I foresee zero consequences for anyone and a netflix documentary.
Since the initial 3 arrests, police have arrested 10 more people (9M, 1F) aged 40-77 for manslaughter.
• A consultant, scaffolding subcontractors, and a middleman were among those arrested
• 2 have been released on bail, the other 8 have been detained for questioning

Honestly I'm not in the slightest bit surprised that Russell Group institutions would fold like origami when presented with even just a mildly influential fascist.
This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

Die Grünen wollen, dass Homöopathie nicht mehr von der Kasse erstattet wird.

Ich finde das ein wichtiges Signal. Es geht nicht nur um die Kosteneinsparung.

Für Homöopathie gibt es keinen Wirknachweis, aber viel Geschwurbel drumrum.

Globuli-Anhänger sind oft Impfgegner und Wissenschaftsleugner.

I want to laugh at this but it's so fucking awful for the poor person who dared to come up to the stage to speak out so bravely. What an utter shitshow.
Yorp conference doing its best to shut down anyone daring to call a transphobe a transphobe.

Embarrassing shithole of a country.
With Rachel Reeves reportedly set to apply a new tax on tuition fees paid by overseas students, most Britons support such a move at the previously mooted level of 6%

Support: 57%
Oppose: 18%

Watching Star Trek Voyager. It's easy to dismiss the Maquis as a niche group of extremists but actually it sounds like quite a big tent.

Anyone who has ever been in the Labour Party will know how utterly rammed with privilege it is. To most of those who succeed internally, poverty is when the fridge runs low on Bollinger.

They are incapable of comprehending true desperation and fear because they will never experience it.
As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

For those unfamiliar with German culture, today is one of those days in the calendar where our state, which is definitely definitely separated from church, imposes criminal penalties if not everybody decides to observe the silent serenity of a Christian holiday.

I don't think he's on here so can't tag him, but I just watched the lovely James Cullimore's talk on building a mobile game for the first time and it was genuinely wonderful, so you should watch it too.

Game is pretty neat too!

Ah yes British patriotism. Not defined by its own merit, but by how much one dislikes others.

If patriotism for your country stands entirely on hatred for others, your patriotism doesn't mean shit. 👍
Why do people think England flags have been raised on lampposts?

White adults
National pride: 26%
Anti-migrant/minority sentiment: 49%
Both: 19%

Ethnic minority adults
National pride: 15%
Anti-migrant/minority sentiment: 55%
Both: 20%

My latest "I probably can't call myself working class anymore" moment:

I saw someone talking about going to Poundland and I assumed they were talking about a hookup.

Not one person would consider that "peace plan" to be acceptable were their own country in Ukraine's place. Not one.

The enshittification is truly real.

Todoist proudly released a load of AI nonsense lately. Asking you to pay far more for it too.

Today you can't access your completed tasks because the endpoint times out with a 503.

Slowly moving to the stage where I'm just going to build all my own tools.

Kudos to Sarkozy for managing to serve a prison sentence even shorter than he is.

The tendency of Coroners to ignore guidance from the Chief Coroner, the reality of trans existence, and the wishes of bereaved parents, and express their own views in the death certificate, is both contemptible and unlawful.

We have a legal team ready to go; we will challenge it in the High Court.
