Shout out to Aidan O'Neill QC who first proposed reasonable accommodation for religious believers back on @ukhumanrightsb 7.5 years ago. That idea wound its way through Eweida in Strasbourg (didn't bite), Lady Hale's 2014 lecture and now today's judgment ukhumanrightsblog.com/2011/03/29/squ…
Today's gay cake judgment didn't quite go there but it has undoubtedly increased the protection of religious believers to not be forced to manifest beliefs they don't agree with, and all people not to be forced to manifest political opinions they don't agree with.

Have just seen that my shout out to Aidan O'Neill should have been a double shout out. He did an opinion for Christian Institute on this case published back in 2015 and if you read from section 2 it basically pre-empts today's judgment christian.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Thatcher’s resignation
No wait it was Mandella’s release - that was earlier in the same year

No wait, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall

I’m not very good at this. It was stuff that happened in about 1989/90

I wasn’t very interested in politics
Wait, does Scott and Charlene’s wedding count?

Have dusted off my Nintendo Wii and playing through Super Mario Galaxy with my 8-year-old. Extreme fun and pleasure!
Such an amazingly imaginative and charming game and surprisingly good with two players
Watching a child play a classic Nintendo game for the first time is an amazing pleasure. These games are magical. Takes me back to playing Super Mario World on my friend's imported Super Famicom in 1991 #nerd

What a shame. I was heartened to see the Golders Green mosque, which got a lot of nasty criticism from within the Jewish community when it took over the building, was organising an outreach event commemorating Muslims who helped Jews during the Holocaust. Now cancelled.
Here is the story. Another example of the damaging hostility shown to Muslim-Jewish interfaith events by @RmSalih (see also his idiotic response to the @MitzvahDay chicken soup making event) journal.quilliaminternational.com/2019/01/04/the…
@RmSalih @MitzvahDay The event was a travelling exhibition by internationally renowned Holocaust museum Yad Vashem. Here’s what the chicken soup truther had to say

I am investigating whether left-wing Jews are behind the anti-Semitic attacks in America.

Their motive would be to dissuade American Jews for voting Republican.

No answers yet.
2) Why?
1 — Scare Jews - vote against Trump
2 — Disregard for people vs political goal
3 — Affiliation with Islamic terror apologists
4 — Propensity for violence
5 — Israel not concerned
6 — White nationalists operate silently

Follow the $ / social networks.
3) Hitler was a socialist.
And probably a Jew.

Lunch break at Edinburgh Sheriff court in @WingsScotland v @kezdugdale defamation case. At legal debate stage. Preliminary hearing has already taken place. Defender seeking dismissal. Pursuer seeking progress to evidential hearing.
Substance of Dugdale's defence has been claim of fair comment & human rights jurisprudence. At points tone strikingly mocking of Campbell: 'if you dish it out you should take it'. Also 1st time "sanctimonious little wank-hole" has possibly been quoted in a court of law...
Dugdale counsel characterised @WingsScotland statement of long-term support for LGBT rights as the "some of my best friends are Jews defence", & that claims of humour could not dilute impact of previous statements made by Campbell regarding Chelsea Manning.

Trigger Warning: A thread on the commodification & conscription of women’s bodies. You’ve been warned. Exploring relationships between childbearing, work, coercive control, breast feeding, formula, gig economies, capitalist exploitation, colonialism and colonialist paternalism...
2. In this week’s culture war, the Leche Paratroopers have attacked the Working Parents Brigade. I’m making my stand: I’m Team #FeedBabies I will not cede ground to either side. I posit that both sides are oppressive. Formula is an undeniable good for economic & social justice.
3. Personal experience: I’d be dead without formula. Smother was a shitty parent, way too young, had a massive staph infection (or something) at my birth. (She’s been known to exaggerate.) My gran & g’gran were my primary caretakers.

So, this afternoon, around 3:00 Eastern, I'm going to start digging into Trump's campaign rally speech from Michigan. Go ahead and like/bookmark this tweet if you don't want to miss it.
...okay, I know this risks the news cycle utterly blowing up over something else, but I'm pushing back my Michigan speech coverage a day. It's that long and that bananas. I'm going to need more time to delve.
Okay, folks. I'm about ready to start digging into Trump's campaign rally speech from Saturday. You can read the transcript I'm working off here. factba.se/transcript/don…

If you want to kill people, the most effective way to do this in the modern era (since gun laws and annoying people like the Police will make things awkward) is to persuade people to stop (or never start) a statin.

Over the long term, 1 in 10 will be killed by that choice.
You can even write books about it and make money.
And be seen as a crusader against a crooked medicogovernmental conspiracy.
The internet is a good place to operate, because most lay people can't distinguish scientific reasoning from pseudoscience, and because ...
Excellent question from Arnab:

Heh heh, the Amazing Yuripridio, world-conquering hypnotist
But we must be careful on this. I have a PhD student at #ORBITA hq called Frances Wood. I met her first as a manager in a research unit a few years ago. She was the nicest, kindest person there, who would always make me tea when I visited anyone in the unit.
By and by, she wrote a PhD proposal with me. She was a trained nurse, as many of that unit's staff are. But when we submitted the grant, I discovered in her CV that she was also secretly a trained psychologist.
