I've been having some trouble with my website for a week or so BUT it looks like it's fixed now, in case you'd like one of these or some lovely zines 💗 penfightdistro.com

This is horrifying. It classes disabled people as not fully human, because it is saying that they cannot ‘feel’ the same way as an able bodied person would in the same circumstances. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

Remember: The media had absolutely no role to play in the rise of Farage, Robinson and far-right politics over the past two decades, and it’s not just incorrect to say this; it’s cruel, unfair, divisive and, frankly, potentially endangering to six-figure salary columnists and pundits.

If you suggest police officers shouldn’t kick people in the head, you’ll get the chief of the Met condemning you on national television. If you say the police are institutionally racist against whites and suggest people should riot, you’ll get invited onto a BBC couch to expand upon your theories.

WTF is this bullshit, @dorsetgreens.bsky.social ? Pitting folks against each other is it? AND using genAI. GTF!

Yes! It’s the real-world *causes* of these feelings of anxiety that are the problem because these feelings of anxiety accurately assess the facts: the real, material, concrete, everyday *danger*. Not the imagined fantasies of paranoiacs that have a newspaper column

You know who else feels anxious? Trans and queer people living in this environment! Honestly!

Racists 'feel anxious' and have 'sleepless nights'! So do antisemites! Do you think violent misogynists, queer-bashers and anti-trans weirdos with a chip on their shoulder don't feel 'anxious'? I don't give a damn. We should not change society one iota to make them feel comfortable!

"Surprisingly, Dewa et al. actively recommend a trial of Oxevision that replaces in person checks – which even the manufacturers state the technology should not be used for [8]. We suggest this conclusion is both unsupported by the data and potentially harmful."

hope you brought urine!

So it’s been all but confirmed that my housing association is selling so will have to move. Speaking to the resettlement officer next week. There is virtually no social housing in this city. I don’t know what I’m going to do

Tmi If you want to know where my mental state is at, as I suffer through another bowel flare up, I've taken to saying to myself 'well at least I'm not afflicted with whatever this is in the medieval times!!!!' I have a proper toilet to shit my guts out on! it could be worse! The bar is in hell

lol lmao even

oh my GOD?!

A huge success and a testament to the principled, dedicated, generous campaigning and activism of the wonderful @stopoxevision.bsky.social team

Bought some tempera paint sticks and they're really fun to use. They feel somewhere between a wax crayon and paint to me. You can kinda blend them to just play around with colours and I like that you have to give up being precise. Can recommend using kids art supplies to get back into art!

Not just lobbying! our new paper maps 27 mechanisms of regulatory capture used by Big AI + 11 narrative framings that rationalise capture. “Big AI’s Regulatory Capture: Mapping Industry Interference and Government Complicity” will be presented at #FAccT2026 next month arxiv.org/abs/2605.068... 1/

#3GoodThings on a Very Hard Day 1. Made it to the post office 2. It's nearly strawberry season. I had my first punnet of British strawberries and they were good 3. We're getting close to the end of the day and I've made it through without prn so far

My housing association is making me ill with stress

The late and much missed Ross Anderson famously wrote "The idea that complex social problems are amenable to cheap technical solutions is the siren song of the software salesman and has lured many a gullible government department on to the rocks." Today I can also hear him grumbling "oh FFS."

Jury members were not told that four Palestine Action activists they convicted after a retrial for criminal damage to an Israeli weapons company site would face sentencing as "terrorists", for a protest that took place before their direct action group was banned www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

‘Yes, breaking news here. Wes Streeting is apparently keen to make his case to Labour Party members to become the next Prime Minister. A spokesperson told me his message is: ‘what if the ongoing drift to the right was continued but orchestrated by a goblin from the film Labyrinth?’ A strong pitch.’

Someone needs to set this song to a montage of images of the current Labour government as we watch it all go down hand in unloveable hand youtu.be/QS27S3mspjU?...

Of course it's a mental health nurse 🙄

During jury selection, so many people filled out the questionnaire with a variation of, "It is my heartfelt belief that Elon Musk is a piece of shit," that the judge had to be like, "ok well just stipulate that nobody likes him but we trust them to be fair anyway" www.theverge.com/tech/919469/...

Okay let me summarise the English voter ID discourse for everyone not resident here: For literally centuries: no voter ID required The Tories, a couple years ago: “voter ID is now mandatory! We are only accepting forms of ID statistically carried mostly by old white wealthy citizen men”

Any tech that's marketed as 'assisting' Disabled and older people, but not designed by Disabled and older people, will inevitably be (a) crap and/or (b) cause harm. #TechSolutionismInTheBin
