This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

Thought I’d do a mega hread on NPR, partly because I’ve seen some London based commentary that doesn’t really get the bigger picture quite right imho

Nicha Cabral (pic), born #OnThisDay in ’34, came out as bisexual at the age of 75 & was one of only 4 known #LGBTQ+ #F1 drivers, the others being Mike Beuttler, who died of #HIV/#AIDS; Lella Lombardi, one of only 2 women to start a pukka F1 GP; & Ralf Schumacher.

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

None of those people were voted out.

📣 Callout for footage! 📣 Anyone have video of: 🎥 trans+ campaign activities / trans+ people present outside the Scottish Parliament as the GRA Reform Bill was debated (2022) 🎥 Trans+ protests against the UK Section 35 veto It’s for this wonderful project: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/a-dance-of... 1/

Just donated to this. The Trans Solidarity Alliance @transsolidarity.bsky.social did vital work in 2025. Unlike the transphobes they don't have wealthy fascist donors to support their work, so please contribute to their fundraiser and lets get them some of the funds they need for 2026.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

Yep, The Times is going with 'The murder of Renee Nicole Good is the fault of immigrants'.

World’s richest 1% have already used fair share of emissions for 2026, says Oxfam

Imagining Buttigieg in Chile in 1973 saying "we have these soldiers who should have been trained not to throw political prisoners out of helicopters, and yet this happened on General Pinochet's watch. The whole point of the Caravana de la Muerte is to make this country more stable and safe"

The optics alone of Grok now being a paid subscription child pornography site should be enough. But no, of course not, you can't piss off the worlds richest man baby as he would turn his cultural destruction machine against you. At what point do these cowards grow a spine? What scandal is enough?

People are scared of the spread of fascism, rightly so. We have 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 elections in May and it’s essential to keep Reform out. The far right thrive on apathy and hopelessness. Good turn out almost always beats them. Register to vote. Why wait? Do it today www.gov.uk/register-to-...

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. ― Anais Nin #flower #daisy #nature #photography #light #shadow #stilllife

Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-deepf...

Renee Good, a citizen & mother was shot 3 times in the head, on camera, by a masked gang. She is smeared by Trump & MAGA lunatics. May she rest in peace & her family find comfort. Frankly the only surprise is it took this long. Farage wants “ICE style raids” in the UK. #r4today

Scots have been asked to come up with witty puns or spoof names for some of Scotland’s gritters for this year

This is my CES 2026 thread of AI slop. First off: astrologers, prepare to be out of a job! This bold new company is bringing AI to the world of Horoscopes and for some reason merging that with a visibly unwell Furby. Bonus: borderline illegal claims that it can "cure" certain behaviors.

Ofcom document refers to LGB+ instead of LGBTQ+ T and Q are erased. www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

I very badly want this, and I think it's further proof that a lot of the good stuff we abandoned in the last decade or two because shiny is making a clear comeback. Print is back, obviously, but also physical buttons, going to concerts without recording, and maybe even having a real-life girlfriend.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

For many of those seeking asylum a mobile phone isn't just a lifeline to keep in contact with loved ones, it's an essential resource in accessing information and resources. State mandated theft is another example of Labour's dehumanisation of people seeking safety www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" Is an excellent description for the thin veneer of common-sense that hides the hate.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

So. 2025 has been the most significant year of my life so far. And it's not even particularly close. Trans rights came under attack this year in the UK. I have been trying my best to help fight back. I've been a little busy. Here's a thread of some of what I have been up to 🧵

2025 and Transition (1/2)

Over 275 authors, editors, critics and diehard readers came together over the last month to vote on their favorite transfeminine books of the year. It's my honor to present the 2025 TFR Reader's Choice Awards! Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted 🩷

For the record, I was an advisor to Ed Miliband's Labour Party on tax policy, I strongly support a wealth tax, and I am aware of a viable and fully costed proposal to implement one in the UK.

I'm not worried about people being abusive to their AI chatbots, especially men being sexually abusive, from the POV of "AI chatbots are a real sentient guy being harmed", but I feel like the way you repeatedly learn to treat something that can't say no *must* bleed into how you treat humans, right?

This is not a defense of Greene, this is a staggering indictment of how liberalism will always enable and empower fascism. "She's trying to kill trans kids, but that's a good thing because it means she knows how to use the political machine to get what she wants (i.e. dead trans kids)"

Which “policy preference” are you speaking off? Which one? Please be specific, who do you feel should be thrown under the bus and lose rights, protections, healthcare, lives? Which people is it we should just accept are going to be harmed?

GCs: “This must be the year that we put an end to this trans stuff!” Trans people: “We want to be left alone and allowed to live a private life as the gender we are.” ‘Smart’ cis people: “What a toxic debate! Glad I’m keeping out of it!”

Not only is he confusing measles and chickenpox… he’s also pushing a eugenics agenda. He’s claiming if you die from measles it’s because you’re “already sick”. First, that’s not true. Many healthy children died from measles. Second, sick people deserve protection too.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains. Mate, you left the rest of Seattle on the table? Fair enough.....

"I worry that we are rapidly moving towards a society of self-absorbed and entitled individuals who have no time, affection or care for their parents." Letter in the Times from a 'relationship and family therapist' in response to Sarah Ditum's article attacking kids who have cut off abusive parents

HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about. Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.
