It really does feel like there’s a concerted effort in the UK to demean the value of education, coming from some of the most highly educated people in the country.

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

Australia’s Federal Court offers a lesson in how courts can read equalities legislation in a way that recognises “sex” is not a term fixed by biology or birth while also challenging the discriminatory effects of gender stereotyping and policing. The UK Supreme Court could learn from this approach. 🏳️‍⚧️

this is exactly what i kept saying yesterday. for all how scary it is that reform won so many seats they are actually tanking. they're tanking harder than labour are. the only party really, truly, on the rise is the greens.

It’s official: I no longer work for the Observer, they have decided to move away from data journalism. Which means I’m now looking for work! I'm a data journalist who has worked on award-winning projects, and I'm excited to really be able to work on stories that matter 🙏

This is also a huge reason why we don’t have functional data privacy laws, because when politicians are campaigning they want as much access to your data as possible

“I am not involving myself with politics“ Mr police man says on his tour of media shows to comment on politics

Can someone explain to me why we shouldn't police incitement to hatred against some groups but we should against others?

So so so tired of conversations around sex education reform that begin and end with “consent!” As if teaching the concept of consent flips off the “rapist” switch in a persons brain

After a BBC investigation found advisers offering to falsify LGBTQIA+ identities for asylum claims, Lesbians and Gays Support Migrants told @wearequeeraf.com the reporting was homophobically biased Read more: www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-t...

i'm going to get a good grade in "not being murdered", a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

Thanks to @left-foot-forward.bsky.social for this chance to respond to the BBC's deeply flawed 'investigation' into the UK asylum system. leftfootforward.org/2026/04/we-n...

There was a moment when everyone (the media) was convinced he was the *only* person who could “handle” trump (whatever that means)

After listening to the most recent episode of @yourewrongabout.bsky.social I am convinced the solution to the male loneliness epidemic is to bring back crop circles

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

I believe every Wes Streeting person deserves danger and disrespect 🙏😌

I hate so much how cool I think that coinbase advert is, how dare they

If someone asked me whose writing I’m really enjoying atm it would be these three I feel like them joining forces like this is targeting me specially and I’m okay with it

A left wing politician and a right wing politician… on a podcast together? Groundbreaking.

something that’s important to keep in mind when you are trying to recommend harry potter alternatives not written by a vicious transphobe is that one of the reasons they got so popular is that they are stupidly easy to read and your target audience may not be book people at all

Another new journalism / tech meetup? Yes please!

Oh heck yeah! Another journalism tech meetup in London?? Yes please! More of this!

Also with their suggestions that decriminalising drugs would see a great proliferation of drug use all over the place they are just kinda admitting that all thats keeping them from their vices is the law like you wouldnt believe what i’d get up to if it were legal for all men are wild beasts

Has Polymarket removed the ability to download historical market data...

Imagine if the playing field was slanted towards protected groups, instead of there being a literal cabal (well, WhatsApp group) of transphobic literary editors, journalists and publishers

Has anyone said more like Matt Goodlose yet

Who up Qing their GIS?

Incredible work in the fight against maniacs and perverts

It's the new Fully Automated Luxury Communism www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's 2026. Minecraft is 15 years old, GTA Is 25 years old, Sonic is 35 years old, Mario is 45 years old. If you are still doing "What is this strange thing you call 'gaming'", you're as out of touch as someone in 90s who's never heard of rock music, or someone in the 60s who's never seen a movie

This is... actually smart! And evidence based!

I think people still underestimate the extent to which the panic over an increase in trans boys transitioning is about the belief that AFAB bodies are rightfully for breeding and should be preserved as property belonging to their future husbands.

Sometimes it's hard to find the dataviz angle in a story, but chart design is my passion

Editors: by "letting" I mean "commissioning" — publish trans writers, pay them for this kind of deeply impactful and emotionally challenging work, and anticipate that you'll need to protect them from the resulting online backlash. If that takes too much courage, why are you even here?

I estimate around half of the trans people I know IRL are unemployed or underemployed. Probably a solid quarter of the trans people I know do subsistence sex work. We are in crisis, and we're being utterly failed by this country's media and political establishment. Why is this not the narrative?

Even nominally left wing papers have no interest in telling human interest stories about trans people. No one cares. And we're months in.

Nearly a year into many trans people in the UK being forced to use disabled toilets or asked to work from home pending legal advice and stuff and I haven't seen a single "Izzy's boss told her she has to use a disabled toilet, here's how she feels about it" piece in the papers.

Shout out to everyone reading this paper, not understanding it, and drawing the wrong conclusions.🤷🏿‍♂️ Switching to Twitter's algorithmic feed from chronological, only shifts political attitudes to the right *for people susceptible to far-right nonsense.* Because they start following far-right dudes🤡

arguing that Youth Gender Surgery includes ear piercing, just to feel alive

The left [gesturing widely in a way that’s hard to pin down what I’m gesturing to] needs to take AI [gesturing more vaguely] seriously or something [moving both arms now] something will happen I think

Just remembered there very much was a non-binary kid present at that scene: me.

This isn’t the dumbest take on Ozempic that I’ve heard. But it’s close www.ft.com/content/f1ec...

Genuine question because I feel very confused: what is the crisis part of the “student loan crisis”? The papers are going absolutely nuts on it, and I have a plan 2 loan, but just… am not that mad about it? And it seems like the people that are… make more money than me anyway?
