Becoming a Republic would add nothing substantive to UK Democracy. But in allowing it a platform, we ensure that our monarchic system is held accountable so that it continues to reform. Which is to say everyone accusing ZS of treachery for BEING a Republican can fuck right off.

In principle I have no issue with term limit removals. Its the intentions i mistrust. If they got Trump the chance at a #3rdterm, but he lost, they would work hard to strip that power from the Democrat who replaced him. The GOP lost its ability to play fair long ago.

I dont think she intends this, but the net result of this is to 'both sides' the 🇺🇦🇷🇺 war, when only one of those sides is at fault. Russia has abused its neighbours many times before, and will do so again if allowed to.

I rolled my eyes once about Zarah Sultana and now my feed is covered with people slagging her off. I despise the Twitter algorithm. I dont hate the woman, I just think she's wrong about NATO, leave my goddamn feed alone Musk!

If this shit plays out, I think thats me done with politics forever. 326 seats for Reform would cost me all my faith in humanity. I don't think I could even begin to analyse the causes for millions of Brits to be that easily lied to by such obvious charlatans.

Just had to go back over an article by Log Cabin slagging off trans women playing pool. How ludicrously transphobic have you got to be to give a shit about someone's body in a game of Pool? If you can play it drunk in a pub, you shouldnt give a fuck about a player's body.

I would defend constitutional monarchy on its own merits but I don't think youd listen. Instead I will point out that Republicanism is no guarantee of transparency or democracy. The world has enough authoritarian Republics for that to be obvious.

Another day, another poll I scroll past predicting a Reform government. I still think thats laughable: losing a majority that hard under FPTP is unprecedented and we have 4 years for Reform to burn themselves out... But if im wrong, then honestly, whats the point anymore?

Me: Wooo, my first article is done and ready to submit! Me, finally noticing the word limit on the journal website: Oh shit I'm almost double the word limit! Fuck my life.

Honestly, the crap I see thrown at Hazbin Hotel online is just ridiculous. If you stopped enjoying it after the pilot, fine; let the rest of us have our fun.

The genius of this scene is that Emily is so sincere here - she wants to help and thinks this is the way to do so. Her frame of reference is so wrong, because making people happy is her job; but she makes people happy IN HEAVEN, sparkly fun rainbow land. She didnt know.

I SUBMITTED MY FIRST PAPER TO A JOURNAL! HOLY SHIT! What do I put in a Pentagram to summon a nice 'Reviewer 2' #PhD #PhDLife

Aaand my first paper submission ends with my first editorial rejection. Great, now I've got to pick myself up and do it again - with no guarantee that it won't be rejected again. Why did I choose this career path?
