A good word from children's book author, Mo Willems.

I work with children from PK to high school. Children are so much better than these horrible adults.

At risk of getting tedious, once more, can we not use the phrase "child porn"? The accurate phrase is "child sex abuse material", which I know is two words longer, but it's what the NSPCC begs us to use, for many good reasons.
The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

How on earth d'you learn to speak like this? Could you actually explain to someone what you mean? I'm pretty sure "I just try hard to stay optimistic" would cover what's written here.

"Ann Boleyn was either going to be burned at the stake or executed".

Um...burned at the stake is being executed isn't it?

I'd be more interested in AI if "expert"

posts on LinkedIn became more naturally written and

not broken up into odd chunks that make them

look

like they're written in AI, which clearly has no

idea

how to write normal paragraphs.

True, we're probably all guilty of taking what we've got for granted, to some degree, and maybe schools need to teach kids how to recognize how well off we actually are, and how not to fuck it up.

Sure it comes with what you are used to or mostly born into. Only education or being exposed to some harsher realities can fix that probably.

I know which countries are better to live in than others, and every one of them has healthcare for everyone, doesn't have mass shootings, and has a functioning legal system and democracy, without a psychopath terrorist leader running the country.

For those who don't live here, thought a quick recap on UK's relationship with weather would be handy: it's too.

Too hot, too cold, too sunny, too windy, too wet, too dry. Not enough snow, but we can't cope with snow so it's too much.

This is the end of the public service announcement.

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.
