It'll be some back end "AI" thing they've just quietly implemented They're swapping out words for slightly more statistically common ones regardless of context No I really did mean to say "gut" not "guy" and "were" not "we're"

Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation. Seeing him I always think of what was once said about William Burroughs: ''I don't want that boy in the house again, he looks like a sheep-killing dog.'' Roberts is mean on two legs. Don’t let him get more power.

Genital-obsessed weirdos in "insignificant and unpopular" shocker. Which makes it all the more pathetic that Labour, and Starmer specifically, courted their vote.

Something that's important to do now is WRITE TO YOUR MP. Particularly if they are new. Not a form letter or autogenerated one. An actual personal one. Not frothy. Just firm and clear. Ask them their views. When they respond, tell them how it aligns (or doesn't) to KEEP your vote.

Often boils down to the way power makes itself invisible to the people who possess it. So often in these situations it's a famous man who just doesn't comprehend that a much younger and/or less famous woman is not easily able to meaningfully consent if he makes the first move.

Yeah dunno about anything that's been written on it, but I gave up a few levels in cos the scissors-paper-rock thing with certain weapons for certain monsters just got too frustrating. Later I heard they ripped off the guy who did the music, too, which is a bit shit. Friends rec Doom 2016 over it.

Do the Lib Dems honestly think their result is something to do with a policy platform and not just being a Tory removal device that won't make you have to look at Starmer and blame yourself?
