I suppose the TV licence in the UK is a sort of paywall, even if it is made of swiss cheese and enforced by folk with all the legal standing of Larry the Head Mouser or whatever moggy it is now.

I pay it, but I’m loathed to now. Not because I watch any live TV or BBC programming, but because I use the BBC News site a metric fucktonne and I suppose I justify it to myself as funding the BBC News department rather than Graham Norton’s salary.

Maybe I’ll fuck it off though. I do fancy a letter war with Capita or whoever managed the enforcement these days.

Tough line to draw really.

The legal system is built on “innocent until proven guilty”, so it’s understandable why entire careers aren’t brought to a halt because of one or more allegations of misconduct.

Problem is, how do we let that continue while listening to complainants, making them feel heard, and safeguarding future potential victims?

I’m not asking you in particular, you’re just the comment I’ve replied to - it’s one of those impossible situations to draw a line in the sand without fucking over one of the sides.

Speaking as a layman, I just think it’s fuckin’ awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.

Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin’ land where they started seven or eight minutes later.

Science is fuckin mint, man.
