[CN. Transphobia] This is sort of the whole business in a nutshell too, because the basis of the tribunal wasn't that Upton had assaulted anyone or acted in any way inappropriately, but that a trans woman simply using women's facilities was a violation of the provision of "single sex spaces".

Bottom line is that they personally find trans people (and trans women in particular) icky for their own neurotic reasons, and they'll justify that post hoc with whatever convoluted reasoning they can fit into their current worldview.

Kaiju (but make it haiku) a fiery sigh Tokyo isn't going to step on itself, is it?

incredible. she swore at them "after being accused at an on-stage event of copying the policies of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK." so, accurately describing her plans? abolish the home office and especially shabana mahmood

The *entire Starmer project* needs to be understood as one big Jobs For The Boys operation. That’s why McSweeney - Labour’s squillionaire bungs officer - spent 2017-19 running around telling dejected MPs to hold tight, because he was going to hook them back up with their clout, status and freebies.

Jonathan Keir Harker Starmer 🤝 Not having enough questions about their good friend, the Prince of Darkness

As a fan of keir starmer it pains me to say that I think its time he steps down and allow the Labour Party to pick another nonce/nonce adjacent leader to continue managing the nation into decline.

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Being an Alpine herdsman is low-key GOATed

I would look at the astonishingly long list of MPs and officials who suicide bombed their own careers to tank their party and put these swine back in the top jobs, and were rewarded for it with peerages and other non-jobs for life or e.g. ambassadorships, and start putting two and two together.

T is OK for cis women but not trans men. Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids. You see it, right? You see what this is?

ANCIENT GREEK PRO WRESTLING PROMOTER: ok so you're going to be what's known as a "heel" ACHILLES: fuck you

It makes the 2010s look like paradise

try imagining government policy toward higher education as if it were any other industry. "Government plans aviation export cuts of 30%" "Government bans foreign licensing of football broadcast" it would be insane and yet

I asked my kid if I was using 6 7 correctly and he said no because it’s automatically wrong if you’re old

This is absolutely to be expected, if you know who is important and who is not. Wealthy American Christians are the demographic who keep money and arms flowing to Israel no matter what it does.

Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.

The decision to repeatedly deploy 250+ cops armed with PAVA spray, tasers, batons, horses, and dogs to force through a group of 30-40 fascists against hundreds of counterprotestors has to be understood not just as the cops "protecting" the fash but actively behaving as their enforcers.

I hiked out to a sinkhole that hosts hundreds of alligators and stumbled across a rather surreal surprise: a grand gathering of #Birds.

Hi I can’t stop laughing

POV: you're a bee enjoying the bluebells 🐝 Providing a pop of spring colour, these beautiful blooms are also a fantastic source of early-season pollen and nectar for pollinators emerging from hibernation. What a sight after the winter months!

What good would it have done if the civil servants hadn't "hidden" the vetting failure? Would the outcome differ? Phillipson appointed Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC chair *despite* not one but two select committes warning her not to! This government installs all the wrong people because it wants to.

I haven't had a long enough breath to talk about how AI is ruining the open web. API after API I used to use is closing - literally because paying the $$$ required to feed these impersonation machines is prohibitive.

Guess Who? (2026)

This one seems to have caused panic, and it’s pretty bleak that a picture of a guy smashing a statue of a dude who died two thousand years ago is more internationally disastrous than hundreds of hours of video of civilians being bombed, burned, machine gunned, sniped, evicted and starved.

Nobody Absolutely nobody Roadrunner:

If London South Bank is doing this from financial distress then it should have notified OfS that there’s a serious danger of bankruptcy so students can be protected. If it’s not, then this is simple asset-sweating cartoon capitalist evil and their leaders need to be sacked. Like mine.

I particularly struggle to believe that, because I don’t remember anyone breathing a word about McSweeney being Mandelson’s protege until the Americans released those emails, at which point it immediately turned out everyone had always known it and had just neglected to mention it on air.

Also, why did everyone line up to repeat everything they were told by Morgan McSweeney, given all of them appear to have understood he was Peter’s boy, with mysterious access to Peter’s millionaire friends and Peter’s media contacts, and they could see he was running very Peter-style hate campaigns?
