The NHS is due to tackle autism assessment waiting lists by outsourcing some of the backlog to Becky and Olivia from Year Seven, it has been announced.

"NATO Out!" Seen in Athens

My official linguist view is that most of what so-called "native speakers" feel compelled to "correct" in others has nothing to do with how the language works, or clarity, and everything to do with markers of whether someone belongs to a particular community. For English, this means white supremacy.

i'm a pigment of my imagination

"a character starting as identity X should never become identity Y through their own development because this takes away from X representation and implies all X are secretly Y" true, all fictional characters exist to be purely static effigies of flat identity representations and nothing else

34 YEAR OLD WOMAN AT ANIME CON HOTEL PARTY: you sound pretty passionate about that jax character. you know, when i was your age we had similar arguments about a different character, we called it "vriscourse" 22 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO DIDN'T KNOW SOJU WAS THAT STRONG: could yuo push me down the stairs,,

Napoleon Bonaparte made his servants break in his shoes before he wore them. His entire wardrobe was two different outfits repeated. When he arrived at St Helena he had a meltdown about the house smelling like paint. His stare was so unnerving other heads of state believed it was magical.

The older I get the more angry and distressed I become at all the ways we burn and scar the tortured surface of our planet as if it isn’t the most wonderful jewel in the sky, it frightens me and it offends me.

Honestly I think part of the reason trans narratives are enjoying such wide popularity and discussion (even if cis people refuse to discuss them without stripping them of the trans elements first) is simply that "change or die" is an increasingly relevant theme for an increasing number of people

im done with you sonic. i don't want to be your villain anymore. im taking knuckles in the divorce

If you’re not going to start pronouncing Paris the right way, or saying Roma, or Euskal Herria or Zhōngguó (had to look that one up), then what in god’s holy name are you blathering about?

Apart from the fact every single language on earth works this way – it’s not some arrogant Anglophone chauvinism – the best argument against it is that it’s better to pronounce placenames properly in your own language than get them wrong in another language.

are they still taking signups i will forgive the british if they put me on this show

Ok so turbo hot take: I think that the myth where Thor and Loki crossdressed to get mjolnir back may have been a bog-standard "haha man in dress" joke rather than an expansive view of viking genders

This very explicitly translates to "we hate trannies and we want them to die"

There's no coming back from this! Even right now, the researchers maintain that the verdict isn't in the patients' best interest, demonstrating clearly that they will keep trying to do shit like this if at all possible. They need to be removed.

En mi caso, si no hubiéramos sabido el precio que se paga al laboratorio por Lenzetto habría sido difícil entender por qué en España no lo tenemos. El laboratorio aduce problemas de producción que, misteriosamente, no afectan a otros mercados.

@civio.es dice que no es posible entender en qué medida mejorará la vida de los ciudadanos que ese dato este oculto. Yo tampoco lo entiendo muy bien. www.elmundo.es/ciencia-y-sa...

Bien, decía que os fijarais en ese dato porque los precios de venta al laboratorio son públicos en España. O lo eran. Porque el gobierno y el PP, enfrentados hasta en decidir de qué color es el blanco de los ojos de los ciudadanos, han decidido pactar en esto: ocultar ese dato

...mucho más bajo que en otros países. Y que mientras que en España no hay medicamentos, el fabricante no negaba estarlo exportando a otros países de Europa, donde es más caro. En marzo se declara el desabastecimiento. En abril sube el precio Fijaos en este dato:

No sé si os acordáis de que hace unas semanas decidí investigar qué estaba pasando con Lenzetto, unas hormonas en spray que resultan fundamentales para el tratamiento de mujeres menopáusicas sintomáticas y personas trans. Me enteré de que el precio de venta al laboratorio en España es muy bajo...

They know, we know, they know we know, we know they know. This is all a bunch of choices made that if you are powerful enough hurt enough people all at once the violence inherent in this becomes so diffuse it can be hard to identify victims well enough to arrange for a suitable self defence.

Local surfers have set up apps and used public data to help warn people which days the levels of sewage aren't safe to bathe or surf in after years of this being the way the waterways are managed.

I'm down on the south coast this week and there are warnings everywhere in this heat wave that you shouldn't try to cool off in the sea because the privately owned companies that run the water supply have flooded the waterways flowing into the sea with sewage. You can smell it some days, it reeks.

They know climate change is real and they know people are dying and they are as happy poisoning waterways and cooking human beings and choking children on vehicle fumes and keeping speed limits high enough to run over kids on the school run and all the rest. They are fine with it that's the point.

The climate abuse needs to be seen as similar to other forms of violence. The wealthy petroindustry interests propagandísing against doing anything about this have AC, they have healthcare, they have empires of glass and steel built in the desert and they dont care about mass displacement and death.

I see this kind of comment, "but still the right will deny and delay..." Yeah they will. They will happily kill you and your relatives to suit their ambitions for a more brutal world built on wealth. It's not because they're stupid or ignorant it's because the waves of death do not matter to them.

I did work on developing chemical reactors that can produce many of our commonly needed petrochemical products without using oil and the single biggest issue I kept running into was being compute limited!

It truly is quite weird how much some medical researchers have successfully promulgated an attitude to human subject research that acts like Helsinki Declaration are somehow The Man getting in the way of Science rather than it being responding to dehumanising & unscientific conduct in the mid 20thC

I understand the excitement about technology “rediscovering lost texts.” I do, & I get the media hype. But I wish people knew that there are hundreds of thousands of “lost” texts just sitting in manuscripts in libraries, which have never been published outside of those single manuscripts. 1/n
