The BBC is expected to apologise for the way a speech by US president Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama

This is a great picture of what librarians are dealing with on a daily basis. www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

So excited to see this piece about a larp that's very close to my heart (and a lovely mention of my Eurogamer article)

As the BBC carries anecdotal claims from a disgruntled former BBC staffer that it has a pro trans bias here is *actual* polling about trans people's level of trust in the BBC. (The BBC refused to carry the polling, the first of what it is like to live in Britain as trans, because it is "too weak".)

bluesky mods retire bitch

BBC Radio 4 this morning joined Trump in describing Zohran Mamdani as a "radical leftist".

A white journalist at a white BBC has made what looks like a hit piece about a white writer charged with racism by a number of writers of colour. The twist? The BBC attacks the writers of colour. Solidarity with all Black and Brown people fighting to be treated with dignity. Screw the racist BBC.

One of those really cool bits of news: women teaching women how to build flood-safe huts out of local materials - and making them pretty works of art, too!!

Trump is a nearly 80 year old narcissist who doesn’t care about leaving an inhabitable planet for future generations

And if they bow to the pressure to introduce right to work checks quickly - before Digital ID is ready - to please Reform voters they are going to whack the economy. We'll all pay, yet again, a high economic price for indulging anti-immigrant sentiment. What a mess - and all driven by bigotry.

every time i get a haircut i simply must update my icon

Oh it’s halloween

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

You get sad, Harry. *Too* sad.

@gemmaclark.bsky.social hey there, apologies to bother out of the blue I’m a fellow Glasgow resident and really like your articles, and there’s one from Bella Caledonia I’d love to ask more about Do you have a business contact email or anything like that? Thanks!

The vibe I bring to the function

Speaking at the ILGA-Europe conference in Vilnius; the For (Transphobic) Women Scotland decision features heavily alongside Trump and Orban in the introduction. That decision, in which the @supremecourt.uk locked trans people out of the hearing, has made us a recognised world leader in bigotry.

An autistic teenager who had a bucket of pigs’ blood dumped onto her at her high school prom has reportedly had far worse – even just today.

Curious how the Graham Linehan story is being spun, including by the BBC. He was arrested on suspicion of the criminal offence of inciting violence; but the BBC is now conflating his incitement with a "non-crime hate incident".

Only two days ago Shabana Mahmood was smearing those who carried on protesting after the so-called ceasefire. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

“The UK stands at a crossroads. Are we going to be a nation that respects its human rights obligations, or are we going to abandon them whenever the rightwing press demands it? First immigrants, then trans people – who next, Sir Keir?” goodlaw.social/fs2m

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Every dollar invested in so-called 'AI' instead of clean renewable energy is a dollar that drives the price of electricity up instead of down.

British tabloid journalists looking for the most unflattering picture possible of the latest trans woman who did a bad thing

Oh god, after 7 years it's actually happening www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcgH...

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018. bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Really not good at all that the Christian Right feels emboldened enough to parade in Soho in paramilitary uniforms. www.thepinknews.com/2025/10/10/k...

Membership at record levels. Polling at record levels. Winning elections at record levels. What a time to be in @greenparty.org.uk metro.co.uk/2025/10/10/z...

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.

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as: "You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right? what?"

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

just gonna put this here

But when I go into the booth next month to flip the switch again, the switch that to my eyes has produced no light in many years, do not condescend to lecture the faithless on how it is the only way out of a darkness that is deeper than this country has seen in recent memory.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

I mean, you could just ban Jesse Singal and conservative bigots from your site. Like normal non capitulating to right wing bigot businesses would. also, The Federalist posted an article about Bluesky and you banned everyone in that article, so you’re lying.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species
