Professor of Marketing, Scott Galloway, says the problem with men these days is they don't pay for everything on dates? And so women won't have sex with them?
I see we are regressing to the 1960s where we have to explain women don't owe you sex.

Am earnest compliment that I gave a friend following a fine performance this evening, that also unintentionally sounds like an insult:
"You were a great lesbian from the 50s"

We were attacked by fascists on Saturday.
On Saturday, the Aberdeen Trades Union Council held its annual St Andrew's Day parade along with community groups and refugees. It was explicitly a march against fascism, so we were expecting fascists to show up. And they did.

This is an excellent point. If someone grows and grows and grows, but it's causing them discomfort or even pain, we would try and address that as a problem.
This should be the same for companies as well.
This should be the same for companies as well.
GROWTH SHOULD NEVER BE THE MARKER OF SUCCESS. HAPPY STAFF MEMBERS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS IS THE ONLY REAL MARKER OF SUCCESS.
And you only get those things by focusing on quality, not growth.
Growth INHERENTLY cannot sustain itself. You know what grows unchecked? Cancer.

All these TERF agitators have the media lining up to bill them as "feminists" and "champions of women" when a massive part of their time seems to be spent on bullying women's and girls' groups and going over their heads to have legal actions forced on them against the will of the actual membership.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

btw @naniiebim.bsky.social - how much hot water are we meant to put into those sachets of instant congee? 👀 Because the importer of the ones I bought very helpfully plastered their information all over the cooking instructions 😅
