i was staring at a menu that was in sicilian with the italian underneath each item and my brain preceived the sicialian as italian and the italian as english (it's food, it's mostly familiar) and then... oh! right!

One thing I don't think Americans understand is just how small and incestuous the British ruling class is. There's like 7000 people across politics and the media and certain kinds of business and think tank, who all went to the same universities, who are all married to each other.

Never forget Keir Starmer paraded Brianna Ghey's mother around Parliament to score points over Sunak. 5 months later he's saying trans women aren't women + should be banned from women's spaces. It's utterly depressing come tomorrow there will be people inc. from many queers endorsing him as PM.

like the ethos of "respectable" DC is completely lawyer brained which approves of making convincing arguments you don't believe. that's not necessarily lying, precisely, but it isn't good faith discussion either!

The wild thing about this is that Starmer, once the top lawyer in the UK, is just plain wrong about this. The equality act is clear about this and there are multiple examples of case law stating exactly that trans women have the right to use single-sex spaces aligning with their gender identity.

A damning joint report by Yale Law School and Yale Medicine finds the UK's Cass Review "levies unsupported assertions about gender identity, gender dysphoria, standard practices, and safety of gender-affirming medical treatments, and it repeats claims that have been disproved by sound evidence.”

"The President has exclusive authority over the investigative and prosecutorial functions of the Justice Department and its officials" wow so it turns out that waiting out Biden's entire term instead of arresting Trump on January 20th *wasn't* an ironclad requirement of law and procedure?!

i'm less interested in guessing the actual answer (I can't know!) and more saying that the prominent people in The Discourse should be clear about what they mean (in part because some of them have better sources than I do!)

generally I wish people would explain whether they are worried biden comes across badly sometimes because of age or if his brain is mush because of age - is the election campaign the problem or the governing? (I am not expressing an opinion here, just pointing out that these are different issues!)
