The Falklands are British. Full stop. Not by accident. Not by ambiguity. We fought for them when it mattered most and paid the price. And because the islanders have chosen it, clearly and repeatedly. There is no debate on this.

@rickygervais @aflickerofdoubt @CosmicSkeptic With all due respect Ricky, you should start with apprising yourself of the difference between gods and God. They are ontologically different things. There can be thousands of gods, but only one God Until you understand the difference, you cannot coherently discuss this

I’m getting a lot of hate for this reel. What do you think? (P.S.: if you say “but we have evidence for dads I believe you have missed the point.)

Went on a trip alone with a longtime friend I was in love with. Rental place she got had only one bed. Refused her repeated offer to share with her and slept on the uncomfy couch to be a "gentleman". Years later, I realised and about had a stroke.

As a weekly parkrunner, I could not careless about a trans person running with me. It is not a competitive event, it is a way of getting people out every Saturday morning to be active in an inclusive environment. This is just bonkers.
Ben Bloom@benbloomsport

Two distinct things can be true: 1. Women's sport must be protected. 2. Parkrun allows people to run with dogs/buggies. It's for everyone. It's not a competition. The suggestion that a trans runner is a threat to anyone's morning fun run is ludicrous. telegraph.co.uk/sport/2026/04/…

You don't need advice from editors on rejected manuscripts.  My short story “Ender's Game” was rejected by Ben Bova at Analog back when that was the top market for a sci-fi story. Ben gave me feedback. He thought the title should be “Professional Soldier” and he said to “cut it in half.” But I knew he was wrong on both points and submitted it to Jim Baen at Galaxy. He sat on it for a year, and responded to my query with a rejection. There was some kind of explanation, but I don't remember what it was. I concluded at the time that Baen's comments showed that he had barely glanced at the story. So … I got feedback both times, but it was not helpful. I looked at Ben's rejection again. What was it about the story that made him think it should, let alone COULD, be cut in half? Apparently it FELT long. What made it feel long? Now, post-Harry Potter, I would call it the quidditch problem. I had too many battles in which the details became tedious. So I cut two battles entirely, merely reporting the outcomes, and shortened another. In retyping the whole manuscript (pre-word-processor, that was the only way to get a clean manuscript), I added new point-of-view material to the point that I had cut only one page in length. So much for “in half.” But I already knew that my manuscripts did not need cutting — if it wasn't needed, it wouldn't be there in the first place. Even the battles were still there, but instead of showing them, I merely told what happened (so much for the usually asinine advice “show don't tell”), which kept the pace going. Those changes made, I sent it to Ben again. I did not remind him of what he had advised me to do. I merely told him I liked my title, and said, “I have addressed your other concerns,” which was true. I figured he wouldn't remember what his exact words had been. My answer was a check. That revised story was the basis for my winning the Campbell Award for best new writer. Did Ben's feedback help? Yes — but his specific advice was not right, and I knew it. On my next two submissions, Ben hated my endings, and I revised as suggested. The fourth submission he rejected outright, and the fifth, and I thought, Am I a one-story writer? I went back to Ender's Game and tried to analyze why it worked. Then, deliberately imitating myself, I wrote “Mikal's Songbird.” Ben bought it, and it received favorable mentions. I was afraid then that I had consigned myself to writing stories about children in jeopardy. But in fact I was writing character stories rather than idea stories. And THAT was how I built a career, not by self-imitation, and not by following editorial suggestions. I did get wise counsel from David Hartwell on my novel Wyrms, but that was on a book that was already under contract, and it was story feedback, not style. I got wise counsel from Beth Meacham, too, on various books over the years — but again, only on books that were under contract. I also received appallingly stupid advice from the editor of my novel Saints, which temporarily destroyed the book's marketability; after that, I was allowed to go back to my original structure and save the book — now it's one of my best. Editors don't know more than you about your story. They especially don't know why they decide to accept or reject stories. YOU have to know what your story needs to be, and take only advice that you believe in. Your best counselor on a story nobody bought is TIME. Let some time pass and then reread the story. Don't even think about why it Didn't Work. Instead, think about what DOES work, and then write it again, a complete rewrite, keeping nothing from the previous draft. Find the right protagonist and begin at the beginning — the point where the protagonist first gets involved with the events of the story. Be inventive — the failed first draft no longer exists, so you're not bound by any of your earlier decisions. THAT is how you resurrect a good idea you did not succeed with on your first try.

@1878smigger @Ellyinthemiddle @LeeHarris It’s more about etiquette and order. You might think he’s a liar and with good reason, but calling him as such is not permitted, one has to say words to that effect like “I don’t find his testimony credible” - the polite way of saying someone is a liar

🚨ABSOLUTE SCENES IN PARLIAMENT!! Far-left Independent MP Zarah Sultana says Keir Starmer is "gaslighting the nation" and a "BARE FACED LIAR". She is ordered to leave and she REFUSES, so is *immediately* suspended from the house. Lindsay Hoyle LOSES IT! 👀

@FXMC1957 What was also tragic about Benny’s death is that it happened the day after Frankie Howard died. It just seemed a whole generation of comedians was disappearing at once.

20 April 1992. Benny Hill (aged 68) was found dead at his London home. He had died on 18 April. His comedy shows on BBC then ITV were very popular from 1955 to 1989. Hill described his comedy style as “seaside post card humour”.

@JohnCleese Nobody is claiming that you can change your biological sex chromosomes. Nobody is claiming that you can recreate testes or a uterus. The claim revolves around the social construct of gender. This is a straw man argument. Do better.

@JoltVisceral @anon_opin crime statistics show that while crime has consistantly gone down over the last 40 years, it's white males, followed closely by white females, doing most of the crime, especially violent crime. Violent crime committed by females is the only crime stat rising (reported more now).

The writer of 'Project Hail Mary' offered his services for the new 'Star Trek' but they turned him down. Which is for the best, since he probably would of gone down the bigoted route of making it entertaining, rather than focusing on the much needed inclusion of Trans Klingons.
