Today's annoyance: audiobooks which are exclusive to Audible.

"Fascinating" doesn't come close to describing this. Were hundreds of thousands of civilians murdered in Hiroshima and Nagasaki because an inept President was so far off his brief he didn't understand what was going to happen?

@carolinejmolloy.bsky.social why are you reposting an ignorant and dangerous fluff piece? Scottish patients are being moved en masse from expertise in emergency rooms to suffer in isolation in corridors elsewhere in the building in a wholesale embrace of "Flow" cruelty. You're better than this.

Egalitarian ideals shape Scotland’s distinct health policies, but independence raises a key question: party agenda or public belief?

In Scotland, if a woman is raped there is only a 10% chance of prosecution. Even then, if that woman is the only complainant against a man with no other charges or convictions, there is a less than 25% chance of conviction.
The courts want to make that even lower.
