Meanwhile on Facebook, Pages That Remember Things are remembering today’s D-Day anniversary through the medium of shoddy AI slop, in which the troops are getting back on the boats, because they all remembered they’d left the iron on. Further critique in the alt text.

Normandy’s behind you, lads

Excellent article describing the conflicts that the EHRC CoP, if approved, would bring to the UK’s relationship with Europe.

The phrase "two-tier" policing first entered Britain's political mainstream in August 2024, when people supporting the Southport rioters were complaining of their treatment But it is not a mainstream term - it originated with far right and conspiracist groups trying to push their own narratives

Behind every story like this seems to be the same thing: the public sector being cut beyond breaking point

Transphobic bigot finds out that there’s a difference between holding your views and expressing them.

OK now do Sharron Davies

This left a mark on my soul

The UK Government is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year. He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country. Oh and of course we're skint

Scientists made sourdough bread from a 5,000-year-old mummy's yeast infection

I’m in Salt Lake City this weekend for Utah Pride. Thousands of people gather together here because showing up and supporting each other is how we build a thriving community which nourishes queer and trans lives. Solidarity is crucial in a time of sustained political attacks against our communities.

China has the right idea about AI

A poem about time, efficiency, inhumanity, and the hope that the time has come for Scotland to build a healthier society | David Murray

"He said his actions were due to ADHD and severe anxiety, and brought a case against the BBC claiming unfair dismissal, as well as two disability discrimination claims under the Equality Act 2010." Neurodivergence doesn't make you a genitally-obsessed xenophobic bigot, Sean

The £3.5bn HMS Prince Of Wales has broken down again in Norway. Before 1987 every single ship in the British Navy was made by the Government. Since 1989 they have ALL been built by Private companies and like HS2, Nuclear, Water and Mail. They are all garbage.

And despite this, there are still more outright shits inside the White House.

The biggest crime you can commit for rich white dudes is not respecting them as class. Mocking Charlie Kirk is a bigger crime to them than SA, torture, pedophilia, etc.

Made posts including the accusation that the BBC had been captured by trans activists. As it anything could be further from the truth. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Stop REFORM by any means necessary.

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Your Israeli mates Albo Is this what you call right to self defence? An illegal occupation has no right to self defence on a land it's illegally occupying its basic international law. SANCTION ISRAEL NOW

Hey look - the Labour whips have produced a pro-forma letter for their MPs to use when refusing to sign the Early Day Motion against the Government's transphobic and misogynistic bathroom ban. Now they can pretend they have given some thought to the matter! My MP can't even be arsed to do that.

“Going forward, some have argued that the guidance cannot be made substantively better and that the only routes are new legislation or legal challenge.” That is certainly untrue.

Some wonderful news from Sandilands as avocets have been breeding for the first time since this former golf course was transformed into a new coastal wetland nature reserve. And avocet chicks have been spotted! 🎉

"Former Reform deputy leader: Harborne paid Farage AND Boris Johnson £1m each in a 2019 election deal. The £5m "gift" was payment for political services. Both deny it. Standards investigation ongoing." thedailybritain.co.uk/habib-allege...

Report on the criminalisation if the bodies of transgenderc people. And a petition to help ensure accurate data on this abuse of the law in the future. 🏳️‍⚧️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

When you read "biological women", substitute it with "carbon-based women", it's much funnier

“The women’s movement has fought for centuries to avoid being defined only by biology…” Dr Anna Cody (Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner) reminds us why many feminists oppose laws that define what it means to be a woman in crude binary or biological terms. Trans rights are feminist too.

Rebecca Archer’s infant daughter Renae contracted measles in 2013, before she was old enough to be vaccinated. The baby recovered and all seemed well until ten years later, when tragically Renae developed SSPE and died. SSPE is a rare, long-term consequence of measles.

Ice can not be reformed it must be destroyed.

"Allegations of bullying, strenuously denied by the presenter, were not upheld by the investigation. However, the Times and Deadline...suggested Derbyshire may have been warned about her behaviour." www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Arriving back to harbour, life:

I was one of the first media figures to point out that policing trans people out of sports meant doing genital inspections on children and i got labeled a "crazy extremist trans activist" for doing so.

Herb’s older brother, my grandfather, is 102 and served our country in WWII as well (although he didn’t see combat). I know, because he’s told me, how furious he is about this admin’s rhetoric against refugees and immigrants. He remembers well the bigotry his own immigrant-origin family faced.

It takes a special kind of idiot to lecture other countries about how to win ideological wars when you’re squatting in the gulf with your pants around your ankles

Humans have a short memory—like NONE. Europe still bears the scars of Hitler’s war against humanity—entire cities leveled, iconic history decimated, MILLIONS brutally exterminated and yet, right wing rhetoric still has a voice?

One of my favourites, it always makes me weep. I’m blind with tears, Staring into the dark. Cheero! I wish they’d killed you in a decent show.

His assertion that it is not his place to question legal judgements is the one part of this that's unimpressive. What does he think his job even is? Otherwise, it's an exceptionally astute display of sincere allyship. What a shame he's in Labour.

"The evidence shows the earth is round but there is a genuine debate about whether it is flat" There isn't. There is reality and then there are malicious lies and fantasies. "Two tier policing" falls into the latter

How you can you write the first sentence here without realising that it completely nullifies the second?

New post just out: "Race to the bottom" Falling immigration is pushing the right to further extremes as they try to keep the issue in the spotlight. I look at how they're doing it and argue it's a strategy that will ultimately fail. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/r...

Hang on, are you the same guy who was going through bins to try and smear Polanski?
