The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

I don’t think a Reform govt is inevitable. And it’s up to us too, to make sure it doesn’t happen. Apathy, defeatism and tearing down our own side only emboldens Farage. We must refuse to help him. Be more strategic and defiant ourselves. He has 30% support. If the 70% can’t defeat him, shame on us.

being trans in 2025 is like playing quietly on your game boy in your room not bothering anyone and then your drunk parents kick your door down and start beating the fuck outta you for "ruining the entire family" but all you've done is play game boy in your room without bothering anyone.

One should always be suspicious when the state resists disclosure of documents.

And one should be more suspicious when the state suddenly purports to agree to the disclosure of documents.

As Dorothy Parker once said, "I don't like writing, I like having asked a computer to write it."
the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

It's hard to find the words for how disgusting this is. It completely silences girls' experiences of male violence. It fails to recognise the importance of education for prevention. It ignores the drivers of men's violence. And it's racist.

Oh and for good measure, which party cut police numbers?

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

A satisfactory outcome for the BBC in this case would come about in one of two ways.

Either BBC prepares for trial, and wins.

Or BBC prepares for trial, and Trump caves or settles because of prospect of losing at court.

Either way: full steam ahead.

The BBC is correct to stand firm on this.

For it is only by being resolute in be face of this illiberal and misconceived claim that there will be any chance of a satisfactory outcome.

BBC gets many things wrong, but this they are getting right.

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.

Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.
