I give no shits about the royal family but I enjoyed watching Harry's interview on colbert. It sounds like he gets shat upon constantly. The fact that the right wing press hate him is enough for me to like him. He complained that the UK press constantly cite anonymous Palace sources in their made up stories about him, and I decided to go the Daily Mail website to see their article about the interview, it was full of anonymous Palace sources pissing and moaning about it lol

although the author is trans, i suspect the bbc isn’t publishing this lengthy article about an American hockey league in good faith:

Team Trans: The "Life-Saving" Ice Hockey Team Backed by the NHL

quote:

Since its founding in 2019, Team Trans has played hockey tournaments with mixed teams of trans men and women playing alongside each other. Players are graded on their hockey ability to keep matches even and to ensure all those who want to play can, without being drawn into debates over whether transgender athletes can safely and fairly participate in mainstream sport.

this probably looks like a moderate solution to a lot of Britons

Prince Harry has reportedly claimed he killed 25 people when he was an Apache helicopter pilot during his second tour of duty in Afghanistan.

The Duke of Sussex makes the claim in his memoir, Spare, which was due to be published next week but has been leaked and accidentally put on sale in Spain.

He flew on six missions that resulted in “the taking of human lives”, something of which he is neither proud nor ashamed.

In the heat of combat, the prince did not think of the 25 as “people” but instead as “chess pieces” that had been taken off the board, The Telegraph reported.

Doesn't really seem like "crazy poo poo about killing people"

quote:

Harry called the media’s coverage of the Taliban killing story “the most dangerous lie that they have told,” claiming that the reporting made it seem as if he was boasting about the number of people he killed in Afghanistan.

Harry added that if he heard anyone boasting about a thing like killing people on the battlefield “I’d be angry,” but claimed this representation of his words was a lie and he hoped people will be able to see the context now that the book is out.

Colbert, who has read that section of the book, said he felt it was a “very thoughtful description of what that knowledge is like to have” and later added that this wasn’t particularly new information as he mentioned a 10-year-old Reuters article reporting that Harry had killed insurgents in Afghanistan.

Harry agreed with Colbert and said his words were not dangerous “but the spin of my words are dangerous,” referring to the elevated threat he said he and his family now face because of the stories.

The Duke of Sussex also claimed that one of the reasons he writes about this in his memoir is that he wanted to be honest about his experience of serving in Afghanistan and hoped it would give other veterans space to do the same without shame.

Harry added that his whole goal in sharing that detail was to reduce the “number of suicides” among veterans, which drew applause from the audience.

Yeah, a huge chunk of military training is just about dehumanising the enemy. Because it turns out that killing people is kind of not normal behaviour.

It's absolutely not good that this is standard but good luck changing that & still having an armed force able to go to help the Americans do imperialism.
