A Bellingcat investigation uncovered the work of a wildlife trafficker in Myanmar, advertising everything from tiger bones, rhino horns, to leopard gallbladders, openly on social media platforms. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/06...

it's rare to find journalism that isn't coopted by assimilationist goals. TNN has shown themselves consistently willing to do the kind of serious journalism trans people desperately need right now. please support them!

The transphobic hate on TalkTV is dangerous, misinformed, and completely breaches the broadcasting code. But Ofcom has done nothing. So we’re taking Ofcom to court to force them to do their job. Back the legal challenge here: https://goodlaw.social/0r9k

Good, but you’re ‘hailing’ it ‘on X’ ffs.

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

What are the Government, police and security services doing about the people who are quite clearly in the pay of a hostile foreign state, and using their platforms to whip up actual pogroms on our streets? This is a major national security issue and absolutely nothing seems to be happening about it

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

"What we can say with a great deal of certainty is that NHS England is currently relying on terrible evidence to make decisions about trans healthcare."

The premise of scaling to X's size being a net good I find extremely dubious. Build a website that's communal, hospitable, and safe. Our experience here will not be enriched by adding 500 million more users. X is a cesspool.

I always loved those Les Edwards Call of Cthulhu 4th edition colour plates.

"If a company builds a machine that...emits sentences either of the form 'Compromise your values' or 'Don’t compromise your values,' it is not building a tool that assists people in their decision making; it is encouraging people to stop making decisions." www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

With the updated EHRC code of practice, the Government is still leaving trans people with a real fear of being excluded from essential services and public spaces. My statement in full: greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

This, from Amnesty International, tells you all you need to know about transphobic bias in UK mainstream media.

Euston, we have a problem.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

Chaosium may have a problem: Glorantha became the very thing that its critics warned us about. How did that happen? And what does that mean for my RuneQuest games? A lengthy essay about playing in Glorantha ludovic.chabant.com/blog/2026/05...

NASA just dropped 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. Too many to add to ArtemisTimeline.com, so I just put up a tool at ArtemisTimeline.com/vote so that people can vote on small batches allowing for all of the images to be sorted! (yes, I posted this before, but I had to fix something!)

‘I’m fighting two wars. One against the Russians. And one inside myself.’ Ukraine is reshaping warfare through its use of drones. Yet human operators remain at the controls. For @ftweekend.com, I profiled one Ukrainian FPV drone pilot to examine the personal costs. www.ft.com/content/95f5...

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

Got in trouble with my Experimental Xenobiology teacher because my homework ate my dog 😞

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.

A rather unusual series of events over the past 48 hours has exposed the extent of the CIA’s involvement in counternarcotics operations in Mexico. A brief timeline to catch you up: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month. Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it. www.gov.uk/government/c...

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

COMMENTARY: As the world anxiously watches the Strait of Hormuz, another maritime drama is taking place right here in Europe. The traffic jam in the Gulf of Finland is a clear snapshot of the deteriorating state of today’s world order.

"everyone you know is fighting a battle you know nothing about" isn't a reminder to be kind it's acknowledging a failure of military intelligence

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different? here is a timeline of JK Rowling's transphobia: web.archive.org/web/20241225... & here is where her HP money is going: www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Bloody hell. From secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as ‘think tanks’ (who continue to dominate our discourse despite Liz Truss demonstrating the dangers) to a secretly-funded political party. Should have seen that coming.
