Hopefully when it's his turn to go it's from a botched colonoscopy.

Learning manners was much different in the 1950s. Take this children’s book I was given. It really does provide you with advice on manners for all occasions – even when someone pulls a gun on you. 🧵1/4.

This is what led to the arrest of Ryan Bridge from Raise the Colours A queen of a local passer-by decided to get under their cherry-picker van (while it was parked) so he called the police He & his rabble of flag wankers were served with notice by Oxford CC on Monday against putting flags up...

🧵/ The NHS is about to undergo one of the most radical – and scandalous - changes in its history. From 1st April (the public are the fools in this), GPs will be contractually obliged to seek remote “advice & guidance” from hospital clinicians, making it even harder to see an NHS specialist.

It’s 82 years since the guilty verdict was given on the last person to be imprisoned for witchcraft in Britain. No, not 382; 82. Helen Duncan was a Scottish medium who toured the country producing ectoplasm and telling people she could speak to their dead relatives. You know: the usual bollocks 🧵

It's Trans Day of Visibility, but a shout out to the invisible trans people - the ones who haven't realised, the ones who haven't shared it, and, sadly, the ones for whom it's just too dangerous to be yourself in public. I might not see you, but I know you're out there.

Threatening the drinking water and electricity of 93 million people because the IRGC whose control of Iran you accidentally made unshakeable won't agree to a protection racket deal with your son-in-law.

Child rapist wants you to think he cares about kids.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

Here is the British Journal of Sports Medicine's consensus statement after the World Athletics announcement: a "harmful anachronism" bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/7...

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Watching Man United women v Man City. 10s of thousands in the ground. Both are managed by cis men. There have been no headlines. No complaints. A trans woman manages Sutton Utd, a side most have never heard of and who play in front of fewer than 100, and that's taking opportunity from cis women

Fake quotes, factual errors and ChatGPT links – my bizarre journey into Matt Goodwin’s new book... Andy Twelves reports for the Nerve www.thenerve.news/p/matt-goodw...

Any Edinburgh folk interested in seeing Callum Easter in Leith for a sneaky afternoon sesh tomorrow from 2PM? I've got a ticket for this but I'm now otherwise engaged. Free to a disreputable home. www.bandsintown.com/e/108075731?...

What is Matt Goodwin going to tell his boss Nigel Farage? That his children, who speak fluent German, must unlearn it? Goodwin might have been too stupid to learn another language, but should others suffer? www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

You would all be going mental about this if it was a Muslim school. It’s a Christian school and I suspect the Daily Mail isn’t going to scream about how they’re destroying British Values.

"What will happen when a passing woman enters the men's bathroom" Same as what will happen if a passing man enters the lady's room - they'll get assaulted. It's designed as a lose/lose. This isn't hard.

The book banning school in Manchester has now been named, the Lowry Academy. Some of the books have been returned to the shelves but not all. Glad to hear CILIP are supporting the librarian ://www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/greater-manchester-school-library-censorship-who-is-accountable/

Rowling was still tweeting yesterday falsely accusing Lin Yu-Ting of being male. She continues to do so with Imane Khelif. So much for protecting women.

Terfs don't care about women's safety. They're handmaidens of fascism and seek to harm us all.

List of all the countries in the world that ban all Afghan women from studying in their sovereign Higher Education institutions: 1. Afghanistan 2. United Kingdom Must make you proud to wave your flags, UK patriots with legitimate concerns. Wave them!!!

The UK 🤝 The Taliban

Afghan women have now been banned from applying to study in British universities by the Labour government www.gov.uk/government/s...

Greater Manchester Police has found "no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting" in the Gorton and Denton by-election, after Reform made a complaint over alleged "family voting" The investigation looked at potential offences under the Representation of the People Act

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

"It's your round"

A statement on the IOC's decision to reintroduce mandatory sex testing for women. Please share widely. Alt text follows in the following posts.

fuck absolutely everyone involved in this decision

Nigel Farage’s visit to Ipswich Town this week has sparked a major backlash. Fans have accused the club of allowing itself to be used for political purposes, but there is also internal dissent at the club’s handling of the affair. @dansheldon.bsky.social on a chaotic 72 hours.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

Puberty blockers killed no-one and the UK rushed through emergency legislation because of the 'danger'. Yet, somehow, neither the AI nor the misogyny here constitutes an 'emergency'

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

The Metropolitan Police has released the call transcript of Morgan McSweeney's report of his phone being snatched in October It shows he gave his name and said it was a "government phone", but said the wrong location and gave no details of his role in No10 or the sensitive information on the device

Witnessing an incredible case of Landlord Brain: mine is taking me to court to remove me (I have already given notice but they want to teach me a lesson) and in doing so have entered into court records that they don’t keep safety certs current (fines) and the house was unlicensed (huge fines).

Today is the 156th anniversary of the day when Lord Glencairn would inherit his title and fortune. Unfortunately for his creditors, he wasn’t Lord Glencairn. Or Lord Gordon-Gordon, Lord Gordon Gordon, or The Hon. Mr. Herbert Hamilton, as he also sometimes claimed 🧵

She did rather more than talk to them. #IYKYK

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Development on this since I wrote it last year. I got AIthor’d. Scammers scammed my book about scams by making an AI-generated version of it written by imaginary fraud expert, Dan Myshkin (sick name though guys credit where it’s due) and publishing it on Amazon. Right under mine in searches.

At 23 I went out with a horrible man. The first time he physically hurt me, he threw me against a cupboard and throttled me. It was in front of a room of people and nobody helped. He threatened me with hammers, threw me across glass tables, pulled me about by the hair, burned me with cigarettes

Mahmood's ridiculous ban on student visas, and some work visas, from Afghanistan, Sudan, Myanmar and Cameroon, is not only massively counterproductive, it also makes a mockery of Labour's claim to be opening "safe routes" via study and work visas. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

since everyone's sharing/dunking on the latest Helen Lewis Atlantic piece, I am contractually obligated to re-up the time Helen Lewis debated AI hallucinations of my work (I contacted @theatlantic.com about it but they never provided a correction): juliaserano.medium.com/why-do-helen...

At least I get to repost the greatest headline the Independent has ever run.
