So you learn about a service that is badged as user centred, but doesn't have any UCD professionals working on it. Wdyd? A) ignore, enjoy the quiet life B) send an email to all the most directly related managers, alerting them to the risks C) quantum leap into another life Answers below. #ucd

"Rowling has fashioned herself into a very powerful enemy of transness. Her intellectual properties, particularly the ones under her control that she directly profits from, are thus, in a very literal sense, tools of the enemy" defector.com/its-tim... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ

Pure propaganda for the BBC to be claiming it's not possible to know how many people attended, or to treat the police's fake estimate with any seriousness. The fact that they didn't have any clear presence reporting on the crowd tells you a lot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Getting ready! #antifascism

“Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women’s events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday which aligns with US President Donald Trump’s executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.” Shameful. Sex policing is harmful to all women.

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

Leadership is being Bartleby the Scrivner on behalf of dozens of people.

Deadline to get everyone's kids out. Unless you like encouraging your children to exclude minorities. Then it's the club for you! BBC News - Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

I hadn't! But that's excellent news. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

*breathing into a paper bag*

I just got a pay award of £500 for contributing a new technical solution for managing recruitment. I once won £500 in an essay prize for writing the first historical account of the DNA synthesis marketplace. I finally have a way to convert my academic worth to civil servant worth, and vice versa!

Trying the Louis Theroux Manosphere documentary. So far it seems about 15 years behind every other analysis.

Had to go to the IMAX to see The Bride because Cinema City isn't showing it. If I could guarantee this kind of audience I'd come every time.

Very glad not to be a teen these days. If my parents had tried to have a sit-down with me about the dangers of falling in love with a chat bot, I'd still be in prison.

Honest question I keep getting asked is why aren't more people in the west outraged and stopping this and the honest answer is they either don't know how bad it truly is or they do and want the imperial bloodshed

Real privilege to speak at the launch of Trans Actual recent report. Absolute solidarity with the trans community and everyone working so hard for a better future for trans and non binary people. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ t.co/FkDFb5CSpR

After a few experiences, I am becoming more firmly of the view that being a GDS assessor is a terrible use of my time. Nobody has a clear idea about how it's really meant to work, everyone in the team being assessed gets the hump. It's all well and good having a professional assessment method. But..

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It's so telling that these people are rushing to condemn "the campus left" at this moment www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/o...

Still not a peep on the things Mamdani can do for trans youth after hospital closures. No activation of H+H to take patients. Trans patients are a rounding error for the $10B program. No movement on human rights complaints. No promise to restore care. Rarely have I been so disappointed.

Who the fudge is reading Kuenssberg these days? Truly moronic stuff. When people say standards in public news broadcasting have slipped, her's is the big face that comes flashing before my eyes.

Don't Worry Darling.

Something remarkable happened. Some people read my academic work and took something from it! AND then they told me! A sequence of events unheard of in this day and age. I wish this for you all. #postpostdoc

Managed 1.5 episodes of Under Salt Marsh before quitting. Total waste of Kelly Reilly (who plays a very annoying and stupid person that we are somehow meant to find inspiring) and Rafe Spall, who carried it as well as he could, but couldn't get the show to reach escape velocity from mediocre.

Norman Osborn is a vastly more moral and intelligent tech bro than Elon Musk.

Sometimes it would be nice to decide how stakeholders get to hold their stake. And whether they even need to use their hands to do so.

Btw, my gorgeous cover star is a gynandromorph gypsy moth, female on its left side, male on the right. It was caught in Berlin in July 1864 and pictured by German entomologist Ernst Ludwig Taschenberg in 1877. It makes more than one appearance in my book! #booksky #histsci #sts #queerhistory 🦋🌈📚🗃️

I love having more reasons to call Aranofsky a dumb and incompetent film maker.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Good news - keep fighting, everyone!

@majorityreport.bsky.social fix Sam's camera! It rarely focusses properly!

A baffling piece, this, the entire premise of which is flatly contradicted by the trenchant observation from the EHRC at the end.

Just saw Garth Merenghi's latest live show. Excellent! I'd love to see a one off interview of Merenghi by Alan Partridge.

Tried using co-pilot to make some power-automate flows. It was OK at coming up with ideas at first, but as they failed, it eventually began to give up, until the final message "you're right, that isn't something you can do from a shared inbox at the moment". Only 40 mins of wasted effort, but still!

Just saw someone reading a book in a pub in the next Fable game. I feel seen! Don't think I've ever seen an NPC doing that before.

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I am of the view that it is important to view and share this evidence of what I take to be a brutal murder.

If initial reports are true, they shot someone who they'd wrestled to the ground. Potentially an observer. These agents must be arrested and brought to justice.
