Every trans-supporting cis person in the UK needs to make peace with becoming more annoying, persistent, and pedantic than they ever thought possible. EHRC guidance is full of contradictions - they're relying on transphobic compliance out of fear. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM

When speaking more immediately, or in this precise moment, we should say 'tonow' instead of 'today'.

And then, when the internet went down, I thought I'd die. But when I didn't, I said, 'Is that all there is? Is that all there is to a life online?' Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friend, then let's keep dancing. Let's break out the booze and have a ball... If that's all there is.

After discovering a recent article about LLMs fabricating analyses from nonexistent data (arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687), I did an experiment with our new lab-sanctioned chatbot. Well, here’s the result (in case that’s not clear, I never actually uploaded any grades-intro-cs.xlsx file).

To the @greenparty.org.uk , can't tell you how much we need you guys to fight this Makerfield by-election. Fight it like it's a target seat. Show the country you guys are serious about replacing Labour. This is a key moment. Step out from the shadows and fight. #Greens #Makerfield #by-election

'oh reform might win the seat!' well then go yell at labour for triggering the byelection. you can't just tell every other party to stand aside for your fucking messiah candidate. i want labour to get wrecked, are you kidding me? i want burnham to lose. labour are the enemy of all decent ppl.

The gullibility of people will never not surprise me...

And then they'll turn to us and say, 'See what you've done now! You have to help us fix this now.'

What Refuk did to the Tories, the Greens can do to Labour. Make it so.

It still blows my mind that the British people have to give tens of thousands to millions of pounds to a monarch if they want to put a bridge across the people's waterways or a wind turbine on our seabed... And not a single thing is said about it.

If progressive voters want electoral system change then the way to make that happen is to FORCE the main parties, not ask them nicely. How many times do they have to prove they'll never do that? Labour are on the ropes, now's the time to plunge a knife in, take their seats, force them to enact PR.

The corporate take over of the state, public life, and essential services, (a key part of fascism), gathers pace. And not a word is said. We are so housebroken.

🌱 "We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." —Aldo Leopold

I appeal to the @greenparty.org.uk - do not be cowered into not standing in the by-election. In fact, not only stand, but fight it like it's a target seat. If Labour's golden boy can't win a safe seat then he can NOT win a GE. It's crucial Greens present themselves as the left option.

The way progressive voices are treated in MSM is a good example of the two ways the word 'respect' can be used. When we expect to be 'treated with respect', it can mean either 'respect me as a human and behave accordingly', or 'respect my authority, be grateful you even get to speak in my presence'.

Universal Law: If something smalls drops to the ground it will bounce to another dimension, into which you are never going to see or be able to access.

This is who we are.

The UK's so-called #labour party is actively and knowingly setting the ground work for an incoming fascist govt. From criminalising protest, demonising the vulnerable, enabling corporate control of essential services, including the latest ruse - AI, to undermining the public's right to a fair trial.

It's kinda a good thing Refuk are taking control of so many councils. I mean, they will absolutely do enormous harm, but hopefully this will expose them as the grifters they are before the GE, from which they could end up doing far greater harm.

I don't watch TV now, so it is incredibly jarring whenever I catch bits of it... Like some historian twat gushing over nobles, kings and courts. The endless centring of the very authoritarian establishment who stole the commons from us and fucked everything up. They suck all the air out of the room.

Imagine the press reaction if the Greens had taken £5m from a Thai billionaire...

All the people crying about oil price increases, even many who claim to 'care about climate change', are really revealing their hand.

So it looks like we're heading into a time when the liberals are going to ask us to start killing the nazis again... Fine, ok. Needs to be done. But this time, can we not let the liberals take back control of the reigns of power afterwards, constantly sending us into these death spirals each time?

An interesting development, but need to see what kind of secondary pollutants would come from a manufacturing processing which 'break the bamboo down to a molecular level'. Esp at scale. So often, environmental/material costs of production are ignored as 'externalities'. phys.org/news/2025-10...

Absolutely wild that the UK is now a place where excessive police violence is being defended by the entirety of the media and political classes. We're heading down a very dark path, and all so a settler colony in West Asia can carry on ethnic cleansing and committing genocide.

a 16 year old trans girl got brutally stabbed to death and the media and political response was to reintroduce section 28, implement conversion therapy on the nhs, and strip every trans person in the country of our civil rights while smearing us all as rapists.

When you drive everywhere - You are actively endangering our lives. You are actively polluting the planet. You are actively making cities noisy. You are actively limiting children's play. You are actively limiting species habitat. You are, inactively, shortening your life.

The reason we’re even discussing alcohol in parliament is because a working class woman who would have been sacked if she ever showed up to work drunk has entered the halls of power and has seen first hand that people who went to private school and run the country don’t face the same consequences.

The Chirodectes jellyfish, seen only twice, is a rare marvel of the ocean. This footage captures its stunning speed and unique markings. A gem for marine research.

The opposite of a follower isn't a leader. It's an independent thinker.

So many of the people who could make a real difference in a Left Alternative movement are drowning in the sunken-cost fallacy—their attachment to a fictitious Labour Party dragging them down like masonry to the riverbed. Far from aiding the cause, they shamefully embody the problem.

Priority of access to our town and city streets needs a complete inversion. Pedestrians/mobility devices must be given full access to use the entire public thoroughfare when and how they want, at all times. Followed by cyclists, followed by vehicle drivers. This graph needs to be made law.

You do not have the 'right' to travel at speed. Nor do you need to. We've just normalised it to a point we think it is madness to suggest otherwise. yet it's a relatively recent phenomenon. Oh, and it's destroying the planet's capacity to sustain life. So there's that.

Bring back the red flag holder

I am Indonesia. I have tanks, missiles, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and soldiers without brains, professionalism, and humanity. I eliminate Papuans. I plunder mountains and fuck up rainforests, I occupy towns & demolish homes, how dare they demand freedom. West Papua

Honestly, I could care less if Starmer stays or goes... The problem isn't him. He's just a symptom of the problem.

From the Book of Job: 'For he had oppressed, forsaken the poor, Violently taken a house he built not. So shall his belly never have quiet, To savour the things he once desired. Heaven reveal these iniquities great.'

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
