“Evidence‐based medicine has three pillars: (i) appraisal of research evidence, (ii) real‐world clinical expertise, and (iii) individual patient values and preferences. The Review's failures across all three are evident.” Oh dear, Cass. www.mja.com.au/journal/2025...

Enters into a criminal conspiracy with one of Starfleet’s many bad admirals to advance a human supremacist agenda. Sneers at Bashir’s stern admonishments, so Dax and Kira both deck him.

*Waves from a little less hotness* 👋🏼

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Social media becomes dangerous for me whenever Mawaan Rizwan has a new series out: every scroll brings a new immolation of hotness and charm 🥵😍

These two are so good it’s definitely worth braving martial law and presidential fiat to see their show 🥰

When someone asks what it means to be gay I show them this image:

I do think the balancing of rights when controlling speech/expression is legally challenging, but I’d also say a case could be made that Linehan has for some time presented a greater threat to individuals’ safety and wellbeing than Palestine Action.

I don’t think this is glorious for ZP (falls into predictable ‘gotcha’ and has to scramble to reject the premise) but it’s certainly interesting to see Yvette Cooper’s husband pushing Labour’s argument that leftwing voters should shut up and accept crumbs while they throw meat to the far-right.

“The weapons with which the Labuburgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now turned against the Labuburgeoisie itself.”

Yes, it’s horrifying that they’ve installed an investment executive and Thiel protégée into a vital public health role. But when this gets turned into a heartbreaking miniseries about government incompetence and delinquency causing needless death and suffering, at least the cast will be excellent.

The Quakers are doing exactly what all public services are legally allowed to do even if the EHRC wants to pretend they're not: say gender-based toilets are inclusive and for anyone bothered by that as a matter of belief, there are stand-alone cubicles that they are very free to use. 1/

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Got past level 99 on 9 Kings; eagerly awaiting my elevation to the House of Lords or whatever 💅🏻

I understand that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all. So I can say it’s nice that he’s dead.

Stephen Miller Tears Up As Son Says First 14 Words

I often make this point but while we've all known for a while that this is what they wanted in the end, I think it is notable that high-level officials now across different branches of government are explicitly saying, straight up, that they want a military occupation of the United States

If it keeps him off their back about scrapping DEI or pressganging them into ICE, I don’t really care if Apple gives Donald Trump a shiny bauble that makes him feel like a special boy.

Crusader Kings 3 anticipating my Saturday night plans.

East Anglia does have some interesting place names.

It’s good to see Leo XIV going beyond abstract ecumenical preoccupations and really helping people in their day-to-day lives.

Grim reading, which serves to illustrate why (a) Pride is still necessary; (b) Pride must include trans people and calls for trans rights (solidarity); and (c) we also need specific and dedicated advocacy and demonstration in support of our trans siblings.

It just keeps telling everyone to turn right.

Well thank goodness the government is actually taking something like this seriously and isn’t just droning out vacuous law-and-order bulls- …oh.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Swept some leaves into a pile. Obviously it’s now a nest.

Exactly! Racists are out there screaming blue murder about a ‘repressive’ religion while *their* pals are getting ready to weaponise religious objections to erase LGBTQ narratives in education and destroy public school curricula.

As someone who likes Sci-fi, TTRPGs and video games, being online is exhausting; so much catastrophe content declaring everything RUINED or BROKEN or DEAD. It’s one of the (many) reasons I enjoyed Andor. It’s not just good; it’s so good even professionally unhappy bigots can’t drum up outrage.

Get your cis friends to read this. It reveals how the anti-trans hate groups are really part of a web of extremist right-wing hate groups…

It was when JK Rowling said that the Cass Review was a peer review itself and that's why it didn't need to be peer reviewed I realised she's an idiot. Anyway, here's a peer review of Cass. Guess what it finds?

Yeah, Damar. What kind of people bomb hospitals?

In much happier news this is awesome. Felt incredibly lucky to see Escola in the role back in January: now wondering if I can somehow swing a trip back to see Monsoon…

Many saying it; worth repeating: depriving trans people of lifesaving medical care is not a *distraction* from attempts to take away Americans’ healthcare. This *is taking* Americans’ healthcare away. Right now. It’s not a side-story; it’s the story. Calling it a diversion is offensive & complicit.

14-year-old me: [very excited] 40-year-old me: Mel Brooks is still alive and HOW old?! youtu.be/ewKuhclROA0?...

I’m unsurprised by this because it’s always been smoke and mirrors. But I don’t think this will matter (or even land at all) with his supporters, because it’s *always* been smoke and mirrors: there’s plentiful evidence he’s not the dealmaker he claims to be - sadly can’t see this changing minds now.

The latest astroturf group to be treated by the press as a genuine campaign is "Don't Divide Us", which like the "LGB Alliance" has links to Tufton St, is pally with the so-called "free speech" right wing lobby and keeps its funding secret. Don't let yourself be taken in.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Unlike the more hardline followers of other national treasures, who favour a smaller party of professional revolutionaries, Dencheviks believe in a broader, more diverse party to effect a bourgeois-democratic revolution as a precursor to socialist revolution.

Loving the bug in Crusader Kings III that occasionally renders characters with all their head organs and hair but no skin.

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.  Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K. Follow the money.
