You'd never know it from these headlines that she lost all her claims on the actual substance of the case, claiming that trans people must be banned from bathrooms.

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law. 🧵👇

It is costing more to grow wheat in South Africa than farmers can earn from selling it, and the industry is sounding the alarm.

Consider the gift of cash if you're not sure what non-cash gift someone would enjoy. Apply this thinking to universal basic income too. You don't know for sure what someone else needs. Only they do. Trust them to buy what they need when able to.

I fully intended to vote SNP1/Scottish Greens2 anyway for a strong Indy presence, but with the amount of free and bbc-sponsored publicity Reform is going to get by GE26 it has *double* value. It's the best way to keep repellent Reform out.

Obviously Starmer doesn’t mean; -young people who are disabled, -young people who are trans/non-binary, -young people who (or whose parents) are fleeing war, poverty, the effects of climate change or persecution.

What is wrong with this leadership? Why are we paying people to do worse than nothing? How is it worse than nothing you say? They aren’t doing nothing quietly, no! The are promoting nothing, like its an actual plan.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯 USGS Live stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiyt...

A Warning from History | A sign of political tone-deafness, playing with symbolism without respecting its roots & history.

It's like they've never watched cartoons before.

In a Jacques-Louis David show at the Louvre, there’s no major reveal of new evidence nor the advancement of novel theses, nor even particularly creative interpretation. No need. It is simply a magnificent exhibition of note-perfect curation.

I have three copies of Climate Champions by @rachelsarah.bsky.social to give away! I bought a bunch when they came out (I’m in it). This book, targeted at middle and high schoolers, features biographies of a diversity of women working on climate action across disciplines.

"R&F Drawing Oils seem to land in a Goldilocks zone many artists will be excited about – combining the immediacy of oil pastel painting with the permanence of oil paint. R&F Drawing Oils are waxier, firmer, and smaller than an oil stick and oilier, softer, and larger than an oil pastel." #painting

This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

And we can’t say they haven’t been practicing this scenario over the past 6 yrs. JCVI have been blatant about their cost/benefit analysis for vaccines since 2022, reducing access & normalising sickness until everyone pretends we’re all immune now, except for those who die & the 2m with LongCovid.

It's revealing about taboos around racism that the visceral bullying racism of schoolboy Farage cuts through while the much more consequential thinly veiled racism of adult Farage doesn't. Many people need that veil and flinch when it's removed. You can advocate racist policies but not say the words

#birdoftheday is #songbird so why not actual song? I’ve only ever seen photos, but why not, here’s a Canyon Wren doing its thing in Northern Nevada!

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper
