No loving parent needs the state to force their child to come out. Alberta's legislation doesn't protect families; it rewards abusive ones. Using the notwithstanding clause to override the rights of trans kids makes the intent clear. #CDNpoli #ABpoli

Last radiotherapy treatment today! Goodbye, hated chin strap. #oncosky

The technology was forged in a delusional space where copyright isn’t an issue. No business before has been allowed to do something like that. Except maybe colonialism. “What if we revalued humans and resources at a purchase cost of £0? Would that get us a big pay day?” And we made that illegal.

You hear transportation engineers (especially for state DOTs) say stuff like, "People want to drive. We're not in the business of social engineering." Honey, your profession has socially engineered our society since the 1950s. It's time to invest more fairly across transportation modes

My fighting-age son is coming from a foreign country to visit us on Wednesday!

A record number of children hospitalized for flu in Aberdeen and Streeting blames hardworking NHS staff? Preventative care has been cut to the bone.

Wow, this is racist.

Haha, I am old and have cancer and won't be a net positive tax payer.

I don't understand pollarding because I am from a tree deficit geography, not a tree surplus geography.

your AI algorithm (or worse, the underpaid and horribly treated remote worker in India somewhere you are forcing to pretend to be your AI algorithm) doesn't know my dead mom. *I* know my dead mom. *I* know what she'd say to me. learning to give *yourself* that guidance is what wisdom looks like

Yo, do we have this in the UK?

I wish you could get this in Scotland*! *it's possible this can be found in the central belt sans français but that doesn’t help me

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom. Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?” Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. It’s not a hard concept. I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

While focus is often solely on asylum, and small boat crossings in particular, it's important to remember that Labour's hostililty against all migrants is harming not only individuals, but the whole country, with an estimated loss of £10.8billion, and zero actual benefits. www.ft.com/content/2b60...

This is factual reporting.

This is exactly the impression I get from the Labour government. I couldn't have said it better.

SUTR SCOTLAND ANALYSIS PIECE: Falkirk unites against the far-right, Inverness humiliates the fascists Anti-racists and anti-fascists across Scotland scored two crucial victories today.

I love the way 'public' transit ticketing in the UK is so obfuscatory and complicated you need a maths degree to find the cheapest fare option. The point of a system is what it does.

"Those we don't want here". Completely aside from who the "we" is (Labour? Voters who might cast a ballot your way if you pander to them?) this is a shameful attitude to apply to an institution partly set up with money gained from colonised nations & the labour of migrants. Migrancy is in its bones

The fact ideologically driven adults are able to participate remotely in a child's journey with their identity is disgusting. Empowering random adults to question their gender while they are developing is the opposite of emotional safety and care

Your reminder that political spending isn't regulated or recorded outside an election year So public will probably have no idea how the biggest donation in British political history is spent Why we urgently need political finance reform - sign petition here you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

🚨NEW POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 All Evri executives to have their Christmas presents delivered by Evri, to see how they like it. Love Christmas. Vote Binface.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

So the Home Office, which is responsible for the welfare of asylum seekers & for determining their claims, has decided to call them “illegal migrants” & tell everyone it’s “furious” about them being here, but I’m sure this is fine and not a symptom of a culture of disbelief & gratuitous cruelty

90% of deep fake images online are non-consensual pornographic images of women and girls. And yet, these images are not yet illegal in Canada.

Weird how if you’re trans and 17 and seeking gender care you’re a “child,” but if you’re assaulted by a 57-year-old man you’re an “activist”

Ah yes. Irregular Migration makes up 4% of UK inward migration, about 44k last year. There’s not enough of them to “tear the country apart”. That’ll be the RW and the Fash and their Labour enablers like Shamood.

Rachel Shabi: "UNICEF have issued this report, 280 Palestinian deaths & 672 injuries since the pause began. That is not a ceasefire, if that many people are being killed there is no way you can describe that as a ceasefire. Israel is continuing unimpeded to violate the ceasefire"

This was a great seminar and I highly recommend it. I think anyone could learn from it.

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

Settlement being “near automatic” is a huge surprise to me, a person who only recently settled permanently and had to provide evidence of travel and residency over the past decade and paid £4000 for the privilege of just being considered for it. 🤔

+ this one scientist.

What’s next, AI discovers a correlation between skin color and income? AI has discovered a hiring bias, not causative relationship.

“Automobile industry analysts say that manufacturers are attracted to high profit margins from SUVs: they can make more money from SUVs even tho they make fewer vehicles.” "If ranked among countries, the global fleet of SUVs would be the world's 5th largest emitter of CO2…” We all pay the costs.

the authors of catastrophic carnage have names: Asia Pacific LNG, BP, Beach Energy, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, Hancock Prospecting, Inpex, Jera, Santos, Senex, Shell, Tamboran, TotalEnergies, Woodside etc—we need to end their ability to operate

actual feminists stood with the lady-ghouls of Fox News in their lawsuit because even evil women don't deserve to be sexually harassed in their evil workplaces and all women are harmed when we let that shit slide, but boy that experience sure didn't change any of them as people, did it

I attended a meeting yesterday and it reminded me that every single organizer needs to get training on how to facilitate meetings. Truly. You lose more people through terrible meeting facilitation than I can express.

It is really getting harder and harder to glibly dismiss the data centre driven growth of demand in the US, which is causing coal growth domestically and impacting the entire planet's emissions Yes you can present it with a huge denominator to make it look small but that doesn't change the dynamics

Hey Canada! Don't make bad bets #cdnpoli #ClimateChange www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Like look at this. This isn’t about genuinely representing nation’s great struggle or a dream or victory. It’s about making something that looks like it would be about a great cultural struggle or dream or victory. It’s “this thing looks like this other thing”

About time!
