Cat names should evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

If a self-identifying “left of centre” government with a parliamentary majority of more than a hundred seats won’t defend a vital public service institution you really have to ask why it’s in government at all.

Racists saying the train worker injured protecting passengers during the knife attack is a hero, then finding out his name:

We don't have blind faith, which is how the word 'trust' is misused here. We get them to peer review each other. We check for consensus. We collect data on what happens when their advice is acted on and other experts review that in an endless feedback cycle of mostly improving knowledge.

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

I know there are good reasons why wealth taxes on assets that can be moved between countries are a bad idea. But everytime I see a headline like this I'm just "squeeze the selfish bastards till they cry".

OH MY GOD
