This is a huge testament to the power of local journalism and @londoncentric.media's work. Bravo. open.substack.com/pub/londonce...

so you've probably heard about the London measles outbreak. A lot of people are talking about anti-vax misinformation, but that's not actually the problem here. The problem is austerity. 🧵

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

This is blackout poetry to me

Nick Tenconi and his turning point gang launched multiple violent raids targeting LGBT events in the UK. My friend Ada got her nose broken by his Nazi buddies brought in from Romford to attack a Lewisham pub in 2023. Photos/reporting here by @jessothomson.co.uk transsafety.network/posts/far-ri...

Looking at #epstein reports , thinking of the deference to power that allows all this and the people who have fought so hard for justice - here is a not nice #poem that erupted today

Angeliki Stogia's role at Arup. Arup are a global construction advisory firm that donated £33k to minister Darren Jones in the form of a secondee to work in his office.

So why would a Kazakhstani billionaire be trying to secretly bankroll Reform? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

No organisation existing solely to eliminate trans people should be a charity. #DeregisterSexMatters

Good Lord, I thought last year’s Today programme obsession - the trans rights debate - but 2026 is saturated with “children & social media” It’s everywhere, oozing out of every journalistic pore 06:00-09:00, never an opportunity lost But I’m yet to hear:put the burden on the socmedia not children

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Sex Matters are trying to influence MPs on the Council of Europe to stop them banning conversion therapy. Here’s GLP’s tool to send an email to push back. goodlaw.social/9f10d1

It's Friday. It's the 'the shortest amount of time anyone has owned a trouser press' repost. It's also my birthday, and I reckon pre-ordering my book is the greatest gift of all 💚 www.amazon.co.uk/Sort-Your-De...

I don’t think I’ve ever felt the anxiety over going to see a film that I feel over going to see The Voice of Hind Rajab next week - I know I don’t want to see it and I know I must see it uk.thevoiceofhindrajabfilm.com?utm_source=g...

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

Today ICE murdered a woman in cold blood in Minneapolis. In a democracy, this insane act of violence would get a full investigation. Firings. Jail. In fascism, innocent victims are merely labeled "enemies of the state." No investigations needed. Thus, state-sanctioned violence against the people.

Rich Berman is suuuuch a cunt

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person that remembers Toby Young was just relatively recently a social pariah after he was booted from an appointment to a state position when it was revealed he was involved in a secret white supremacist eugenicist conference at UCL, and also creepy sexist tweets

Can I ask a favour? Life has been really tough lately due to terminal family illness and I just haven’t had the spoons for decent self promotion. Could you please give the “Little but Fierce” kickstarter prelaunch page a repost (and maybe a follow)? www.kickstarter.com/projects/dcb...

More great news on the book front. My new publisher has pushed the ebook of Trans Britain to Bookshop UK. I have added this to the paperback in my affiliate bookshop there. Check out more than 100 trans-themed titles that I’ve curated there and, if you buy books from there, I get about 10% […]

UCKG pastor’s exorcism in London resulted in child’s death and jailing of 4 guardians. They backed Bolsonaro in Brazil. They are anti LGBT+ Don’t give them money!

Read my @novaramedia.com report on the Peggie affair, and the stumbling block the gender-critical movement appears to have hit, here: novaramedia.com/2025/12/16/a...

Slovakia rewrote its Constitution to erase rights for LGBT+ people and reject international human rights protections. The EU has opened an infringement procedure – but stronger action depends on us. Add your name now. a.allout.org/s/v0qyx/

LOL. GB News issued a live apology to Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, but later deleted the entire show from YouTube to suppress the embarrassment. Carole Malone was threatened with a lawsuit unless she apologised.

The future of vibe coding

Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Sydney attack.

Yes, Reform's Events Co-ordinator called LGBT people nonces, but who hasn't when they've had a few drinks? After all, that's when we say what we really think.

this font list looks like a lost Fall album

I don't want the rules to change. But this is a red herring. The rules are clear & the actors within the system are qualified and experienced. There should be few mistakes. The 13 overturned cases ignores those thrown out here & also those never pursued because they had zero chance of 'success'.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people. I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

I have had enough of men pretending to care about women’s safety to further their own profile & agenda. It is the lowest of the low. Women see through men who pose as the solution, but are in fact the problem. The Trump playbook ends one way, with all women losing out.

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike. Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

#NHS Is this the system we want for the UK? Do our doctors want to be rich so much that they'll let the system be screwed over for extortionate profit? Can YOU afford private insurance? Would you qualify? Could you afford the excesses? Do we want to be another MAGA state? Fuck no.

"there's a new serif in town"

When I wrote the Commission’s position on the conversion practices petition that went before the Scottish Parliament’s EHRCJ Committee she removed a reference to a position articulated by the UN’s independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity on the grounds the UN ‘is a lobby group’.

Would anyone like my ticket to tonight's Daphne Oram night at the Barbican from 7.30pm? Sadly I can't go; any reasonable offer fine, DM for details, thanks

From this infinite monkey, I offer a heart and a mind that is open to so many possibilities of what it is to be human, hopefully other members of the gang will feel similarly #translivesmatter #lgbtq

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts! democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-o...

I volunteer with a London youth club that does amazing things on a budget with low overheads. This week we're running a matched funding campaign. For every £1 donated the club gets £2. And if you donate any amount, I'll give you a free month of London Centric. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.
