This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"

this actually still fucking sucks because it’s still mocking disability and framing it as punishment. this dem influencer account posts shit like this regularly, and it sucks that some of my oomfies still follow it

Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich

I contrast their anti-trans campaigning of the LGBA with their claim to be a pro-LGB group. As their campaigning against the Welsh Assembly's 'LGBTQ+ Action Plan' and pro-LGB Hate Crime Bill in Scotland attests, their focus is on undermining trans rights, not supporting LGB people ...

My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall. bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/4/1-...

Sky News think a Green PM isn't out of the question This is wild!

Briefly in my head I thought that Starbucks workers were using military strikes and I just went oh OK, and scrolled on. The world is so weird already that didn't touch the sides

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

On autism and loneliness: "Many autistic people want to build connections with people, but this can so easily become overstimulating and exhausting. This creates a vicious cycle. Autistic processing may intensify this cycle." From @craeioe.bsky.social: crae.ioe.ac.uk/trapped-in-a... #neurodiversity

In Finland they’ve been taught how to spot fake news as part of a critical thinking curriculum since 2014 including how to spot a doctored photo, check for inconsistencies as well as countering misinformation that sows division. We are more than 10 years behind on this.

Zohran Mamdani focused on childcare costs to win the race for New York Mayor, and the UK needs to have the same conversation about how no-cost childcare could help more than just parents. Me for @glamouruk.bsky.social: www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/zohr...

Down and down it goes. Bigly. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Hoping this helps our colleagues across the industry

People were stupid, sometimes. They thought the Library was a dangerous place because of all the magical books, which was true enough, but what made it really one of the most dangerous places there could ever be was the simple fact that it was a library. Guards! Guards!

Some fucker started fireworks at 11pm. Argh we had the dog stuff all evening, go to bed and...

A reminder that Classic FM start their bonfire night calming playlist for pets at 5pm

INTERVIEWER: Any comment on Zohran Mamdani's victory and what it says about immigrants and trans rights? LABOUR POLITICIAN: (panicking) I've never heard of New York

seems like bad business?

anyway my message to all doomers who think democracy is fucked forever is that I, a queer brown woman who's lived here a third of my life but only became a citizen 6 months ago, just got to cast my first-ever vote in an US election for Zohran I'm not fucking done. Y'all don't get to be, either.

I remain hopeful that the greatest obstacle to Reform ever getting into government is Reform itself. Yes, people vote differently between local and national elections, but at least they're now seeing how inept, and seemingly corrupt, Reform is, among other things. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hm the world seems intent on arguing with me today and I am not the girl for this. Christians, do not come to my door unless I saw you at the local protests against the racism and biogotry. Sellers, you promise something good and give me this piece of shite I could sew myself, then argue with me?

Sometimes, to paraphrase Terry Pratchett, you hear the voice of the electorate. And it growls

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

I just got out of D&D and am finally watching The Speech and I got as far as "these are not hands that have been allowed to hold power" before I burst into tears www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MfB...

Claire Coutinho voted in June to continue to prosecute and imprison women for having abortions.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

WHAT A FRIDAY HAPPY NEWS STORY!!

ECHR was drafted by British lawyers at the behest of Winston Churchill following the horrors of WW2 & the sacrifices of so many to free a continent from tyrany & buchery It's a corner stone of why we say lest we forget Remember that when you go supporting foreign funded Farage

@joeneguse.bsky.social for House Minority Leader.

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation. Here in the UK, just one-third of the vote could give Nigel Farage a huge majority of MPs. Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

Yes, especially when you port it over from X to do it. Stop that shit, my dude. It reflects poorly on you.

Nothing about us without us doesn’t just apply to Autistic people It’s sex workers too and any other marginalized group listen to the people you want to help, ask them, heed their message otherwise you’re not “helping” you’re just being oppressive nothing about us without us any of us all of us

Guidance is just that, it is not law🙄 They seem a bit rattled for people who have had nothing but their own way for the last half a decade. Makes you wonder if they are scared of the upcoming legal challenges.
