Hurray - this must be a relief

I’m nitpicking - it’s warmth and humour set it above most. And having also come to it late it’s possible it predated a lot of that actually becoming the formula

Firefly I do like though it’s fairly formulaic in character make up (though aren’t they all - the troubled maverick boss whose bark is worse than his bite, the sexy one, the brute, the science one, the funny one). I wonder if it would have achieved such cult status if it had continued.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

There was a deadly terror attack on a synagogue here just over a week ago; for many Jewish people it was what they had long feared. The next day, the Labour DPM was booed and heckled at the vigil. I’d be more surprised if a Labour DL candidate wasn’t asked for her views on the context tbh

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

“Chris Distefano said that he didn’t want to do it, but that his fiancee had instructed him to “take that fucking money”.”

What a gallant fellow, making out that the person you’re engaged to is a money hungry witch. What a nice chap.

I see Robert Jenrick is supporting Hamit Coskun who is appealing his conviction by reference to the ECHR (which Jenrick wants to withdraw from).

Who knew that the ECHR could be useful, even to the anti-ECHR Hard Right?

I've said it before: anyone who runs down the job that teachers do, even for such nakedly political reasons rather than from any real place of conviction, (a) should try surviving even a fucking WEEK of it themselves and (b) should then go to the bottom of a well.

Greg Jenner @gregjenner.bsky.social · 6d

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers
