So the government are telling nurses, to consider their patients before they go on strike. This comment is entirely insulting to all nurses. The government should consider the patients when they are setting the pay of those who are caring for them.

Want to know the secret to blogging more often? Lower your standards! A post which you don't think is ready yet is a LOT better than a giant folder full of drafts that no-one ever gets to see (Your readers won't ever know how good the thing you wanted to write would have been)

And as always: one big secret to writing more is to lower your standards Published but "could have been better" is massively more valuable than something that eternally sits in your drafts

A bunch of tech dudes trying to call themselves “prompt engineers” for replacing an artist with a piece of text containing the artist’s name does cast a certain light on the “software engineer” title debate huh

Buying, wearing, and tweeting to 14 million people a picture of yourself wearing a t-shirt that attacks and makes slanderous claims about one specific woman is exactly the kind of online bullying JK Rowling claims to be against. She has Instigated a 14m pile on on one person.

History will not look back well on JK Rowling. She is an architect of hate, not a protector of rights. If your idea of feminism doesn’t include ALL women, you’re not the feminist you think you are

A couple of years ago, @jk_rowling said she would march with trans people for their rights. This was untrue. Today, her Scottish "gender critical" allies are protesting against trans rights not that far from her gaff. She'll march with them, right? No, she tweeted a selfie.

Hi @BBCNews - how about a different headline? “JK Rowling attacks Nicola Sturgeon’s support for trans rights”. Funny you framed it differently. Almost as if the BBC News team is institutionally transphobic. Oh, and by the way, #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives – for conduct that is legal in many states. That’s before you address the clear racial disparities around prosecution and conviction. Today, we begin to right these wrongs.

First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden.

President Biden (@POTUS)Thu, 06 Oct 2022 19:00 +0000

https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1578097880744820736

I’d also like to note that as federal and state regulations change, we still need important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and underage sales of marijuana.

President Biden (@POTUS)Thu, 06 Oct 2022 19:00 +0000

legalising pot is cool, but retrospective legislation and pardons is social justice. seriously - extra fucking dope.

Second: I’m calling on governors to pardon simple state marijuana possession offenses. Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely for possessing marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.

Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin – and more serious than fentanyl. It makes no sense. I’m asking @SecBecerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

I think pot, like alcohol and nicotine, can be very harmful, and should be regulated and taxed accordingly. I have never enjoyed it, personally. But classifying it as a schedule 1 substance is mostly about giving the state the power to harass the people it wants to harass.

I got three questions with President Obama and this was one of them. He said, "I think that the states should handle it" and I thought that was wrong. This is what I wanted him to say.
