Whole bunch of words here from the BBC about what on earth Musk is doing with Twitter.
None of those word seem to suggest "He's a racist and a capitalist and he bought it to push racism and capitalism further into the overton window"
I mean any time a billionaire buys a media outlet, they're not doing it because newspapers are so massively profitable Aunty Beeb!
They are doing it so they can put their fingers on the scale of public opinion.

I also give literally no fucks at all how professional or Olympic boxing matches divide up which weights and sexes are allowed to punch each other, so it's weird to find myself arguing about it at all. (Mostly elsewhere pasted here)
Presumably they should have all the types of combinations of competition? Some of each where every sex and weight combination are allowed?

FWIW: I think that in all of the sports, it should be cheating to punch your opponents in the face!
Even if they have a similar weight and combination of chromosome types!
I don't make the rules, but I wouldn't personally play or recommend anyone else played games where the opponent is allowed to punch you in the face if they they have similar weight or chromotype.
Seems obvious, but, have you thought about cricket?

So there you go then. That's where I
end up when I am called upon to tell a
builder how I want the bathroom given
the constraints of the existing
property and expense of either removing
the cupboard or wet-rooming the entire
thing and lack of choice of types of toilets.
Ideally the shower-tray would be black
too but they didn't seem to offer that
in the suggested catalogues at least.

So the obvious thing is to switch to the other favourite colour of red. It'd match the towels then. Or save me buying yellow towels.

You may remember the election-night flood and subsequent plans to finally get around to doing the bathroom instead of just keep patching it.
It has needed rebuilding for the longest time, but it has become apparent the stop-cock doesn't work, and I was just there was a second one for the circuit with the leak.
The builder has been asking me what I wanted.
🤷
I dunno.
Doesn't really matter.
But nobody else can decide so I have to have opinions about it. They had me look at some lists of things.
