When I was a newborn I’m pretty sure my father didn’t present me for inspection before deciding whether to accept me into the household (thanks, dad!)

speech is being restricted,
particularly online. This crackdown is not coming from meddling illiberal politicians, but from the police. Broad and vague laws give public authorities excessive discretion.
I’m not afraid to say that I flopped miserably on the Nvidia question in our
latest news quiz.
