UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

He is wearing the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion. This is so dumb and goofy and I love it.

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

✈️ NEW ✈️ A large proportion of UK trans people are looking to emigrate within the next 10 years, with almost 40% of younger people considering a move abroad, according to a new YouGov poll: https://goodlaw.social/t2h8

I never really had an opinion about FN until now and thats because I really only ever played it with 1 or 2 friends. But if this is true I’m fine with never playing it again and uninstalling it from my Switch because screw supporting JK Rowling and screw the push this tainted franchise is getting.

Once again:

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

I hope these suits become commonplace and damages big enough to scare VCs. AI is not profitable and its being held together by VC funding. All the AI companies run at massive lose and once the VCs believe there is no profit, and there is no funding, they will implode under their own costs.

The Reform leader is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster. Here are the facts: https://goodlaw.social/ngjm

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

“The problem is that Ofcom is now allowing some TV and radio stations to flout the rules and on an issue like climate change the stakes could not be higher.” Ofcom is letting GB News off the hook for climate misinformation: https://bit.ly/4o6RGNI

I love living in a country where the law about what bathroom I can use is genuinely UNKNOWABLE, it’s like something from a Joseph Heller novel

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

As a trans woman, I love the way my allies treat Harry Potter casting announcements as if those actors died in a plane crash.

While nobody should be calling themselves an ally, the first step to being a good ally is the willingness to make their own life worse to avoid contributing to oppression Most self-proclaimed "trans allies" do not clear this bar

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

“The president is being fed a steady diet of AI generated propaganda videos from his team so they can direct his energies and signatures towards their own goals” is a real and true statement about America in 2025

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

fun how jk rowling going full scorched earth attack at emma watson was triggered not by watson attacking her, but by her giving some feeble wishy-washy statement about still loving her despite their disagreements

To anyone actively following Labour's treatment towards trans people this isn't new. What is new, is that is was said in plain english by a Labour MP, that is something that is important to mention. It makes its harder for people to deny what Labour are doing when they have said it now.

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

Honestly something that gets me through all of this is the Outer Wilds soundtrack. That there's music at the end of the universe.

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

The soundtrack for Divinity Original Sin 2 still goes unreasonably hard

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

STARMER: hey I'm appointing this close friend of the world's most notorious paedophile to be US ambassador :) BRITISH PRESS: ok :) [One year later] BRITISH PRESS: wait a minute

heartwarming: these lesbians support their goth wizard daughter

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

Even if we ignore the ethical failings of LLMs and GenAI, they are just are not profitable. They are held up by constant VC funding and its been very clear for some time they were going to fail.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

a study showing the efficacy of progesterone for breast growth has finally come out perhaps some people can stop falsely accusing the rest of us of spreading medical misinformation just because they downplay the value of anecdotal evidence in the absence of such studies

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

A reminder that the payment processors pushing this consider queer people adult content.

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes” This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part
