BBC policy of presenter scripts saying “biological males who identify as women” as an addendum to every mention of “trans women” really is sickening

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

When your local council shuts all your libraries next year and the parks fall into disrepair, it will be because they have a legal duty to house homeless people in a city with a gigantic housing crisis, where all the worst accommodation is being rented back to councils by slum landlords.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Encouraging the policing of public spaces based on appearance and gender stereotypes is no way for a human rights regulator to behave. The EHRC’s proposed Code of Practice is a misogynist’s charter, and the government must reject it. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Of course he's not alone, but, Justin Webb is perhaps one of the most open and influential anti-Trans ideologues at the BBC His broadcast record repeatedly normalises anti-Trans rhetoric, viewpoints, and guests, while he rarely provides comparable space for Trans+ voices or perspectives

Some of us remember when Maitlis said that primary age school kids are having gender confirmation surgery. The BBC anti Trans bias goes back nearly a decade #BBCTransphobia

She seems to fly under the radar as a truly disgusting person so share this clip

Yes, they will. #WorldBollardAssociation

Wrong. You can't be a 'legend' and 'engaged in rank racism and sexism' at the same time. It's so frustrating. This misconception is still alive and kicking in today's science circles. Those labelled as 'geniuses' should not be forgiven their awfulness to others. www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/j...

i got 80%. bleak as shit, this, and a really good tool to illustrate the point

It's Halloween

academia be like

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term www.gov.uk/government/p...

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

The ChatGPT subreddit is absolutely hilarious. LLMs just output statistically likely responses, and a statistically likely response to being asked to do some work is "I'll have that done by...". So apparently in some cases ChatGPT had just been telling users it'll get back to them later. 1/2

Sure, turkey bacon manufacturer website, you can store files on my device. But only what's strictly necessary, ok?

I love living in a country where the law about what bathroom I can use is genuinely UNKNOWABLE, it’s like something from a Joseph Heller novel

I for one did not see this coming

This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen in my life

this will kill people.

Yes.

Very informative presentation by Kate Nambiar - common presentations in trans men accessing sexual health services #IUSTI

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

My heartbreak and horror at the killing and starvation of Gazans does not negate my total support and solidarity with my fellow jewish citizens across the UK against terror. The conflation on display by some politicians and media outlets over the last 24 hours is sickening.

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

He should have been expelled. This is way more than policing opinions. - Inciting violence at far right rallies - Interfering in government affairs - Destroying health and science infrastructures - Ensuring thousands will die Abusers, excused and enabled by craven others, always grow in power.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

I had the worst lunch. Honestly. Maybe @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social could cover the rise in the far right, in racist attacks and, you know, the effect on millions of British people instead of platforming them every night I'd settle for @theguardian.com doing even basic coverage of racism in the UK

Today along with @sianberry.bsky.social I've published a report on our constituents' appalling experiences of the leasehold system. From extortionate fees to poor treatment at the hands of management companies, residents are being held to ransom in their own homes. Govt must act fast.

OM*G*. This is the single best homeopathy zinger I've ever seen. Hall of fame stuff!

mandatory training questions are all either "should your computer be a) 33.4cm from a heat source b) 33.5cm from a heat source c) 33.6cm from a heat source" or "if you see a fire, should you a) report the fire and get out safely b) take a video and post it on tiktok c) run into the fire"

These idiots have no idea how important universities are to the modern British economy and the towns and cities in which they are based. On average, a British university returns £14 for every £1 of public investment. So yes, let's slaughter these golden geese and scorch our economy.

I don't have strong faith in petitions, but nearly 2 million signatories is pretty impressive. Worth a quick pop to give some politicians a fright.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

As Henry points out,a long piece about free speech in the UK that doesn’t mention the many, many people arrested for supporting Palestine Action and is entirely framed in right-wing talking points is a dereliction of journalism.

“The guidance also provides further clarity for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) networks specifically. Including the need to promote all view points equally” Which view points? Oh you know, *those* ones www.gov.uk/government/n...

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this
