Glinner posted a death threat 'as a joke', which even as a joke is still a criminal offence under the malicious communications act. It'll be interesting to see if he's allowed back

They became vestigial a long time ago


So a horse's knee is like a wrist and it walks on middle fingers


Which is partially a factor of evolution (also the correct way to walk on Thatcher's grave) and not terrible for a properly proportioned horse, which may look more like


But yeah a 'thoroughbred' racehorse can't handle breaking one of its giant finger legs.

Where this is going to get interesting in the years to come is how cloning effects the race horsing industry.
Already there have been stories about dead horses being cloned to continue the bloodline. It will be really interesting to see what the net results are.

https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2023...ly%20identical.

This was a story I heard of the radio about two months ago. The part that made no sense to me was, they cloned a horse that died of a kidney disease. So won't the cloned horse also die from this? (Assuming it doesn't die from some clone based health complication.)

I find the Linehan stuff so grimly fascinating. I’ve never seen someone torpedo their life so badly, almost entirely from becoming chronically addicted to social media. It’s like an experiment to see whether it’s possible to post yourself to death - I think he might actually manage it.

He's having a good contest with Laurence Fox, that's for sure. Sam Bankman-Fried is definitely winning the "post yourself to death" race, but that's more to do with him being too stupid to avoid admitting to crimes than with ruining a perfectly normal life.

Yeah, they're a bit too far the other way. Zebras etc. are the closest modern naturally selected horses for their environment, but earlier donkey-like merychippus frames were the proportion where the other fingers started receding.

The Skyrian horse is probably the closest to a modern example of what a Euro horse would look like without strange aristocratic breeding ideas, but still able to freely buck and pronk around on its single fingertips.

Glinner is the man in that Great Reset conspiracy video. His wife left and he's out of his house and placed in a globalist prison camp surrounded by Woke Noodles and Trans Netflix and Gender Neutral Cola and he hates it.

And in both cases there was a "well stop being an arsehole then" door at all times just off camera.

It is bizarre to see Glinner go from one of the early 2000s must-follow accounts like Stephen Fry, to conspiracy crank. Weirder still was how it seemed to sort of happen without anyone really noticing, and now he's a spite fuelled shell of anything he used to be.

He was even mildly normal about the IT crowd episode when it was first pointed out. I can't find the tweet but it's like reading an alternative universe dispatch, someone tells him his language was a poor choice and his reply is an affable kind of "Ah I see, will bear it in mind." And then you go from that to him straight up making death threats, and I honestly wonder if he had some kind of a stroke or something?

Sort of like marvelling that someone can go from the bottom of a hill to the top, they get there by taking one step at a time. Each one builds upon the last. He, like a lot of his ilk, have simply spent a huge amount of time socializing and speaking with people who are similarly deranged, coming up with ideas that make each other more deranged.

BBC are making a bunch of their news presenters redundant.

Huw Edwards, Reeta Chakrabarti, Clive Myrie and Sophie Raworth. I think Nick Robinson is in there too. All asked to take voluntary redundancy.

Bold move to get rid of Huw when hes going to be fronting the coronation coverage.

I think they've been wanting to get rid of Huw Edwards for ages because he's expensive and a bit of a prima donna, the last time they tried it they hosed it and made him a cause celebre for Welsh nationalism which was pretty funny.

Surprised they are ditch Nick Robinson, I guess he just isn't right wing enough anymore.

Assume they'll be hiring a bunch of pricks from GB News or just getting Laura Kuenssburg to present everything.

Over the last few months we've been dealing with some dramas with a relative and it involves a fairly dramatic shift in personality and some extremely odd behaviour. The same family member was treated for a benign brain tumour with subsequent radiotherapy about 6 years ago. We aren't certain it's related but it seems the likely candidate. Neurology is weird though and I honestly wonder whether something has snapped in Glinners brain to explain his descent into what he has become.

To drag this back up - the RCN spent the whole time after the pay offer until now basically instructing members to vote for this offer - there is no guarantee there will be any more pay discussions and 'if we thought we could get more we would have fought for it'
Personally after a week of covering the junior doctors strike in trust that has just expected everything to continue as normal I'm very glad I voted against a COVID bonus and 5%.

His path is not particularly unusual for terfs though, is the thing. So either brain tumours disproprotionately make you into a specific kind of dickhead or the process is not physiological.

It was incredibly insulting for them to have tried to push this so hard and I know for a lot of friends that it’s damaged their opinion of the RCN & the leadership.
