Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

If the PM reckons Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for spreading this exact same lie, should the Home Office apologise too, or? 🤨

Jim Ratcliffe's firms have received £70m handouts from the govt in the last 4 years and received ANOTHER £50m last month.

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth. goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

Palestine Action are found not guilty for the offence that our government claimed as grounds for proscribing them.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Digital necromancy should be treated as akin to defiling a corpse and defaming the character of a dead person, by the law and by society.

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Me opening JIRA: there better not be any goddamn jiras in here

It doesn’t have to be an either/or thing.

I just want to remind people that when we talk about creating a "British ICE" and a concentration camp as somehow copying America, we already had the previous Tory government set up a concentration camp run by British military personnel for asylum seekers rapidly shut down after legal battles.

It’s not about being smug, or right, or a hipster. For me as someone who’s been badly burned it’s a deep mistrust. It’s the “why now?” of it all. Like, people who suddenly realised Trump is a fascist yesterday - why now? Why weren’t the million other things your tipping point?

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

I remember getting lost at a horse show aged 5. I wandered off when my mum was in the in the warm-up arena then I couldn't find the woman who owned the horse mum was riding. Eventually someone asked if I was alright and just took me back to the warm-up. Fine. This kid will remember this forever.

Just after backing the US violations of the UN charter over Venezuela, and following over 2 years military support to Israel during its genocide, "the Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s enduring support for the UN and the international rules-based system".

Ever noticed the right think they’re Goldilocks of being toxically masculine? The think Muslims are too misogynistic and queerphobic and “Wokies” aren’t misogynistic and queerphobic enough. That they’re the ones who got the formula just right.

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

I can't help but feel I experienced the world in microcosm on the way to the shop today. I saw a queue of cars stuck trying to enter a single lane tunnel. I thought the roadworks on the other side must have caught everyone out with the different traffic lights. Then I got closer. 1/9

Amongst everything else, I'm thinking about how eager the UK press were initially to swallow the Met's lie that Jean Charles de Menezes was a terrorist after they executed him in a tube station

'Revenge porn' is a misnomer we've all been using. Pornography requires consent. 'Revenge porn' is sexual abuse. Sending unsolicited nudes, is sexual abuse. Someone flashing their junk at you, is a crime.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Sesame Street is better than Harry Potter.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Kiera Knightly was in the pub when I was out with my friends for birthday drinks about 6 years ago. I clocked her and then ignored her and enjoyed my evening with my pals.

It’s a page of nonsense to print off and colour in to keep a child busy while you cook or for you to have some calm crayons time. Merry Christmas!

Yes, this was always the plan; all the po-faced politicians finger-wagging you about the two-state solution fully understood it was bullshit, and that the actual goal was “get rid of the Palestinians by any means necessary”.

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:
