a side note: you can learn *a lot* about British journalism when you realize that Boris Johnson was fired from his first job in it for serial dishonesty, and then promptly hired into a new job, where he continued to make up lies.
Not to pat my profession on the back, for all of our problems, but I do think it's to the law's credit that every US bar association that reviewed Glass' application for a license went "fuuuuuuuuuuuck no."

I think there's an assumption that people will not notice that more of their real income keeps getting taxed and they're taking home less of their payrise because there isn't a month to month drop, and I just don't think that works unless you're getting a chunkier payrise, which they aren't.
I think that far too much weight is being placed on 'can you rules-lawyer your way through an interview about how you've put people's taxes up' and 'what will people actually experience' - if you're raising my taxes (you are), just raise them by enough to get out of the v tight 27-9 spending rounds!

Stiff competition but Vance is probably the worst fascist goblin in the WH rn.
Smarter than opportunistic idiots like Witkoff and more ideological and actively evil than Trump.
And he wraps all his smug viciousness in this faux ”well now good sir” civility that’s sooo hateable.

absolutely horrific story, and belies the misogyny inherent in so much anti-trans sports stuff: the absolute disbelief that a girl or woman could be just be great at something, and the assertion that there's only one way for girls and women to look
the poor child could be scared off playing

Genuinely mental story. The obvious intersection of trans panic and deranged sports parents: adults gleefully bullying the shit out of a kid
Looking for answers to ‘case closed’ following troubling events at a girls’ football match in Cavan
On a Friday in August, a WhatsApp message describing troubling events at a girls’ football match began to spread in Cavan GAA circles. It read:

This is exactly the type of behaviour they want.

The "was Nigel Farage a racist in school?" stuff baffles me a little. Like, he is clearly a racist now, what do we gain from this?

Hitting your mid-30s means your peers start Settling Down and get difficult to coax to a night outside of home, which is well and good but some of us are still trying to meet-cute a minor aristocrat with a large house and larger fortune, and he's probably not hiding down the back of a friend's sofa

i think you could get ryan grim to vote for one of those bunny shadows you make with your hand on the wall for your kid
the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller
