pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

this behaviour is unbecoming

The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.

It’s so funny to be like “this is when women were WOMEN”

Could have highlighted how he removed cartoons from the walls of places they locked up kids because they made it too welcoming but no, Labour are attacking Jenrick for letting in too many migrants

So: happy... er, yes, well, happy this most holy of days to all who celebrate

Nah, I think just some retraining will fix this

Anyway, it is important for him to share the Home Sec's tweets. Look at the discussion!

Kemi, this is just a population density map

a decade is a long time in politics

“Around six months after the cyber incident I talked to the then chair of the science select committee, who was not aware of this incident” w o w

essentially repeating @jamesdaustin.bsky.social's point that people say they want a nice high street and yet aren't using their high street, in order to add: people need to also actively choose to spend more in brick and mortar shops than they would online, even if it feels unfair!

I haven't actually been keeping up with her posting recently because I marginally respect myself, I didn't realise she still did this shit

the entire administration is making content for twitter nazis and they are convinced that those twitter nazis are genuinely representative of the vast majority of american sentiment they believe all the election conspiracies and think the country is 80-20 in their favor

This is why the Government's strategy is doomed. The British public's view of immigration is completely disconnected from reality, and copying the last government by pursuing increasingly vicious crackdowns on legal migration is delivering the same outcome. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Checking in on the Washington Post editorial board’s take on the new RFK-approved food pyramid, and I really cannot believe how lazy these people are www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

The Vagina Museum is a proudly trans inclusive organisation 🏳️‍⚧️ We won't be silenced with our commitment to telling the entire story about anatomy, reproductive justice and bodily autonomy! Trans people have always existed and will always exist.

Hours ago:

We don't need this

Of course, in the UK "regulators" are never really regulators. Their raison d'etre is political: to dress political goals in regulatory clothing, to act as reputational buffer zones, to gaslight outsiders like you and I into thinking regulation exists. But never, god forbid, to regulate.

have a column on this in the next issue of the New World - between stuff like below and people turning up to eg non-existent fireworks or Christmas markets, I wonder if AI companies won't regret releasing their products too soon: people can be lazy and/or forgiving but they don't like feeling dumb!

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

This is billionaire-controlled media. They want to sleepwalk us into another forever war. We must break free.

The consequences for lying us into Iraq were not only “nothing” but outright rehabilitation of Bush as a “compassionate conservative” who was part of a noble dying breed so why should anyone waste the time justifying this one

Can we not interrupt me recovering from a good night out to start an illegal war please?

one thing i've noted a few times is reactionary centrists have never, ever, ever understood the criticism of them to the point that when they hear someone say what they find objectionable about them, they literally have no idea what they're talking about

After my last video, a lot of you asked to see the full BBC email. So here it is. I’m z #journalism #transparency #bbc

We have so much good evidence for cash transfers but so many just refuse to accept that those in poverty can make good decisions.

is this truly your master race? does he think the leg extensions will become genetic?

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

Could this have anything to do with the two major parties and all the media hyping far-right narratives and "dining across the divide" increasingly unashamedly in the past couple of years? No, it must be those grassroots "legitimate grievances" I keep hearing about...

Ira Levin was a fucking prophet

Been There, Dune That

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

I already agree with this in principle - citizenship is an untouchable status or it is nothing - but also for reasons of prudence. “The Home Sec can revoke citizenship when he/she deems someone’s online output sufficiently offensive” is a v dangerous precedent to set with Reform leading all polls.

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

sex symbol, married four times with numerous affairs, retired before 40, convicted for racial hatred was there ever a more French person??

Huge news from Blakeney Point...

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other
