copy editing straight up does not fucking exist anymore & publications of all kinds at the highest levels of professionalism are rife with spelling, grammatical, mechanical, usage errors & AI killed any hope of it ever getting better because they're training on the shitty data.
What’s the most boomer complaint you have?

Well, I guess you can call me a law changer! Today, the Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform Bill passed - critically with an amendment to make court transcripts free for rape survivors. This is something that’s come directly from survivors’ pain and I couldn’t be more proud.

Okay, now define the biological sexes. Every attempt I've ever seen at doing that had contradictions or people who aren't even trans not meeting either definition.
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that a woman is defined as biological sex under the Equality Act of 2010

If the reason for this ban was, as Streeting says here, "medicine was given to vulnerable young children without the evidence that it was safe," then he would ban puberty blockers for all children. He has banned them only for trans children. Because it's not about safety.
Puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria are being banned indefinitely in the UK, following the Cass Review. Health Secretary Wes Streeting says "it was a scandal that medicine was given to vulnerable young children without the evidence that it was safe" @LBC

Bob Odenkirk was absolutely the best possible choice for Mr. March because as a largely unseen character, the actor needed to generate immediate affection and excitement from the audience.

The people of Moray know very well that if you’re an MP and MSP at the same time, you can’t do either job properly.
Stephen Flynn to stand as a candidate in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. If he wins a Holyrood seats he wants to do a Douglas Ross and stay on as an MP until the next Westminster vote. Means the SNP will need to drop it's no dual mandate rule.

Let's just go through what these racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans did in Amsterdam. During in a minute's silence for Spain's flood victims, they jeered and set off fireworks, because Spain backs an arms embargo on Israel.
