Ok

New Substack post: ‘Edge Case Wars’ - Have the Culture Wars Been Misnamed? rolandmcs.substack.com/p/edge-case-...

Agreed! Stayed up for Ali fights and Nixon resignation and all sorts!

"The present is different from the past, but that’s no use if you can’t remember the past. With feminism, the immensity of its achievements over the past 50 or 60 years disappears if you forget things used to be worse in ways almost unimaginable to those who didn’t live through them or study them."

👀 Did you post this to my office? Written with pink/purple ink? I'd really like to talk to you if so, I can protect your identity but what you sent was really important but not enough on its own. Get in touch via DM email etc... Pls RT.

Happy Skellig night, fellow singletons!

One of the most interesting data analysts out there. Great read!

My brother wanted a London pub crawl. The result? My new Substack post: "Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next?" How private equity reshaped the local, which pubs are most at risk and most importantly what to do about it. open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

Excellent!

Very hard agree on this! Just extra taps!

That’s funny!

If we explain to Nigel that we're not calling him a racist in a hurtful or insulting way, perhaps he'll be a little less salty about it.

Messages from school to my parents in the 90s: Fill in the slip at the bottom & bring in £2 for the trip to the zoo Messages from school now: Your child's exam schedule is on Zoop, login via the LernPortal to access it, the results will be on HoneyTree, their homework is on Zappp & NumberHub

An excellent and thought provoking read

legacy of Sir Tim Brighouse who did it in Birmingham and was then brought to London? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Plainly put!

AI explaining median income! Incorrect explanation and figure!

Yep, made it worse

Almost every paragraph of this article describes another atrocity or war crime, with first-hand testimony from Israeli soldiers. Beyond obscene, and the callous indifference of the UK political and media establishment equally so. archive.ph/3LjoW

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... they want to understand whether there is a genetic reason for the incidence of acute pancreatitis and weight loss drugs? Surprised they haven’t just reached for alcohol and high tryglicerides

Ver well argued. As someone who has lifelong emotional and mental health disorders that commenced school age and also worked with young people I think universal rather than individually reactive is wrong

If only this was satire

Culture wars are successful the list of scapegoats will continue to be extended

Hear, hear!

Nearly perfect pun but a rogue N leads to a loss of points!

A reminder to like the not swimming for an hour after eating myth

I really do think I deserve the free book for this myth, just a few more likes please and I promise to actually read it and pass it on to someone who will read it when I’m finished

Joins a long list of both universal and targeted. Evidence is consistent, CYP choose the person they want to help them and not the service, also universal all effective therapy is successful because of the quality of the relationship and not the techniques used-an app is not a relationship!

Please read and share widely!

Discrimination, harassment and violence will increase if trans people lose access to toilets and other spaces. Many will feel driven from public life. That's what's at stake here. There's no benefit to women. Just harm to trans people and anyone who doesn’t fit gendered stereotypes.

A few more likes and I win the book

I regularly and happily debunk, not swimming for an hour after eating-probably one of the most pernicious and least challenged of urban myths

Could have been worse and Painted Cack

Austerity with a red rosette is not the “change” people voted for.

A welcome antidote to the xenophobic nonsense about "low-wage" migrant workers that floods the opinion pages of the Telegraph and Times. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

speaking Truth to Power. What a stand to make!

Excellent John Harris column on the failings in care for adults with learning disabilities www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW: Tomorrow the tech gods will ascend to the presidential dais. The image of the bros + Trump is going to be seared into our brains. It's up to us now. My eve-of-inauguration post open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Worthy read as a reminder to self or how to nudge someone who may be lonely. Not everyone says hello but most say hello back!

And there it is. The capture now complete with no dismantling of Freeport’s.
