You’re really blaming Covid school closures and not Brexit and years of austerity for reducing opportunities for young people? Absolutely delusional.

Avery looks good in everything

My wish is that all Gen AI disappears and every person whose work was stolen to train it is paid fairly by the thieves. I would also like those people deported to a deserted island, but I don’t trust that lot on islands.

I’ve been grieving him all day as he brought such joy into my life (as have you and your besties) and it is lovely to hear of little kindnesses like this. Thank you for sharing it.

You are an example to us all!

So not right!

He is very wrong on both counts.

Australia, too.

I’ve read it twice already and will reread again once my tbr pile returns to reasonable levels. You should be so proud of that book, between the complexity of the plotting and the depth if the characters (including 16yo girls allowed to make blunders! Loved it!) AHC is a joy from cover to cover.

It’s important to note that Iran’s government are also crap and have killed many of their civilians, but you are very right that the US’s bombing has been vastly more brutal and they also encouraged Iranians to resist their bad government then abandoned those who did to the slaughter.

Yep, it’s just the endless bad faith from some, but it is worth reminding the average person that science gets it wrong less than they think. Old people always say ‘they all said there was an ice age coming in the 70s!’ Nope, a handful of scientists did and all but one later retracted their papers.

I remember the terrible fires in Victoria, Aus, in 2009. When climate scientists were interviewed afterwards and they said ‘our models did predict days this hot, but we trimmed that data because we thought the media would accuse of us exaggerating for effect.’

Man who once rang me at midnight wanting to give my then boyfriend a bollocking (and, to be fair, then apologised for bothering me) is now the Prime Minister of Australia. I made a nice mug today.

I’m usually in full agreement with you, but for me he’s the office gift everyone keeps regifting.

You sound like a MAGA person dismissing the death of a trans kid. I’m sorry your concept of political purity has had such a devastating impact on your basic humanity.

I’m going to have to watch it again as I only saw it on its first release and can’t recall. Thanks for the tip!
