Whom among us can object to speaking ill of the dead, when it comes from the fellow deceased?!
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

I know people want a hiatus or just want the show to end which like I get but the only reason I'm glad Doctor Who hasn't ended is cause The Reality War sucked ass
Say what you will about Survival it's a cracker of an ending to go out on

There is no excuse for engaging with Your Party, sorry
We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

why did this take two fucking days though? did the Prime Minister have his notifications switched off? was he stuck in the bath? why, exactly, is this obviously true thing something that apparently needs running past the boss anyway? what is *wrong* with their comms operation?
NEW: Labour condemn Tory plan to strip people of indefinite leave to remain:
“It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’.
“This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities."

as per Donny McCaslin, Bowie was listening to "Black Messiah" during the making of Blackstar (it had come out a month or so before sessions began), and you really hear it in many corners of that record.

Kent County Council is run by eurosceptic nationalists. So why are they putting EU flags on their road signs?

She also directed an episode of #TwinPeaks which (most likely) holds the record for the most dissolves in television history. 🤗

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Unfortunately Israel's occupation and genocide isn't taking a pause for a week following the horrific attack in Manchester so it isn't fair to expect this of pro-Palestine protesters imo
NEW: Home secretary Shabana Mahmood urges pro-Palestine protesters to consider not taking part in marches this weekend.
"Imagine if you lost a loved one to a terror attack in this country ... sometimes a little unity, a little solidarity, some love to other people is required"

I'm not being funny but we all know for a fact that every single time that when in response to a conflict being in the news someone says "but what about x, also terrible" it is an obviously dishonest attempt to guilt people into looking away.
