Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Do you seriously believe Sunak and Starmer are worse than Truss?

It takes some fucking brass neck for the political right to implement ruinous austerity for 14 years and then turn around and say "the reason public services are shite is because there are too many immigrants using them." Fuck off into the sun.

equating the people who marched through the streets of amsterdam chanting 'school's out in gaza because all the children are dead' with all jewish people is deeply, deeply sick.

Y'know, it's the stangest thing; Maccabi Tel Aviv fans being told not to come to Aston Villa because of a security concern that they might be attacked is the top story on BBC News today

But no mention at all that I can see that IDF began breaking the ceasefire basically immediately

Having slept on it, I think the even more shocking part of it is that Starmer is so desperate to unleash racist violence onto the British people that he's sided *against* the police for what must be the second or third time in his career (the other times were also in aid of racism)

Please remember if reform win the next election, it will be totally Labour’s fault, not the green party’s or whatever else they will try and tell you

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

X is a nazi bar.

Picasso has to be up there

Just five minutes reading what the anti-trans contingent thinks of cisgender women who dare to disagree with them will reveal their true intentions. They *despise* women who step out of line, it’s genuinely scary.

ohhhh you’re fully obsessed
You need to speak to a doctor about this, friend. It’s not healthy.

It’s genuinely incredible how you obsessive Taylor Swift haters have somehow become even louder, weirder and more irritating than the Swifties. Log off, go outside! 🙏

Too many of you are too fucking weird about Taylor Swift. Like so fucking weird about her.

Some people are being very weird here, Adam isn’t one of them.

If I got enough for the pup, I would figure out the service training over time

But all of my unsolicited advice aside… I really hope you get this dog. They can be a handful but I know I wouldn’t be around today if it wasn’t for the role my dogs have played in my life.

(Pictured: my old dog Scruff, a purebred Norfolk Terrier, and my current dog Tilly, a mystery rescue mutt)

Mixed breeds have excellent genetic diversity, but some breeds aren’t “compatible” if that makes sense.

Re: hypoallergenic needs, I’d be cautious of bathing every day. That kind of schedule will probably give the dog dry skin, increasing the amount of skin dust they emit. Very counterproductive!

*dog spinterest activated*

The idea that mixed breed = fewer health problems is something of a misconception. The average mutt is definitely healthier than the average ultra-inbred designer dog, but a healthy pedigree dog will be more predictably healthy than the average mutt.

“Northampton - Cancelled”
I wish!

Thick as two short planks. Best of luck with your crusade against consumerism.

Do you seriously believe that cheaper products last longer and cause less environmental damage? You cannot be this stupid.

I’d argue that conversion therapy practitioners should be free to sit in a room and spout queerphobic nonsense, as that is a first amendment right. The issue occurs when they coerce vulnerable LGBTQ+ people into attending.

Incoherent nonsense. So people should “choose something that you will use forever” but when a high quality product arrives on the market it’s “another item of consumption over priced and not a need”?
