Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

So much of the ā€˜housing crisisā€™ could be resolved if vacant offices got renovated into 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and at the very least itā€™d go a long way to free up houses which are being used as share houses which could be better utilised by families

I'm not sure if this is the start of the AI bubble burst or if it's just big tech pulling a fuck you on the AI startups, but between this and the Goldman Sachs report there's the potential for hilarity ahead either way.

Like, if I were to say in the media that ā€œI think John Howard is a war criminalā€. I would have to provide enough evidence that I think that he is, and I could But if itā€™s ā€œitā€™s my opinion that John Howard is a peadophileā€ in the same circumstances thatā€™s not something I could really defend

This is one of those times where the burden of proof should be on the politician in question to prove it isnā€™t a lie It could work that way. It could also be weaponised heavily, but if you shift the burden of proof even opinions still have to have a degree of ā€˜reasonablenessā€™ to them

Criticizing journalists is not only not illiberal, it's necessary. Arguing that the press shouldn't exist or should be restrained by the state (which is the Trumpian position) is illiberal.

This might be a good time to remind y'all that a lot of ā€œanti-traffickingā€ NGOs started out as (or also operate) "crisis pregnancy centers". And they share the same total disregard for women, human rights, and facts.

The entire purpose of anti discrimination law, keeping in mind itā€™s not a perfect system but itā€™s what we have after decades of fighting, is that all people are people first; they can have qualities inā€¦uhā€¦different quantities, but that they are ā€œa personā€ first

One of these days Iā€™m going to write a big long thread about how the ā€œgender-criticalā€ obsession as trying to legally ā€˜define a womanā€™ as anything other than a ā€œpersonā€ is deeply misogynistic and a massive step backwards for womenā€™s rights, equalities and wrongs

Woman on the street in London asked me for directions to her hotel, as I checked on my phone she made a comment about needing to avoid 'the gays' at 'that awful pride march', spoken with a really disgusted tone. So I sent her the wrong way.

Itā€™s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.
