she has to resign
this is not funny, *especially* if you are the fucking Home Secretary, with the actual fucking power to unilaterally deprive *anyone* of citizenship
Irrespective of anything else, Shabana Mahmood should have to resign for going on Matt Forde's podcast

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
Im a historian and can think of very few good reasons why anyone would know Oswald's 1939 speeches by heart
Omggggg

Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.
It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.
8% of adults in England and Wales faced domestic violence last year. A quarter of those were stalked by the perpetrator.
And the council still insists on publishing names and addresses together on the internet, except for its councillors, due to, you know, the risks
This is the crux for me. It’s not about whether Starmer knew about the failed vetting; it’s that Starmer created a situation where the appointment didn’t allow for failed vetting
Not to be a broken record, but why on earth is Ed Balls there interviewing his wife's work colleagues about a scandal involving the government department she currently runs?
Good day at the gym for her & everyone who had the privilege to watch!

So Palantir are like Fascist fascists i see yeah maybe we shouldn’t integrate the nazi computer into the NHS
I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company. I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish. But after this... anyone still working there...
Nothing is more reassuring that a guy who dodges simple questions while his eyes dart evasively around the room.
An org named after a riot proudly stating they want a kinder quieter debate is a real sign of it being successfully quelled
It is one thing to pick your battles, another to make nice with your opponents
Dugdale "says she is now “quite scared” as a lesbian in Britain".
But respects someone who is largely responsible for people now policing women's spaces and dictating what a woman should look like, thereby making spaces less safe for lesbians or women who dare to look androgynous or masculine.
"Hung Up" made its world debut for the very first time in a September 2005 TV ad for the Motorola ROKR phone, made in collaboration with Apple and featuring an iTunes tie-in. The "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" sample hadn't been cleared yet.

As part of Slate’s commemoration of my 100th episode of #HitParadePod, this week EIC Hillary Frey interviewed me for her weekly Friday email to Slate Plus members. It was fun reminiscing about how charts have changed, why Casey Kasem mattered, favorite HP episodes and my recent musical comfort food.

You ever notice how in the Superman the Movie poster, he's got one fist out, and on Superman II he's got two fists out? Well BUCKLE UP, I gave him three and four fists for Superman III and Superman IV, respectively. Hilarious!
They're cowards for not doing this.
RIGHT? I think that made me the most angry, oddly enough
