I use “ending trans healthcare” at NYU Langone, Mt. Sinai and Northwestern hospitals and avoid “ending trans healthcare for youth” bc ✅ healthcare for trans youth is necessary healthcare, full stop ✅ “youth” can include up to 19-26, who are adults ✅ ending “youth” care is a gate to end AL care

One of the most pleasing images from the result last night; Matt Goodwin, standing there like a sad pepperami.

In utterly DELIGHTFUL news, Adwait Paliwal, the desi techbro behind the cheatbot Einstein AI which claimed it could log into Canvas and do/turn in your assignments for you has been forced to take down his website. He'll likely be back, and there are others like him in abundance, sadly.

I’m supposed to be afraid of an imagined “Lebanon-on-Thames”? Afraid of fattoush and moutabbal? Afraid of Mashrou’ Leila and electro-țarab? Afraid of hot Lebanese me—oh waiiit I see what these gammons are worried about.

it’s, no joke, the Labour Party’s birthday today

okay, here it is, the five key takeaways from this by-election: 1. Denton Kebab House 2. The Crispy Cod, Denton 3. Reddish Tandoori, Gorton 4. Cottage Chippy, Gorton 5. The Continental Takeaway, Denton

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

It's interesting to see so many people speculating about what Muslims collectively think about the Greens' stance on trans people's rights and whether that could be a problem for their strategy while the Tories fielded a gender crit and absolutely ate shit.

My brief history of the opposition to Trump 2 is catching more eyes than normal for me. What I learned briefly blogging at WIRED.com 20+ YEARS AGO is still true. 90% of the game is the title and featured image.

Gorton & Denton wouldn’t have even been in play if Starmer hadn’t blocked the city’s popular mayor Andy Burnham from standing in the election. This massive embarrassment for Labour is down to Starmer’s paranoid drive to eliminate competition

So, SNL invited one of the men’s Olympic hockey players to share the screen with the #heatedRivalry star but nobody from the women’s team? After all that?

Would y'all like a timeline cleanse? Yes? Good. Here's Loaf being the huntress she was on the streets, to some sheets, with nothing underneath.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

It can never be forgotten that once he’d lied his way into the leadership job, Sir Keir Starmer told everyone to the left of David Cameron to basically fuck off. All the get a pat on the head from people like Harry Cole and Stephen Pollard. That looks more and more insane the more time passes

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

If you live in the Gorton and Denton constituency and spoke to a Reform party member on your doorstep or in the streets then I'd like to speak to you for an article. My DMs are open.

It did so much to get us excited about science. There were interactive displays, live demonstrations, and activities for truly all ages.

I spent my childhood visiting the Ontario Science Centre at least 1-2 per year. The thought that we might lose that location & architecture due to Rob Ford’s negligence and self-dealing makes me want to [REDACTED].

Corrections Officers and ICE goons have started patrolling the Dilley, Texas ICE Concentration Camp, confiscating children’s drawings, letters, and arts and crafts materials to prevent further leaks of the abhorrent conditions in the camp (February 17, 2026).

In May 2019, a reporter from the far-right Canadian sewer Rebel News / The Rebel tried to interview people on the streets of Manchester about Stephen Yaxley-Lennon / Tommy Robinson who was standing as an MEP, and encountered the (NSFW but very honest) Queen of the North.

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

The leaders of ICE, Customs and Border Protection and and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will appear for their second oversight hearing this week and as lawmakers tussle over their funding. n.pr/4rS2Vvb
