På den israeliska regeringens sida hängs svenska Palestinaaktivister ut med namn. ”Helt ärligt är jag stolt över att jag finns på listan”, säger aktivister Amanda Moore till Flamman.

Ju färre som använder X desto mer höger blir plattformen. Här är årets 20 i topp på X. Samtidigt är det nu bara 8% av svenskarna som använder X varje vecka. Antalet yngre vuxna användare har halverats på två år.

Hatet mot transpersoner blivit en av de viktigaste frågorna för den internationella extremhögern - en fråga där de att krokar arm med aktörer från mer accepterat politiskt hål. En liknande utveckling ser vi i Sverige.

Casey Muratori pretty much sums up how I feel about LLMs for coding: "The AI will always be useless for me. I physically can't get what I want from programming when AI is involved, because what it is doing is robbing me of the experience that I wanted to have and the knowledge that I wanted to get"

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely. Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

This dynamic keeps repeating. Respectable commentators want to have a philosophical debate about (e.g.) Britishness or the definition of "woman", because they don't want to spell out the unpleasant things they think should be done to certain people.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Today at the Forwards Festival in Bristol, the UK, actor Denise Gough, Green Party Deputy Leader Zack Polanski, and PSC Director Ben Jamal spoke about Palestine, expressing hope for justice and freedom.

In case you'd forgotten just how frothily insane Corbyn drove the UK press, ten years ago today the Daily Mail published one of the most unhinged articles ever written, this foaming-at-the-mouth imagining of what his time as PM would look like. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Gavin Newsom is a demon. Truly. Just a vile excuse for a human being,

This is utterly disgusting, and Newnham College should be ashamed. Until we all have equality, none of us have equality.

”Polis, polis, potatisgris” En man är nu - på riktigt - misstänkt för brott enligt nya lagen för att ha sagt det.

Learnt from the TF podcast that the UK government didn't apply the Online Safety Act rules to online gambling, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about how the country is run.

Starting this week with an impression I can't shake no matter how much I try to reason around it: Nothing — *nothing* — will improve in British politics without first enacting serious, sweeping reforms to the British press.

Good morning! It's the day we release the results from our pledges. Firstly, for leadership, we pitted the responses from @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social against @zackpolanski.bsky.social. You can view every response word-for-word @ lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Har ni kanske sett de numera permanent integrerade polisövervakningskamerorna i Stockholm? De sätts nu upp i alla städer. Sedan april får de också automatiskt läsa av registreringsskyltar och från januari använda AI-ansiktsigenkänning för att automatiskt identifiera och lokalisera personer.

Really enjoyed @heyitsmohit.bsky.social talk on the compose internals yesterday, it was fun and informative. Having it all be live coding worked out great too!

“From Moscow to Washington, Brussels to Budapest, money is doing the heavy lifting in reshaping laws, policies, and public norms around gender, sexuality, and reproductive rights” - and the UK has emerged as a leading funder. www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

Jimmie Åkesson har suttit tjugo år som partiledare för Sverigedemokraterna. Idag den 1 juli får han kröna sitt livsverk med en skattesänkning för de rikaste och dyrare mediciner för sjuka pensionärer. Grattis gubben!

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

First we outsource software dev organization to engineering managers, then taste and vision to product managers, then code writing to text bots, and it still does not make better software. There is no world where you get quality software without experienced engineers who care about their work

Efter bara några timmar har jag redan fått massa läsarmejl från folk som behövt kriga mot Försäkringskassan. Människor som själva lider av en allvarlig sjukdom eller som har en närstående som gör det, men ändå inte får sjukersättning. www.aftonbladet.se/a/5Eajl6

Känner igen mycket av problemen från min uppväxt i södra Norrland, redan för 20 år sen var föreningens livet på markant nedgång pga ekonomiska problem. Det är synd eftersom det är underbara landskap och natur, men utan ett samhälle byggt på gemenskap kan jag inte tänka mig att flytta tillbaka

Så jävla bra han är, @bruksdod.bsky.social Nåväl. Om Socialdemokratin hade varit något att ha hade de pratat om klass istället för etnicitet, återtagandet av det gemensamt ägda istället för visitationszoner. Pinsamt att kalla sig vänster och rösta på det partiet. www.flamman.se/glesbygdsbub...

None of those newspapers (or the BBC) that gleefully ran stories when the EHRC gave trans people a shoeing will now report on the EHRC admitting they (and hence those stories) were wrong. Are those outlets craven - or dishonest? Thank goodness for the legal press. www.law360.com/articles/235...

The BBC uncritically platforms Sex Matters, misrepresents the Supreme Court ruling, and excludes trans voices entirely. This isn’t journalism, it’s bias. We've filed a complaint. The BBC must do better. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

Försökte larma för 10 år sedan. Erfarenheter från andra länder visar att det är just så här det börjar när medborgarskapet går från att vara en juridisk rättighet till att laddas med moral, känslor och lojalitetskrav. Hatar att jag fick rätt!

We’ve issued an Information Sheet to all major UK press offices, urging them to stop using harmful and inaccurate terms like “biological male” when referring to trans people. tacc.org.uk/2025/06/02/i...

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights

Reminder: If you support Harry Potter in any way, you are directly funding legal attacks on trans people. There is no separating the art from the artist in this case.

Seeing my feed full of exciting news and interesting talks at #KotlinConf I'm feeling like I'm missing out.

That's really neat! Really lowers the barrier for someone to try compose. I'll have to try that out soon.

Gotta keep an eye on these trannies gotta put checks and balances on their existence can’t let their numbers run rampant

I feel like way, way, way too many people dismiss Dan Ticktum's abuse of his team - which is well documented and goes back years - as "he's a character." no he's not. he's a piece of work. if that's how you treat the people who work really really hard to put your car and race together you're wrong
