genuinely one of the most depressing things about working in a Uni is overhearing TAs explain to students how to use AI "properly" and seeing ChatGPT open on computers and laptops (that students have just left open and abandoned while they do something else)

@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social is bang on here, and it touches on a larger issue. Thread 👇

lol. lmao, even

If I ever hear the phrase "Streeting is Britain's first openly gay Prime Minister" I will throw myself in a volcano

everyone should stop focusing so much on the persona of jeffrey epstein, he just represents greater systemic issue that let this happen. lets talk about the male loneliness crisis

Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner kinda have t4t vibes I'm ngl

For years, S*n 'journalists' covered up the sexual abuse by a famous cis man while telling everybody to hate trans women in order to protect women. This isn't even the first time this has happened. How so many cis people don't see what's happening is revealing.

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

so Epstein used to hang out with Mark Rothko a lot.

they used to set secret service scalphunters on people for this

The Commonwealth Games going to fucking TNT is honestly kind of a scandal

This would go hard as an album cover ngl

Simply astonishing that a Labour MP would post this the same year Keir Starmer said immigration had caused "incalculable damage" to the UK and a Home Office Minister committed *this month* to identifying "any links between ethnicity, religion and culture – and child rape."

calling it now: 2026 is the year of the girlboss. girlboss resurgence.

Just, you know, treat people with respect. & one important aspect of that is giving them the security of knowing that their status isn't subject to the political winds of the day. It's cruel, self-defeating, and ultimately counterproductive to the supposed "growth agenda" to play politics with visas

“We can train existing UK citizens to do the job” Sure, but over how long and in what number? “We just need to pay people more” So what else are we currently doing that we don’t need to be doing? And/or, which taxes are we going to increase to fund it?

This is about American but honestly I think it's kinda true everywhere

I also vote to have cheaper electricity without having to do anything to make it cheaper

Full responsibility for this calamitous decision rests with Bridget Phillipson who was told by two committees of MPs that Mary-Ann Stephenson was out of her depth - and it was clear she was transphobic - but chose to appoint her anyway.

Sorry but I'm drawing the line at 'the 64-year-old man likes Blackpink'

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

My partner and I are watching the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George are trying to get their parents to move to Florida, and realising that Uncle Leo is the perfect Andrew Cuomo voter

The future I want is the one where people stop acting like this kind of writing is even remotely insightful

Now, will the newly appointed EHRC Chair Mary-Ann Stephenson apologise for funding her witch hunt against Stonewall?

i don't think bigoted cis ppl are against youth transition so much because they pass too well and they want us to be marked. rather they think being trans is a pathology, and a trans child should be "fixed" instead of getting the bone of transition they throw to us lost souls for whom it's too late

Spending another day at the penis factory manufacturing penises, the trolls demand I make them cheaper. "Never!" I exclaim "I will never surrender to the affordability agenda".

I know I harp on about this, but it is important than in a year we've gone from condemnation of racist rioters to: The Government arguing you have to cut immigration to prevent racist violence. The opposition pushing mass deportation to stop violence against women. Reform committing to end ILR.

All else aside, one of the defining outputs of Starmer's first year in power has been the normalisation of racism as a part of politics. The positions he decried as extreme are now adopted wholesale by his government. Yes, it is the right acting, but it is his failure to respond that enables it.

we don't have open borders. we do have what is probably the toughest and most expensive spouse visa on the planet. i hate every single one of these MPs, they're a shower of endless cowardly liars

How do we solve these mega waiting lists for the gender clinics??? Just dont do the gender clinics and just have GPs prescribe hormones and refer for surgeries Gender clinics exist to soothe scared cis people not to help trans people transition

I've been temporarily forced onto Google Pay until I get a new card and the infinite loop of VERIFY THAT IT'S YOU is removing like a good 60% of the alleged convenience of using this

If you read about the lengths the suffragettes went to, and then consider the five alarm freakout we see every time someone sends a mean tweet to an MP or draws with chalk on a statue, you do kinda start to feel like Westminster has just lost perspective

"When I hear that Ukraine is supposed to hold elections, I respond that Russia should also commit to holding free and fair elections, which they haven't had for 25 years. We need to shift the focus to where the real problem lies." - Kaja Kallas.

would you rather see Starmer do a standup bit that's mostly crowd work, or Rishi do a cooking show where they didn't quite get the release rights for the actual chef doing the cooking

In general, the following is simply fundamentally true: Europe's inability to take a stance on Israel that is 1% less complicit really discredited us, damaged our credibility (including among our own people), and spaffed away a lot of popular consent for (extremely necessary) continental rearmament.

Also pissed off at Steeting going off on "biological sex is immutable for screening and healthcare" in parliament, if ignoring that we very much should be treated according to our current anatomy and hormones, and that treating us as our birth assigned sex will cause serious healthcare failures.

on the latter point, I think the Westminster consensus doesn’t understand (a) how dishonest politicians have become and (b) how bad that is it’s not all as direct and consequential as e.g. partygate but it’s become the complete norm that politicians never give an honest account of their position

Not three months ago, Russia launched a pre-planned drone excursion into Polish airspace. And, incidentally, last week a number of drones attempted to intercept the flightpath of the Ukrainian President's plane as it came into land in Dublin. But sure.

The fact that we have not done a good job of arming Ukraine with the weapons it needs is explicitly a consequence of the weakness of European defence. Ifnl we actually had an arms race they wouldn't have any shortage of artillery ammunition.

Genuinely bemused to see a public figure who receives much worse criticism from much better known people on a daily basis spin out all Tuesday like this, but I'm not going to say no to a wee bit of publicity am I

I think it is possible that Russia might invade European countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, primarily because the Russian state keeps saying it wants to invadw European countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland

oh, you're a leftist? name everyone who has left you.

Slop fans want to expansively redefine all software to be AI and you don't have to take this seriously. These people are just dolts.

there a trillion magazines now called like ThoughtThink. Unsaid. CensoredMedia. The Believer. CrossingLines. The New Principles Of Thought Project. and every single one has written the same article a million times over that is just "i had to take a diversity training at work and it was annoying"

i literally cannot think of a better advertisement for @snp4ukraine.bsky.social than Owen Jones losing his nut at our official account
