Oh lord. I can see what happened... He got to the gate on the road to the Island and thought "it can't be that way", carried on down the road and came to the broomway...

As an ironic statement on the idiocy of AI culture, I can get it (expensive one, though)... As an actual strategy for tackling a course, god I hope it isn't... I mean, it's not like work courses need anything more than a basic understanding of a subject and half a brain. Minor time sinks

As soon as they start being "clear" repeatedly, you know they know they don't have a leg to stand on...

They also have a habit of giving prominence to people with no expertise on the subject they are brought in to discuss. Cass is a case in point. A non-expert thrust into a position of being a useful commentary source for the bigoted establishment

Tbf though, going around saying "it's only 293 today, I won't call it warm until we pass 300" _would_ sound kind of deranged in everyday conversation

Who's unbearably lightening their being?

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

Kit cat with bite marks through 3 fingers

Straight up don’t give a shit anymore

If you break it in half, is it a Toblertwo...?

I guess that adds up...?

Ah no. I can just see some tech bro saying "Eureka! We need to build it out of meat..."
Pretty sure there's whole horror story genres to be built out of that

My current employer brings someone in to give seminars on things to look out for with trans people, allowances to be made for awkward/spotty employment history or problems getting references, for example. Can't help with the attitude of hiring managers, however. And the seminars are optional 🤷

We demand kisses from... In cut our newspaper letters

My gf, the cat and the dog in cartoon balaclavas

Gf decided we should make valentines cards so while I made one with hearts, she made a ransom note and hid my coffee til I gave her and the animals kisses 😭 🤣

Someone should, bluntly, point out to him that human rights also apply in NI and that he, personally, is breaching them

@naomilong.bsky.social what are you doing about this? You made a big deal of saying you pushed for NI to be included in this trial and now this.

If I’m bisexual and he’s bisexual are we a whole sexual? A fourth? I hate math

If you're reading the mainstream media headlines on the 'Keeping children safe in education' draft guidance and worrying about the kids being transed in kindergarten, please stop and take a peek at my blog, written with specific reference to Alice's experience at school.

That only works if the majority of the party in question are not bigots...

Headline: "Can the Telegraph claim it is not involved in stochastic terrorism?"

(Bearing in mind Betteridge)

Ban will stay in place until government decides on appeal Judges Victoria Sharp, Jonathan Swift and Karen Steyn said the ban will remain in place while the government considers whether to appeal.

I share this only to help those contemplating whether to tweet "I support Palestine Action".

Anyone want to explain to her how lowering the rate at which costs increase, doesn't actually cut costs...?
Or that student loan repayments are not affected by the amount left to pay?
Or that the vast majority of students will never pay off the loan, so the total amount is academic...

I do love my induction hob...
But I broke two cast iron grill pans on it (and irredeemably warped a carbon steel one), before I found a pan that worked 🤷

So I understand your position

A cartoon on 'sampling bias' A person is standing, presenting the results of a survey, the responses listed are: Yes, I love responding to surveys (99.8%) No, I toss them in the bin (0.2%) The presenter is saying "We received 500 responses and found that people love responding to surveys"

Has there *ever* been a parent-child relationship where there were not secrets kept (both ways)? If so, was it at all healthy?

Anyone?

What are schools to do, when the biggest danger to trans kids is the NHS and govt...?

More importantly, when we rejoin, it will become enforced here, too...

I think that's the colour the Greeks called "bronze"...

Petition: Do not ban social media for under 16s I think the government shouldn’t ban social media for under 16s. This is because for many young people social media is how they communicate with their friends. Some people view social media as a lifel...
