“Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.”

As so many of us have said so often for a year now, any predatory man already ignoring laws forbidding assault isn't going to obey a 'bathroom ban'. Making life harder for trans people and many others with restrictions which will be impossible to enforce will do nothing to make any women safer.
This is a dance off. If you see this repost a dance, or you are eliminated.
And the warrior beheld the man he had pursued and quoth, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya."
Don't jinx it!
I’d hope that means we get Tracey for a good long time.

I hadn’t spotted that was one of yours. I enjoyed it. Thank you
A split-screen video call shows two people in conversation. On the left, an older man with grey hair and a beard sits in a chair, wearing a dark suit and holding a notebook, listening intently with an earpiece in. On the right, Kemi Badenoch sits in a chair wearing a navy blazer, speaking animatedly with her hands raised as she gestures. Subtitles at the bottom read: “A typical Liberal Democrat will be somebody who is good at fixing their church roof.”
Morning Conservatives ☀️
You know you could totally check the Death by Dying feed right now if you wanted to. You never know, there could be a trailer on there or something. Who’s to say…
An old monochrome picture postcard showing a line drawing of a grand hallway, with an ornate fireplace, an oriel window with stained glass and three young men, two talking and one standing reading. Printed at the foot of the card in fancy script is Oriel and Chimneypiece in Halls, The University of Liverpool

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers.
We focus on the local issues that matter to you.
Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.
Trump is an international gangster whose illegal war has sent fuel costs through the roof.
We must take strong action to Keep Britain Moving.

Three things are correct here:
• The HE institutions should have known and followed the rules and advised applicants accordingly
• The rules are wrong. If these students were studying intensively on Monday, not Saturday they’d have been eligible
• The students should not bear the financial burden
The love of learning As individuals and as a community, we seek to discover new ideas, and understand new perspectives. We pursue both a depth and a breadth of knowledge. We celebrate academic excellence and intellectual challenge. We seek to understand the perspectives of others and we welcome respectful debate, listening to views that may differ from our own with interest and defending our own with reason and humanity.
This week I’m helping run the Student Record Officers Conference in Winchester. Opening from their VC included this, which I really like as principles both for what higher education is about and for the free speech area.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.
The president of the United States is now threatening to commit genocide.
I know I'm fighting against the tides when it comes to engagement of my review, but that's okay; it beats having to deal with the garbage that is X. Still, if you'd spread it around, I would appreciate it. www.vitalthrills.com/star-wars-ma...

As my old boss said, “Staying at Ourgate.”
No better than their Russian allies.

Brian did try it on with Betty Tucker, as I recall. She gave him very short shrift.

Perhaps he will suffer Nelson’s fate.

14th Amendment (1868):
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Seems pretty clear to me.
People can see this for the bullshit it is because of how many people they know who have adhd or autism.
Please, please, please trust trans people when we tell you this is the same bullshit they've been spreading about trans kids.
We believe - on the basis of very good legal advice - that the law doesn't require this. Sadly, Girlguiding haven't taken up Good Law Project's offer of legal support and an indemnity. And it's these young girls who will suffer the consequences.
