Half Life 3 is looking good!

This is utterly pathetic and totally hypocritical of the London Labour Party. When you abstain on human rights you are the people Archbishop Desmond Tutu criticised for taking the side of the oppressor. You should all be totally ashamed of yourselves.

"The London Assembly has raised serious concerns about the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s revised Code of Practice, warning it is discriminatory, contradictory and unworkable." www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

With trans rights under attack as never before, we need to show our support for the trans community. Will you join us? goodlawproject.org/s/d23a8a

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

Over 6000 signatories in just a few hours. I am hoping we could make a massive statement with this. This is the kind of thing you need to get your mum to sign 👇

Grateful to the Telegraph for providing the definitive answer to its own question, albeit in quite small letters.

My pettiest Church of England take is that we need to do something about the mitres the Bishops wear. I have seen exactly one good mitre in the CofE and it's owned by the retired bishop who does our confirmations (pictured, right). The rest of them look like they come free with a burger king meal.

It is worth noting that the internal budget rationale for things like publishing “troubleshooting instructions” and “knowledge base articles” often not “customer success” but “contact deflection.” That is, they are worth producing because they reduce the need for expensive human assistance.

The aim of customer chatbots is not to be useful, it’s to make you give up in despair and go away, having received what can contemptuously be referred to as ‘support’.

Mitch McConnell has post-polio syndrome and people understand this post-viral illness is real. Millions have long covid and people do not understand this post-viral illness is real. You see, post-viral illnesses only exist when you're not personally at risk.

For our cis allies, please understand that HRT is a medical need not a desire for many trans people. Our surgeons warn us never to stop taking it because we don’t produce our own hormones and would suffer medically dangerous complications. Yet, we are scared the NHS will remove our medication.

Devastating news for the two people who were there

Vital analysis of how the EHRC have misled global human rights regulators and parliament about the nature of criticisms of the UK and the EHRC from the UN independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity.

lol my dude is incandescently mad

What makes the case of the PLO so unique in the history of national liberation struggles is that it's one of the only groups in modern history to actually acquiesce to nearly all the demands of the aggressor in an attempt to reach a resolution and in the end this permanentized the conflict.

Finally, bluesky reaches its apotheosis: ONLY alt text

Apparently it’s 11 years today since I discovered that adding googly eyes to the tap on a wine box makes it look like Shaun the Sheep.

When I posted this back in 2025, I was swarmed by "rule of law" apologists who called this unnecessarily alarmist. If you were one of those people, may I humbly suggest you sit the next year or so out?

The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

July 2nd, 1982: A Los Angeles man, Larry Walters, took off from his backyard in a lawn chair attached to 42 Army surplus weather balloons. Lawnchair Larry ascended to 16,000 feet and descended by shooting out the balloons with a pellet gun. He was fined by the FAA.

I cracks me up when people are like "You couldn't make THIS movie or show today because people are so politically correct and sensitive!" Sir. There was an entire board in Hollywood dedicated to sniffing out any onscreen hint of married people having sex. Lucy couldn't say "pregnant." Sit down.

The EHRC repeatedly suggested the UN Independent Expert had misunderstood its position. The newly released correspondence tells a more complicated story, showing that after reviewing the Commission's objections, he reaffirmed his conclusions instead of retracting them. tacc.org.uk/2026/07/03/h...

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

IIRC, it was on an episode of "Victoria" in 2019 that the BBC first mentioned the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/vie...

They were arrested and charged with "interference with key national infrastructure" For walking slowly across a bridge 🤦‍♂️ (an offence which was used for the first time only two days beforehand)

It is ... very interesting that this keeps happening. Juries are by definition made up of a random sample from the electoral roll, and they continue to express support for climate protestors when put in a contemplative environment juststopoil.org/2026/07/03/a...

Left: Lisa Nandy complains about a lack of regulation on social media Right: Lisa Nandy quitting Twitter because of a lack of regulation on social media Lisa Nandy has been paid an extra £135,010 ministerial salary for the past two years to not do her job of regulating social media and run away

As I said in my first way too long video about him "oh don't worry he's a known liar, but he's lying to those other guys, not you." Isn't a great strategy and doesn't provide a stable foundation for government once you actually have to do things.

Really is amazing how so many people in the media seem to be completely unaware that other people can see what they write in the newspaper, not just the 100 people in their target audience.

Good morning Blue Sky

Made £6m from this fraud. Were fined £500,000. I'm no business or legal whizz but that looks like it's a fraud worth committing 🤔

This is the social murder of disabled people, and I really wish people who aren't disabled would shout about it as much as we do. WHY are we having to be the ones who have to be squeezed even more AGAIN.

The scandal here is people in the SNP were advising a homophobe on how to achieve power without revealing her true intentions and political inclinations.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Labour U-turning on Palantir for the NHS is a major victory for @zackpolanski.bsky.social, the only main party leader to campaign vocally on this, and before it was a big issue in people’s minds. The main loser is rightwing transphobe Wes Streeting for whom this is an embarrassing defeat.

This here is the entire crux of the issue. We had sensible regulations requiring years of testosterone suppression and hormone therapy to play in women's sports. This had not been a problem for nearly twenty years, including at the olympics. Then the right made it one by straight up lying about it.

No school should be on X or oblige parents to get updates from it. A site that actively promotes porn, bullying, hate and fascism is not an appropriate place to post pictures of sports days.

Godzilla: I was ‘slam dunk’ for SNP leadership until crushing cityscapes into radioactive dust under my mighty mighty tread

This must be remembered: ALL Labour’s transphobic measures, from harming/killing children by withdrawing healthcare & introducing state-sponsored conversion therapy to an attempted national toilet ban worse than anything from Trump/MAGA were imposed without a single vote in parliament.

Fascism constantly depends on context slippages and lack of vigilance. It's a hand pulling out a dagger behind your back but if you notice odd movements before you get stabbed the fascist will smile and say "I'm so sorry I bumped into you" & go on about his day like he wasn't getting ready to murder

Sex Matters are currently courted by the UK government and EHRC as if they were a real feminist organisation only interested in the rights of women, and at the same time they were attending that far right conference ARC alongside all the other fascist groups.
