This is a complete joke. Neurodivergence is still massively under diagnosed in the UK. Pretty much every expert in the field recognises this.

They’re about to do to ADHD meds what Cass did to trans kids. Be very afraid.

Removing bollards and allowing cars to park where they want will not be successful.

Let’s talk about AI art.

“The advantages of a first past the post system, of course, are that it prevents an overly fragmented parliament in which a stable governing majority cannot be found, and that it keeps the radical right down.”

The traffic lights at Tollcross are off.

Which is terrifying and I got off to walk.

But also fascinating to see how the cars all approached the junction hesitantly and gave way to pedestrians when not being given clear permission to go.

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions. He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly. The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity. He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings. Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

It's gone. It's not reclaimable. It's a symbol of colonialism and racist hatred. Sticking a wanky little phrase across it isn't going to change that. Sticking yet more flags all over the place is going to make people feel further isolated by it though, and give the racists just what they want.

MIRANDA: the new Taylor Swift album is boring

CHARLOTTE: I think it's a little unseemly how many men she's been with

SAMANTHA: oh please those are rookie numbers

A labor issue yes, and a literacy issue, and both are a result of deliberate policies from the Republicans over decades.

If your population is tired and overworked, and hasn't been given a proper education, it's much easier to manipulate them.

many benefits are household claims. imagine you're british and your spouse has ILR, and you're told that you're being denied benefits because your spouse is from "other parts of the world and they can leave". imagine if you lose your job and your spouse can't claim jobseekers, so you end up homeless

Ofcom to take no further action after finding GB News breached broadcasting code for "homophobic slur" After more than six months of investigation, Ofcom has concluded that while GB News breached the broadcasting code when a presenter repeated "a homophobic slur" it will take no further action.

"Ofcom to take no further action after finding GB News breached broadcasting code for "homophobic slur""

“the matter is resolved” Ofcom clearly are not fit for purpose in protecting LGBTQ+ rights from broadcasters.

So much of political news these days is shocking but unsurprising.

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

I can't remember the last time an 'improvement' in work policies or tools actually was.

EU citizens living in UK shouldn’t be allowed welfare benefits, says Tory rising star Katie Lam — who is earning plaudits on the Conservative right — calls for Brexit withdrawal agreement to be reopened.

Not a serious person. Zero mention of what this would mean for the over a million British citizens whose own access to welfare in the EU is protected by the withdrawal agreement.

You know, it reminds me of medieval cathedrals at this point. Huge edifices that took literal generations to complete, a vast investment of resources: time, materials, money, even lives. All for the glory of god, because people thought (as they always do) they were living in the End Times.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends

I was going to say CAN YOU IMAGINE what it would be like if Edinburgh stopped being in hock to cars, but we don't have to because we can see it in many other cities 😭

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Making fun of extremists is just and good and most importantly, funny.

Their radicalisation is usually some version of feeling mocked or left out.

They’ll gussy it up sometimes, but mostly they weren’t invited to a party, or a pretty girl called them a loser once so now everyone else has to die.

When do we agree that Elm Row (and, really, the whole of Leith Walk) just needs to have all parking removed?

Did they think being underground would be safer? 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

‘[Lord Wolfson says:] The [ECHR] and the Human Rights Act “place major restrictions on individual decision-making at every level (civil servants, judges, and ministers) and in policy and legislative design”.’

YES THAT’S THE ENTIRE POINT

BBC just describe the Hamas demand that the war not restart after hostages have been released as a “tricky point” in the negotiations. Rather than a basic condition of a permanent ceasefire.

the thing about being staunchly anti gambling is that it will always put you on the right side of history

Why the outfit? "I like frogs!"

PERHAPS twenty years ago they might have found savings to be made, but anyone with half a brain could anticipate that the accumulated attrition of recession, austerity, and pandemic has left the public sector with absolutely no wastage. I don't know where these clueless people have been hiding.
