Woman, 80s, dies three years after Dublin attack A woman in her 80s who was attacked in south Dublin just over three years ago has passed away.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

Oh sure it’s all fun and games until someone chooses Oddjob and the programmers intentionally make his sprite too short to hug so whoever picks the little bastard first gets to scamper around stealth hugging everyone as our arms flail wildly in the wind

Contrary to popular belief, shouting "I'm a scientist" doesn't make you right or a scientist. It is pretty funny though

This thread is super interesting and I really had no idea about the popularity of XBox being minimal compared to PlayStation and does actually speak to the success of the Microsoft marketing team for convincing us all it was an actual competitor.

The novelisation is a missed opportunity and a lost art form, poached from us by capitalists.

We still know the stories of Robin Hood and King Arthur because of novelisations. Peter Pan & Hitchhiker were novelisations. They should be a thing all writers can enjoy doing, knowing it's a real art form

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming β€” no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.

"The EHRC’s exclusionary interim guidance has had a devastating impact on trans people’s lives"

β€œNow the guidance has been withdrawn, so should the exclusionary policies that organisations rashly implemented in its aftermath. If not, they could find themselves in hot water.”

"Do you think it was having it lead by a widely hated cardboard actor who's also a sexpest cult leader who's every project in the last decade being record breaking bombs, and sprinkle it with cameos from some nepotistic rich shitheads?"

The EHRC has finally, five months after producing its wildly transphobic and, we believe, unlawful Interim Guidance now taken it down. Our judicial review challenge to that Interim Guidance will be heard in less than one month.
