yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

the big question for me is how will the rules be enforced and what will the penalty be if, for example, one broadcaster or government funds a big campaign trying to solicit bulk voting for their act?

there will be questions over whether this will be enough to appease critics of how Eurovision has handled the contest over the past couple of years, and this will be discussed at the General Assembly at the beginning of December. It remains to be seen who takes part in Eurovision 2026.

I go through this routine every few months, give up and just take it to the charity shop. I think ultimately unless i reckon i've got something super valuable/designer It's just not worth the effort of vinted vs taking it to a charity shop

If I had to describe the fairly modest moves in the gilt market today, I would say it is a bit like the feeling of slightly needing the toilet after half an hour in the swimming pool.

also - it will be a different actor. Noone will be expecting continuity from the last film. Re cast all the main characters and do whatever story you want.
