It's really interesting to me that according to liberals, foster care is only a pipeline to sex trafficking when the abortion topic comes up but not when it comes to discussing the ethics of the porn industry.

Howd bill and kryptos meet?

Kryptos: Someone introduced us. We don't talk about it, though. You know, 'cause it was really far back. Bill was almost 18, I'm only a year younger, and now it's been thousands of... Years? Doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's just my selective memory.

Future Leader of The Conservative Party?

Kemi Badenoch, a far right Tory, is a firm favourite to take over from Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party. She is very concerned about honesty and openness, and rarely misses an opportunity to tell her audiences that “It is time to tell the truth”. For Ms Badenoch, politicians need to stand up and tell the truth because the public is “crying out for honesty”. (The Standard: 12/07/22)

Quite right Ms Badenoch. We do want the truth.

Yet, the Guardian carried this headline only two days ago regarding Badenoch’s relationship with the truth.

"...the truth is an insult to the ever-outraged Kemi Badenoch. The business secretary is a passionate defender of free speech apart from any criticism of her."  (19/02/24)

The former chairman of the Post Office, Henry Staunton, who was sacked by the business secretary Kemi Badenoch last month, has claimed he received instructions from a senior government official to slow down compensation payments for sub-postmasters to allow the government time to “limp into” the next election.

Ms Badenoch vigorously denied this was the case and, using Parliamentary privilege, attacked  Mr Staunton’s revelations as “full of lies”.

Today Mr Staunton has produced evidence that he was told to “hobble" up to the general election and to delay compensation payments as "now was not the time for dealing with long term issues.” (The I: 21/02/24)

The word “hobble" certainly implies that Mr Staunton was told to delay payments to sub postmasters and mistresses, but it is still a “she said - he said” argument, and who you believe will probably depend upon your political view point.

Less problematic in establishing whether Ms Badenoch is really the champion of truth that she claims to be, is evidence from the Canadian High Commission.

Badenoch, as Business Secretary, recently told the House of Commons that trade talks with Canada were “ongoing”. This is not true say the Canadians, causing Liam Byrne, Chair of the Commons Business and Trade Select Committee, to demand of Ms Badenoch why the Canadian account of the talks is:

“so utterly at variance with what she told the House of Commons.”

Maybe the right-wing Ms Badenoch is not as honest or as concerned with telling the truth as she claims?

Bizarre, perhaps. But given the ideological changes within the left (it used to be perfectly normal to be left-wing and support Israel) and its increasing love for Marxist theory, postcolonial theory, and other ideas backed by the Soviet Union and Soviet-influenced academics in the 1960s, some of us are not surprised @queer-geordie-nerd . And as for the gratuitous verbal abuse doled out by the pro-Palestinian side, this only reflects the lack of moral foundations within their movement. It's a sign of panic, as many within that movement are unaware of or are deliberately ignoring the legion of facts that undercut their central narrative.

It’s bizarre (and by bizarre I mean terrifying) that a blatantly extremist, genocidal position of wanting a sovereign nation with an almost 10 million population wiped from existence is currently seen on the left as an obvious position to have that people are ostracised and abused for not holding, while those who advocate for safety, dignity, justice, and peaceful coexistence for the people of this nation *and* her neighbours are seen as holding the extreme, genocidal position. I’ve actually lost count of the amount of times I’ve been called a “supporter of genocide” and told I should kill myself or it’s hoped that terrible things happen to me because I hold the unforgivable opinion that *checks notes* Israelis are human beings and deserve to live.

What kind of upside down bizarro fucking timeline are we living in?!

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family
