlikely to come down as there is a backlog of first time buyers (evidenced by average age of first time buyers and property price trend both increasing)

@Thomasa1551 @JaneyGodley Yeah, it's attitudes like that probably led to the original statement about Trump, with a double down on the T shirt. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure your case for the defence is going that well fella.

[Stephen 🌱 @stibsy]

@Thomasa1551 @JaneyGodley Trump has golf courses in Scotland where some of the locals really don't want them. So unfortunately, Trump is one of our country's problems

@JaseyKirky @fesshole Underrated tweet

For my birthday I asked everybody to come prepared with a PowerPoint presentation about any topic they wanted and BY GOD THEY FUCKING DELIVERED. These are just some highlights 🧵

Imane is biologically female and identifies as a woman, but Rowling's tweet calling her a man is still up. Why?

TERFs are the real misogynists. They reinforce notions of "protecting" traditional femininity by policing who is/isn't female within inherently patriarchal binaries.

Team LGBT+ (all the 195 out athletes) finished in 7th place at this year’s Olympics – their most medals ever

They won 42 medals, consisting of 15 gold medals, 13 silver & 14 bronze - more than any country that criminalise LGBTs. Bravo!
