A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

This outcome was created in the moment that Gordon Brown got caught saying someone had bigoted views, the media went nuts, and Labour didn’t have the courage to stand by that position.

"If the UK accepted imports from the US of such products, our food supply would be significantly less safe." Important message for #FoodSafety and #PublicHealth www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Going after Parkrun – a non-competitive event which has no changing rooms – perfectly illustrates that it's never been about fairness in sport, women's safety or anything else. It's about bullying and demonising trans people, hounding them out of public life in every space possible. It's disgusting.

Anti-rights movements won't stop with trans people. The Alliance Defending Freedom campaign against abortion rights, gay marriage, and anti-discrimination laws. Now they are openly backing a case against Parkrun for including trans participants. www.independent.co.uk/sport/great-...

My workshops for self-funders on Specification By Example in May are filling up nicely, but so far entirely with devs. Product managers, testers, UX designers and other non-programming software folks are very welcome. I'm hoping for cross-discipline groups. I even made a spiffy ad and everything.

A researcher says she made up a disease with two posts on Medium, which led to Copilot telling users it was "intriguing and relatively rare." Posting two preprint papers about it online led to ChatGPT diagnosing people with it. 🧪 skepchick.org/2026/04/chat...

If you don't want GitHub Copilot trained on your code, you've been automatically opted in. You have until April 24th to opt out.

This has got to be some kind of defamation or something. You can’t just steal people’s IP and then pretend they’re saying something they never said.

“Instead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,” Wired reported last week, Expert Review “lists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.”🤬

So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Today's ruling on the EHRC's interim guidance is a disappointing, confusing and mixed picture. A trans woman who is a customer in a café can use the women's toilets, but if she works there she might not be able to. Once again everyday life is being made a legal labyrinth for trans people.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services. Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you. Please do keep sharing! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Online leftists miss the point when they treat trans, women’s, BIPOC, and disabled struggles as secondary to the “workers’ revolution.” Dismantling racial supremacy and patriarchy is the revolution. If you overthrow capitalism without uprooting those foundations, it just comes back with a new names.

In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my family’s experience - was very different. www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

Robert Peston, "Are you firmly in favour of rejoining the European Union?" Zack Polanski, "Firmly very much in favour" "Brexit has been a disaster under any criteria, under any measure" "Whether its economically, socially, culturally"

Why was Jeffrey Epstein obsessed with genes? @juliametraux.bsky.social said it best: "Evil men like Epstein are, in the simplest form, obsessed with eugenics because they believe that their ill-gotten gains are the product of some innate superiority."

You can’t choose to act like anti-immigration rhetoric has legitimacy for 2 decades, even creating policy based on it’s lies, then wash your hands of the result

And meanwhile my PhD advisor, who continued to have a relationship with Epstein through all of this, told me he couldn’t do anything about the racism and I should stop trying to get the guy who did it to me in trouble

Thinking about the time I was at a quantum gravity meeting and the man across from me was talking to me and a man next to him turned and said in all seriousness “don’t talk to her, she’s difficult” and it was because I had reacted ”badly” to racism. Meanwhile their heroes were hanging with Epstein.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

Okay, you guys wanted some fun tea on Richard Dawkins? Here you go: one reason he may have gotten super duper angry about me talking about misogyny in atheism skepchick.org/2026/02/epst...

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

I was sued about six weeks later.

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

I would say this findings shows women are more AI literate than men, because the majority of non-magical beings have no innate ability to "judge truthfulness"

"There is no line Trump will not cross. There is only self-interest." This is what I keep saying--it's no use trying to 'understand' him. There's no there, there. Other people are simply not real to him. Anyway, another great Q&A with @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

Did you see this? They know what they’re doing when the problem is now “Hysteria”. 💀 bsky.app/profile/tani...

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Mirror-imaging. They could never imagine putting themselves on the line for another person or their community (remember JD Vance's theory of love, that it extends only to your family and no one else?) and they know any "resistance" on their end would be purely transactional - so they assume the same

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

The best action the UK can take right now is to rejoin the EU. It should be done for so many reasons, but right now, solidarity is the biggest statement that needs to be made

“Stop stealing and start creating” is a real thing an “AI artist” said

None of this is “good faith political debate,” and it’s not a coincidence that all these outlets are suddenly interested in the same “discussion” at the same time. Treating women’s humanity like a thought exercise makes it that much easier to legislate away

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

I’m laid up with the flu, but I had to peek my head out and say that this is *so* much worse than it seems. And it’s already pretty fucking bad! bsky.app/profile/gbbr...
