Glad I caught #OnlyAnExcuse tribute show on the #BBCScotland channel tonight.

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 02,1947

For viewers in Scotland, definitely stick yer heid oot the door to assess weather. Turn histrionics sound to mute.

Which kinda proves your supporters are Nazis

And I’m sick of allies and even trans people accepting GC terms of discussion on this. If their point is founded on trans women being men, it’s for the birds. It’s gone outside of reality. It’s horse shit. When they talk disingenuously about single sex spaces, they’re relying on you playing along.

I’m not a man. I’m a woman. If you exclude me, you’re not excluding a man, you’re excluding a woman. Something else I am is really fucking sick of trans people being talked about as if transition isn’t real. These arse holes rely on ignorance and complete denial of reality.

An anti-trans crazy is asserting her right to break the law as long as she's harrassing an innocent trans woman - and the site formerly known as Twitter agrees. The latest anti-trans nonsense from @alyssaur.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

And in the UK, the now head of the EHRC had to be asked three times before Parliament Select Committees, before she said that taking pictures of trans people in toilets was wrong.

#Kojak "The only way out" from May 1974 still stands head high for its production values in period. #TellySavalas et al were a class act. Much missed "who loves ya?" #ITV4

Given our current condition, where are our current equivalents of 70s political paranoia cinema like 'The Conversation', 'The Parallax View', 'Three Days of the Condor', etc.? Hell, even 90s light-hearted takes like 'Sneakers'.

If you read nothing else this new year, let it be this piece. A former New York Times editor laid out how they're anti trans coverage was directed from the top by AG Sulzberger, Joe Kahn, and Carolyn Ryan. This was a purposeful effort to target trans people. transnews.network/p/a-directiv...

I’ve seen people pointing out that viewing this image on your phone would be a criminal offence in several jurisdictions: Add England and Wales to that list. By downloading the image from Twitter you’re both “making” and “possessing” under the Protection of Children Act 1978.

What an incoherent bunch of complaints: “I suggest these women leave the WI and find a mixed-sex organisation to join instead" “What is to stop every one of your own WI members saying, ‘Well, I’m not going to rejoin the WI? … We won’t be able to afford to pay the rent on the hall" incoming next:

"A blogger at a site called Hisenseox described Mr #DannySiplin as “a cherished family member, a friend, and a presence that brought meaning and joy into the lives of those around him.”"

Pushed myself out to have a walk in park. Well wrapped with gloves and rewarded by beautiful sunshine lighting everything wonderfully, a small flock of #CanadaGeese having a long lie in a broad dip the next field capturing what warmth is to be had sheltered from unwanted chilling light breeze. 1/2

It was every horse's birthday yesterday! All horses have their birthday on January 1st no matter which month they are actually born. Happy Birthday to these select four dressage horses, sure, why not. 🎂Glamourdale (15) 🎂Cassidy (23) 🎂Flambeau (16) 🎂Zonik Plus (10)

This illustrates how Labour really screwed up after it was elected. Instead of doing Continuity Tory it needed to undo the damage the Johnson/Truss/Sunak regime had wrought. Instead it continued their transphobic policies, the two-child benefit cap, austerity & failed to implement Leveson 2.

Good on dear #TressaBurke CEO of #GlasgowDisabilityAlliance Refused #MBE from a fascistic #Labour raging against disabled people making their way in life to the with some benefits smoothing the bumps. Cuts ensue & they picked the wrong wummin to pay off! Bravo 💐🙏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Report anyone wearing one at work with a copy of that as “indicating a desire and intention to harass Trans people at work unlawfully”. If they’re not sanctioned then it’s a hostile work environment.

"The O2 ABC was partly demolished earlier in 2025 after becoming an eyesore due to the amount of damage" "A dangerous buildings notice was issued by the council in July last year and parts of the ABC, including its facade, have been knocked down" [Note the facade put up the fight of its long life.]

Pal says #Reform are leafleting in Balloch Vale Dumbarton for the Scottish May elections. "As you may know, Reform plans to take over #Scotland this year!" I guess they're doing standup at #Edinburgh Festival #Fringe in August. Killing two lots of marketing in one leaflet.

As @entirelyharmless.bsky.social has pointed out Mary-Anne Stephenson in her interview with Libby Brooks perpetuates a simple lie about the hideous Supreme Court decision: that it regulates single sex spaces. We can know it's a lie because Lord Hodge, who presided over that decision, has said so.

Any comment on the Young Republicans Nazi group chat?

We need to start the new year with clarity. Wanting to “end/abolish” “trans ideology is advocating genocide.

In this New Year’s Day video, I explain why the neoliberal myth of “free markets” is not just wrong, but actively destructive — and why rebuilding the state, rethinking capital and restoring democratic accountability must define our economic direction for 2026. youtu.be/vAkkZXfxb9Y?...

Happy New Year from everyone at Good Law Project! We’re going to be fighting for justice and hope against hatred and authoritarianism this year. What do you want to see in 2026?

Happy New Year to one and all. May this deepening social and governmental darkness pass, our spirits soar once more. 🙏 Open our hearts and as ever; may we respect and love our neighbours now more than we ever have. 💖 #BairnsNotBombs Aye, you too! 💐

Happy New Year from Scotland, Comrades, Anti-fascists, allies and activists for a better world. We have work to do in 2026!

That is indeed what they did.

If you claim to be an LGBTQIA ally, stop using Twitter. #StopFundingHate

Overstatement of harms to justify for cruelty. In 2019 Harry Potter superfan The Potter Collector stood outside the house in plain view that in Nov 2021 the author claimed three activist actors positioned themselves to display. That video is still up the gigantic address panel impossible to miss.

A malignant narcissist is incapable of withstanding ridicule, so please share this as widely as possible. Thanking you all in advance, Mar🐫 🙏 shorturl.at/mcfqd

Happy New Year when it comes. Mind and take your meter readings if you do that for your energy supplier. New Rate kick in at 00:01 💐🎉

In the 15 minutes before midnight NHK takes us on a tour of Japanese religious sites from the spectacular Kyomizu in Kyoto to the crowded Asakusa jinja in Central Tokyo and a shrine in Iwate that was almost destroyed by the 2011 tsunami. It includes a ceremony led by a Ukrainian woman.

A #typhoid epidemic in the #UK & #USA would get 2026 off to a great start compared to last year. 🤞🤞

Hogmanay messages done, Ne’erday steak pie secured 🥧 hame, dramatic sigh deployed. The Steamie lined up, a wee refreshment in hand, time tae see the year oot in comfort.

I don’t often respond to trolls these days, but when I do it tends to look like this. And then they delete their comments.

2025 has been an extraordinary year for my channel. 30 million views. And a growing appetite for something better than the economics and politics we are offered today. In this video, I set out how this channel and the Funding the Future blog will evolve in 2026, youtu.be/KirSSr3M1g0?...

This is a good, balanced piece on Alaa Abd el-Fattah, I think: highly critical of successive governments but concluding that, once granted, citizenship is citizenship. "I don’t want to live in a country where naturalised or joint citizens are treated as 2nd-class Britons, forever on probation."

George & Amal #Clooney, granted #French citizenship. Confirmed on Sat. Moved to #France to provide a quieter life for their children, significant factor being France's stringent #Privacy Laws, offering stronger protection against most unauthorised photography of kids. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/w...
