  • Freedom. I am free to fall in love with someone else. My partner is free to fall in love with someone else. If she does, then I want her to be with that person if they make her happier than I do, because I love her and I want her to be happy and free. She has the freedom to meet with that person and date them without my knowledge, if that’s what she wants to do. I’m not afraid of that pain, because it’s right that she has that freedom.
    Demanding that you “tell me if you’re having feelings for someone else” is handcuffs, because it essentially destroys any relationship that might otherwise blossom between two other people. The key is to work on your relationship and make sure you’re both getting what you need, not policing the other’s behaviour.






  • I love to criticise the government, I do it quite a lot. But one thing the UK gov does really, really incredibly well is its website. The gov.uk pages are one of the most intuitive and informative things to browse on the internet. It really is excellent AS IT IS. It ain’t broke is what I’m saying.
    So on top of all the very valid concerns about AI accessing the information of i.e. desperate citizens looking for legal help in dire, highly private circumstances, I’ll be mourning the loss of a formerly excellent resource.


  • why is a Labour MP regurgitating industry lies?

    Real head-scratcher, that one. Reeeeal brainteaser. An honest-to-goodness Labour MP? Shilling for think-tanks? In this economy? On Christmas Eve, in the rain?
    Surely not. Because that would mean…

    We have no valid voting choice as people on the left who care about progress and compassion and social justice, and haven’t since the 1970’s. Different flavours of Thatcherite neoliberalism are the only thing anyone under 50 has ever known, and the seemingly endless inertia of that failed ideology within the class-captured, self-reinforcing, closed system of government means it’s likely all we’ll ever know

    Probably just a coincidence.
