Welcome to Romanian Duolingo!
www.bigissue.com/news/environ... This may provide context, but I'm still none the wiser as to how traffic filters supposedly means sleepwalking to tyranny.
We're taught a simplified version, but sex is far more nuanced than we realise. I'm by no means qualified to speak on this in any meaningful way, and I cannot suggest any answers. But I do fear this being exploited by bad faith actors. 3/3
It's also interesting that there are other obvious biological advantages we are happy to celebrate. No one suggested banning Adam Peaty for his joints or Michael Phelps for his wingspan. 2/3
On the surface it seems simple, but it is more complicated. A disproportionate number of cis women in elite sport have PCOS, one of the symptoms being increased levels of male sex hormones. Should they be banned? What about trans women who used puberty blockers? 1/3
The beacons have been lit and the bisexuals will answer!!
Solidarity with the legal cheese cats!
Oh I am well aware!
Did Stilton write this? Stilton always believes he very much deserves treats.
A blue and white cat lounging in a chair with a confused look on his face. Definitely trying to puzzle out the latest plot twist and not at all sleepy.
A blue and white cat lounging in a chair with his mouth wide open and ears back. Clearly horrified. Definitely not yawning.
May I present Stilton doing both. No physical book present as we were listening to the audiobook.
A blue and white British Shorthair cat sits on a miniature deck chair in front of a calendar of himself. In the calendar photo he is wearing a wig and gown and is sticking his tongue out.
Same as picture one, only now the cat is licking his nose like a big idiot.
It's his time. @lawpawcalendar.bsky.social
I would urge you to watch John Oliver on police interrogations sometime (if you haven't already). I have never been more grateful for PACE.
To me yoga is single player twister where I get to see all the places in the room I failed to dust properly.
ICE shot a reporter...
"Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."
This reminds me of when Radio 4 thought it would be a good idea to advertise The Long View using Longview by Green Day.
I'm really sorry for your loss. Dayve was very loved and will be greatly missed x
“What utility is there in the UK being bound any more into the Strasbourg court,” Jack Straw asked in a letter to The Times at the weekend. “Not much” was the answer he gave.

This is an exceptional piece of writing by an anonymous barrister recently diagnosed with ADHD.

#WinOfTheWeek You may not believe this week's case study. It truly is Kafkaesque.
£63,000 was at stake for a low paid person with health issues, which is life affecting.
Thankfully we won the tribunal but we need support to keep doing this.

My fiancé worked at a margarita bar on the Gold Coast in Australia for a year. He can be half asleep and still make a margarita on muscle memory in 90 seconds. I may not be sensible, but I am very lucky.
Unless you have a chapter on a global dreamies shortage, he'll cope!
Audiobook pre-ordered. Stilton can't wait to listen.
Similar vibes here.
A blue and white British Shorthair cat is curled up asleep on a lounger in front of a Christmas tree. The cat is a dick, but he looks like butter wouldn't melt.
Stilton wishes you a merry Christmas too.
I do have adaptive software, and I can have the computer read to me. Due to the layout of some documents I have to deal with, helpfulness varies. Screen masking, in particular having one highlighted line to focus on at a time, has been an absolute godsend. Thanks v much for the suggestions though!
British shorthair cat looks longingly at some chips
The reaction from my cat Stilton when I wouldn't let him eat curried chips.
Thank you. I'm a barrister with dyslexia. My job involves so much reading that I have little energy to pick up a book for fun. Audiobooks have been so helpful. Using one media format is no more virtuous than the other.
Blue and white British shorthair cat with big amber eyes looks through a window.
Stilton welcomes Rufus.
I see that a collection of MPs have taken it upon themselves to “launch” a private prosecution, in relation to a case which is still awaiting a CPS charging decision.
What might be the problems with this? 🧵
