Does kind of look like infighting doesn't it?

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Old man learns how to play cards.

The Labour Party has made an absolutely conscious decision not just to climb into bed with the extreme right against trans people, but to accept that this means humiliating themselves by confessing they were wrong to ever think trans people deserved equal rights. Utter moral decay.

The number of people who seem to think the Greens should field a candidate in Clacton is depressing. Handing a win to Farage like that when it's currently him vs a bin would be absurd.

I bet he thought this was a masterstroke. He thought he'd be dragging the other parties like Labour and the Tories into a months long debate on terms he controls. Instead the other parties have turned the trap on him. By refusing to play it's him vs a bin, and that's all the coverage is going to be

Nigel Farage has lined his own pockets and is using this by-election to escape scrutiny. The people of Clacton deserve better.

It would be truly glorious if @countbinface.bsky.social actually won. And I genuinely believe he'd be a better MP.

"A virgin on screen" is so damned icky. Whoever this is should have their hard drive checked.

OK, so I posted quickly saying the there was no way Nigel would win his by election. But I did forget what Clacton is actually like It's not impossible that he wins it again. The big questions really are if the election is held before or after, and the result of, the investigation into his finances

A red herring, thrown out as a defense against questioning. A means of distracting his followers, while simultaneously giving him an excuse to avoid questioning.

The dangerous rhetoric and misinformation being broadcast about trans people has gone on for too long. The media regulator is failing to do its job, so we are taking them to court to force real accountability. Join us! 👇 goodlaw.social/0r9k

Perfect. No notes.

Trump doesn't know what loyalty is. He thinks it's "You do what I say, when I say it" and that's the end of the definition.

This is very funny.

Excellent. We should do the same.

The irony and lack of self awareness would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

This position is either incredibly stupid, or deliberately disingenuous.

This should be shoved in Musk's face every hour of every day until he's in jail.

It’s LITERALLY the job of the culture secretary to regulate X and she’s basically giving up and buggering off? What an absolute waste of space Lisa Nandy is?

African, can confirm: every moment of your life has been spent during an atrocity somewhere, perpetuated or exacerbated by a larger number of countries and corporations than many care to admit.

Not particularly shocking. Incredibly disappointing, but not shocking.

The abject horror of realising that the Gisèle Pelicot case might be the tip of an iceberg. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong" Spot on!

Stephenson says she doesn't understand how the guidance is unworkable. The guidance requires organisations to have a rule saying that I can only use sex separated facilities that don't match my appearance. They are then required to use my appearance to check I'm following the rules.

Instagram has been running paid adverts promoting child sexual abuse material in India. The ads use terms including "rape video" and "child video" and link users to channels to Telegram, where the material costs 99 rupees (about $1). Ads can only published after being approved by its moderation.

Left: Lisa Nandy complains about a lack of regulation on social media Right: Lisa Nandy quitting Twitter because of a lack of regulation on social media Lisa Nandy has been paid an extra £135,010 ministerial salary for the past two years to not do her job of regulating social media and run away

Labour’s vindictive treatment of trans people has cost them a lot more than just the trans vote. Bullying trans people costs votes. The rest of the LGBTQIA+ community knows the rest of the poem. If Northern Starmer carries on like Southern Starmer he will lose bigtime.

hi hello modern slavery expert here 👋👋 requiring asylum and refugee seekers to pay back support is precisely how traffickers keep victims in debt bondage. this exposes people to even greater re-trafficking risks. is the uk government trying to stop trafficking or learn from criminals?

Very interesting timing, but it still took a ridiculously long time for this decision to be made

I don't have high hopes for Burnham, but I genuinely don't believe he is going to be as bad as these two were.

Based on Stephenson's appalling quote, I've followed the evidence for identifying the sex of people by their face. The original study [Bruce et al 1993] asked participants to separate laser scans of (Caucasian) faces. "Laser profiles of females gave rise to high [38.9%] error rates." 1/

Someone should unironically email this to the EHRC as a correction to Stephenson, tbh.

Given trans people are less than 1% of the population, getting it wrong 4% of the time means you are 4x as likely to misgender a cis woman than spot someone is trans. This is without accounting for the effects of hormones, surgery etc. Absolute madness from the EHRC chair. A "human rights" body.

The fact that someone like this can hold such a position demonstrates how broken it all is.

Head of the EHRC really did just say Phrenology will help solve the issue of transgenders in society

the collapse of trans rights in the uk has been spearheaded by wes streeting, a gay man

Fuckin hell. That's wild. There's no way that should be legal.

How tf is this protecting girls in sports? This is state mandated abuse.

Well, that's the end of the Burnham premiership then. Just more of the same Reform pleasing bullshit.

This has to be one of the most horrendous announcements in years. And it came from a Labour minister, Shameful.

This is the sort of drivel you get when all your communication happens through X.

The lack of self awareness is incredible.

Excellent way to put it
