"You all should've been nicer to my trans homies."

I just did an intentional typo to see if he bites 😎

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Celtic fans have launched a petition demanding the club stop the signing of a player being sold by an Israeli football club with links to the genocide in Gaza

Renee Nicole Good. May her memory be a blessing.

I reiterate.

Unfit to govern.

There are multiple yellow and amber weather warnings over the coming days for strong winds, heavy rain, snow and ice ⚠️ Stay up to date here 👉 bit.ly/WxWarning Here is a summary 👇

The Met Office has issued a fresh yellow warning of snow and ice across the majority of Scotland 🚨

Man pays, or at least puts together a payment of, $44billion to buy an app so he can degrade it to this level, and folk will still argue that taxing billionaires into non-existence is a bad idea.

Britain in particular could stop helping America to fly a million tons of crowd-splattering weaponry into Israel every week via our RAF base on Cyprus, but that might be awkward, because acknowledging that’s what’s been happening being so deeply incriminating.

i don’t speak Portuguese but i understood every word of this one

Today is International Day to End Conversion Therapy (aka #IDECT). Conversion practices are ineffective, unscientific and cause actual harm. Governments since 2017 have promised to bring forward a ban - but we’re still waiting. Keep the pressure on. Get all LGBTQ conversion practices banned in 2026.

Thank you to Bruce Meldrum for allowing us to share these incredible images of a humpback whale breaching in the Firth of Forth! Winter is a great time to spot visiting cetaceans (particularly humpbacks) around Scotland's shores❄️🐋

The transphobes, who love X, wanting to inspect the genitals of kids sits a little different now, eh?

Mon the high temps of it only feels like -2° ⛱️

Day eight million of well-meaning Americans insisting that a piece of dusty vellum and the ghosts of some racists will magic America out of fascism.

Lewis was a founder, 12-13 years ago, of the peculiarly British "cosplay feminist" version of trans-hostile activism. It's sadly now embedded in UK institutions and politics across the spectrum, and aims to eliminate trans people from society. 😟 So, I'm 100% sure this is why Lewis loves Newsom.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot

Apart from these clips from @democracynow.org and @dropsitenews.com not seeing any mention that Cilia Flores, President Maduro's wife, appeared in court with noticeable injuries to her face and head. Her lawyer said she had a possible rib fracture. Odd it's not mentioned. tinyurl.com/Democracy-No...

There's some chat suggesting that US airbases in the UK could be used by Trump if he decides to attack/invade Greenland. Could someone pinch me to make sure I am actually awake, not dreaming this timeline.

We have learned that Sex Matters - the anti trans group whose activities you are obliged to fund through your taxes - is being investigated by the Charity Commission. goodlaw.social/j4r1

Speaking of US domination, have you heard about Amazon's Project Starfish? Amazon are using AI bots to crawl the web and scrape product data from independent sellers and makers. The products then appear on the Amazon site (currently the US one but the plan is to go worldwide).

What's got two thumbs and is appearing at the Kirkcudbright Book Festival in March? It's me! I'm looking forward to this. kbtbookfestival.org

The US is literally a threat to us all, so of course our dipshit Labour government are embedding us even further into the fascist empire. Reform are already in government, the rest is just personalities.

I've done a wee tour of the commentary class, and it's amazing to me that even the ones who are talking in terms of the US no longer being an ally, some calling him a threat (agree), I haven't seen anyone mentioning the US military presence here. Our media class, all of them, are ridiculous.

Winning this one is still up for grabs, Keir, I'll give you a week.

Get their fucking military out of our collective countries now. There's a bunch of christofascist migrants "planting churches" who might need sending back too. The US is not an ally, isn't defending us, and is quite clearly a danger to everyone.

The Danish PM, like the rest of us, knows the UK hosts the 3rd largest deployment of US troops outside the US. The same military that just willingly engaged in the Venezuela land grab and terrorism. The Danish PM witnessed Starmer's limp response to that, so might want to stand elsewhere.

80 civilians were killed in this war crime and you mention them exactly zero times.

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

I like this because the scientist didn't use computers at all.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

You’d think the protect-women columnists and their fans would be demanding action/prosecution over the creation and publication of image-based sexual abuse of women and girls that’s happening on an industrial scale on X. And yet.

if you think trans women are men then you're too ignorant to have an opinion on anything related to the topic.

See also UK Labour.

Why isn't Zarah Sultana posting her attacks on the Scottish Greens here, but posting them on every other platform?

It should be criminal for a Prime Minister to tell lies like this. Starmerites will shout about how not supporting Labour will enable Farage, as if they aren't already doing a Farage.

Any Blaborites still stanning for this guy can post themselves dick-first through a wood chipper. Or unfollow.

Bet I could get more than 5000 signatures on a petition banning all claims to Christian authority without a licence that required a stringent test on what Jesus actually bloody said about stuff, beyond bigotry-affirming cherry picking.

Those weren't crime incidents.

The Tories would make up the difference, tho. At this point I wouldn't put it past Labour to try the same.

Do you feel safe in Starmer's UK?

Your bio. You aren't working for those things at all.

Do not come into my mentions arguing against Scottish independence when this is what you elected. Utterly pathetic. Your relationship is nothing, Starmer, look at what he's done to Ukraine. Disingenuous scum.

Keir Starmer hasn't condemned Netanyahu's illegal actions, and he calls Trump a friend with shared values despite the fact Trump is a rapist and is a convicted felon. This idea Starmer would condemn him now is just fantasy. Starmer is part of the problem. He probably knew in advance of the coup.

Thinking about the way our journalist class goes all-out to destroy any politician with an ounce of gumption and a moral compass like good little agents of billionairism, and the way that is playing out right now.
