Just as well it wasn't an actual pick-up line 😜

I blame Farscape for many things 😅👀

Looks like all the spaces were occupied again 🙄
Have a good one, lads.

That's a terrible innuendo! 🤣

🤣
I guess that invitation is still open then 😜

Hurrah!

Maybe they found the hidden stash bojo forgot he had from the COVID parties?

Anything left for the 2 of you?

I highly recommend Polysecure by Jessica Fern. It's a much harder reading, because it's based on the author's academic research and it's a bit dry, but also deeply personal and helped me A LOT

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.

She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

🧵👇

If the headlines spinning this as a win for Peggie seem pre-written, I guarantee it's because they were, however carefully couched they might seem after some hasty editing.

Read the ruling and you'll find that the tribunal found Beth Upton to be calm and largely credible, and they accepted her account of the 2023 incident concluding that Peggie had deliberately engineered a confrontation, and had, in fact, harassed Upton.

There were no other complaints.

so Beth Upton was - very publicly - put through hell, monstered, harassed, abused by the press, by politicians, by her opponents lawyers and by the most rabid, fanatical online hate movement for... nothing

Rights groups warn against UK plans to weaken torture protections in ECHR Exclusive: Ministers face pushback over potential changes to asylum seekers’ rights before Council of Europe meeting

Should go without saying, but if protections against torture are preventing your policies being implemented then it isn't the protections which are the issue.

There's no difference, for those affected, here from leaving the ECHR if rights are removed anyway.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

this has become a very important video to me

The Stargate reboot we all need

Anyone on here have a GEHC INCell Analyzer 2200 and want to connect in how to keep them running? Know of any 3rd party service options?

Please share widely!

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Horrible idea. AI will regress all grants towards the mean since AI is trained to produce the average output.

Grants require expertise that ignores bad literature and rejects author assertions if false. no AI review I've seen has ever challenged the author's assertions as fundamentally flawed.

Putin is a far more successful manipulator of Western psychology than he is a conqueror of Ukrainian defensive positions share.google/t4tDq7zXBj7o...

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

It's good to see a development like that. We get so many queries about AI development, in most cases without explanation of what it is actually meant to do, except make everything better.
Usually it's some ML requirement for specific data analysis, occasionally an LLM that will write reports.

Reform in Scotland have pushed islamophobia during a by-election, advocated concentration camps for asylum seekers, and now a blatantly racist attack on Glasgow's schoolchildren.

Everyone who believes in equality, human rights and democracy must recognise this threat for what it is: fascism.

Russia ‘ready’ for war with Europe, Putin says, as US peace talks end without progress Kremlin aide says Ukraine crisis is no closer to resolution after Witkoff talks, as Russian president accuses European powers of sabotaging peace

Of course there was no progress because Witkoff & Kushner are real estate men, not diplomats. Because Russia doesn’t want peace, it wants conquest. And because when Putin says shit like this, we should believe him

The Winiary/Kielecki argument is much more entertaining

Thank you, it wasn't a good part of my life but I really have nothing to complain about, on the whole, I came through unscathed. Maybe just a bit more aware of how much other people suffered

Not at all, although never directly affected, I suffered the HIV related stigma.
The first thing my mother did when I came out was to send me for a test. I was 19, it was awful. Some shoddy lab hidden somewhere, a rough nurse with nothing nice to say. I cried so much. It stayed with me for 2 decades
