To explain the ridiculousness of this, holding up a sign at a protest saying that you are pleased with today's HC judgment, could give rise to a 'reasonable suspicion' that you support a proscribed organisation.
I share this only to help those contemplating whether to tweet "I support Palestine Action".

Government decision to proscribe Palestine action was unlawful, high court judges rule.

Huge victory for those opposing genocide. Huge wake up call for the Labour government.

Via @suleikhasnyder.bsky.social . I wonder if Harlequin/Mills & Boon/Carina are failing, what with this about the historical line shutting, and people observing that Harlequin were totally unable to make the most of the success of Heated Rivalry.

One of the things we know about play is that it requires a lack of self-observation/judgement. So you are basically ensuring a child will never get any of the cognitive or mental health benefits of play.

April is watching a documentary about the excavation of Tutankhamen's tomb and we've somehow got onto discussing my long-held wish to visit Highclere Castle. I'm telling her about Downton Abbey like it's family history.

Good grief. Do people who don't go to uni not benefit from doctors, librarians, researchers, lawyers, architects, artists, writers, archivists, historians, designers, programmers, etc etc etc...? What is this weird unjoined up world she imagines?
Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

Hey smartwatch users, please take heed of this warning about your data: “...the current administration's spread of misinformation around autism erasure will harm people who are autistic instead of helping them.” @ejwillingham.bsky.social in the latest TPGA newsletter:

"Profound autism" label is profoundly useless
Clustering autistic people under an arbitrary, demeaning label erases their individual humanity and needs.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

When I was a teenager, my grandmother took us to a natural trail that was supposedly home to armadillos. After a few minutes without seeing any, I said "here armadillo, armadillo, armadillo" with the same tone of voice you'd use to call a cat. Then we heard a rustling and an armadillo walked by.
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

When I think about measles I think about the number 1,000. Thats the number that epidemiologists use to explain harm from measles in children. With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die.

South Carolina is at 789.
