It’s good they’re giving the EA some extra funding and powers, but we really need to nationalise this. Water privatisation has been a disaster, and the longer we keep it going the more money they’ll be able to syphon out.

I think we get a CNN rolling news channel on Freeview but I’ve never heard of anyone watching it.

Is there some kind of parental software that can lock down phones like what happens on corporate phones? Like where you can control which apps are installed etc? That sounds like the best approach: just give them a phone with WhatsApp, phone and SMS. Any refurbished phone from the last 10 years would work for that (lack of Android security updates might be an issue though)

Still an extremely influential writer, you can’t talk about cosmic horror without at least mentioning him.

There’s so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be “Blood Sister: One Tough Nun”.

PFI? Of course not! This is GFI, it’s green.

Yeah I don’t trust the canary at all but this sounds in line with what she’s been saying so far.

And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee’s Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.

If Andrew Tate was a Persona character his dungeon would be something else.

It only works if you whistle the theme tune.

Interesting, thanks for explaining!

Right, for some reason I thought it was a binary choice: close at 12 or get the (probably expensive) 24-hour licence.

Is there such a thing as a 1am or 2am licence? I feel it would be better if pubs/bars could just choose whatever opening times they want, it would prevent this “chucking-out time” phenomenon where everyone spills onto the streets with nowhere to go.

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.

My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris’ step daughter.

On the flipside of this: adolescence is an extremely important part of life where we make thousands of decisions that impact the whole rest of our lives. We sit exams that determine whether or not we do higher education, and therefore what opportunities we have later in life. Teenagers can get arrested and thrown in jail, or just excluded from schools and denied the essential education that they need in later life. There are far more children in jail than are on puberty blockers. The idea that individual agency starts at 18 is a myth.

And I don’t really agree with the comparison with alcohol and smoking. Puberty blockers aren’t an indulgence or vice - for a teenager going through gender dysphoria they can be the line between life and death. Plus, let’s face it - lots of us are drinking and smoking a few years before 18.

Cool I guess we’ll all just die then.

Experience of having a massive fucking head.

Sounds like they’re hiding something there and they really don’t want us to go…
