Your aim for heat safety should be keeping your dog *not panting*. If they’re panting, they’re heat stressed. If they’re panting at home try to think of ways to cool them, and absolutely don’t even *think* about taking them out. If they start to pant during exercise, stop.

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

what if the real Brexit was all the prime ministers who resigned along the way?

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

[TW: homophobia, transphobia] The latest embarrassment from Warwickshire’s Reform councillors. This disgusting bigotry and regressive mentality has no place in a modern society. Utterly shameful and sickening. www.facebook.com/share/p/18qm...

Is it not worrying, if “hybrid warfare against Britain by hostile foreign powers, intended to cause violent unrest and societal meltdown”; “a shocking scoop by your super soaraway Sun” and an editorial in the Times of London are essentially indistinguishable, apparently with the same aims

I've signed this petition calling for a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on LGTBQ+ people 👇 Launched by the Section 28 Justice Coalition, the aim is to ensure that LGBTQ+ censorship never happens again 🏳️‍🌈 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

The idea that every human is a life deserving of fundamental rights, dignity & care—irrespective of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, or ability—*is* the common ground. It is the ground of the universal. People opposed to this aren't interested in common ground.

A lot of the “kids online safety” proponents actually are anti-LGBTQ extremists and fundamentalists who want kids to have less freedom and don’t care if that actually makes them tremendously less safe too

This is a devastating read. The fact that there's a narrative circulating, primarily by people with no connection to the reality of young lives, that we're living through a pandemic of laziness makes it unbearable. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

“The truth is that the global far right have spent the past few years using a billionaire-owned social media platform to deliberately whip up racist violence on Britain’s streets and now they are finally starting to succeed.” @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/06/10/t...

I'm led to believe that the Prime Minister has actually issued a statement about last night's pogroms. But in order to read it you have to have an account on the combination far right propaganda/child abuse image website run by the US billionaire who has called for a fascist coup in Britain.

The EHRC Code of Practice risks entering an unacceptable era for LGBTQ+ rights and encourage gender policing. MPs can still oppose it. Ask your MP to support EDM 240: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

I don't know how Keir Starmer can wake up in the morning, see that pogroms have been taking place under his watch, that they are being fuelled by literal illegal activity on social media, and not make it his entire purpose to stop it. We know you're no politician, but are you not a lawyer?

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’s an increasingly scary question as to whether certain Labour MPs are merely ill-advisedly pandering for votes, or if they’ve become so mired in a toxic social media information ecosystem that they’ve actually fallen prey to far-right radicalisation.

We need leaders who can spell out what's happening clearly and with force.

Not that we need more evidence of genocidal intent to recognise what we are seeing. But deliberately shooting children? That's about as clear as it gets. #Gaza www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...

Turns out, the campaign of hatred against a tiny marginalized group was just a wedge issue to erode the rights of women in general? If only [checks notes] everyone paying attention had been warning precisely this.

I think every politician who proposes to ban anything on the internet for teens should be required to propose, as an alternate, a free and accessible and all weather space for teens to hang out in their own hometown

Like clockwork

A reminder that the Luddites were against the negative effect new technology would have on people's lives. They were not against the technology itself. The reason you think they were is false propaganda spread by mill owners to discredit them, propaganda that persists to this day.

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

Damn, it sounds like Britain could really use some kind of antiracist movement right now. In fact, it sort of sounds like they were correct all along about what all of this was. Just as well we welcomed them with open arms and asked them to expound upon their beliefs, isn’t it.

terfs in... 2020: a bathroom bill is extremist. we just have 'reasonable concerns' about self-id 2023: a bathroom bill is extremist. we just have 'reasonable concerns' about sports 2025: there won't be 'genital cops' 🙄 @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social's bathroom bill 2026: we need genital cops!

I tend to be cynical of Early Day Motions as having little impact. Not to bore people with complexities of Parliamentary proceess and secondary legislation, but this motion can. If you stand with trans and non-binary individuals please contact your MP to support 1/ edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

I guess that makes it seven years on from one of my favourite ever tweets too

this is a direct result of the police being allowed, and encouraged, to treat suspects like shit. now an innocent man is dead.

Ultimately, if we concede ground to these people - any ground - we will lose because nothing is ever enough. They cannot seek compromise because they don’t really care about the underlying social realities. They cannot be debated into defeat. They have to be shamed into it. They have to be shunned.

We keep talking about them like they are some spontaneous upswelling of popular discontent rather than well-funded groups whose aims are to weaponise discontent in all its forms to disrupt the orderly workings of the state and cannibalise civil society so that they can strip the carcass.

It is not an accident that the political representatives of this movement are largely grifters, hypocrites, chancers, failures, and charlatans. It is precisely because these people have no core beliefs outside of their own advancement that they are so willing to tear the social fabric along the way.

What does Farage expect people to do with this "pure cold rage"? We all know. But will this incitement be held to account? Oh no. He'll be on every mainstream news channel repeating it, all day.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

New album from VILT is well worth a listen 🔥 For fans of old-school Arch Enemy, old-school In Flames, reminds me a bit of Children of Bodom in places. Swedish thrash/melodic death. #MetalSky open.qobuz.com/album/rkm51f...

New single from Monovoid is another banger 👌 #MetalSky youtu.be/Cj4NYuX_pm8?...
