Hannah Spencer: Green MP gets police escort from violent demo The Green Party MP was put into a waiting police car after a demonstration turned violent in Manchester.

BBC headline implying that the anti-hatre demo Hannah Spencer supported was violent, rather than her and her supporters being violently attacked by the anti-trans activists the #BBC promotes. We've seen the videos, BBC

Not ashamed to say I do this in the kitchen most Friday evenings with a whippet. Looks JUST like that Rachel

What’s “without AI”?…

As an employer, this both fascinates and terrifies me Sharon. I will watch again though as you’re doing good service

I think the best way to describe this is "Buyer's Remorse".

“Whoops, there go my bloomers”

The perils of having your notes on your phone next to laptop. Recording a podcast, and trying to look at the screen, when Google News hits me with “do Charles and Camilla sleep in the same bed”. Wasn’t thrown at all 😬

Yes, very interested in the implied cultural differences and would be keen to know if they captured faith/religion data alongside the views Perhaps not given they asked specifically about initiating sex.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters.

We were proud to meet Zack at launch of the Trans Lives Report by @transactualuk.bsky.social

Biggest problem is reaching a definition. School apps are monetised, chat is a feature in most products and services. Even primary school works on clickbait models. I will follow, with interest, but still feel we can’t put the genie back in the lamp, we can only tell it off for being a shit genie

The normalisation of “I ran your photo through Copilot” needs to stop. Someone just fixed my teeth FFS

I hope as Tommy Robinson flees Dubai he settles in the first safe country he arrives in

At my daughter’s 13th birthday party and she’s just referred to one of the waiters as “the worker”. Sorry Dad 😬

sex matters trustee charlotte cadden

gorton and denton by-election result: she gets 706 votes, 1.9% of the total

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

A history worth remembering: Trans inclusive feminism Image of women at Camp Trans

We’re ending LGBT History Month with a reminder.

The story we’re being told right now is that feminism and trans inclusion have always been in conflict.

History tells a more complicated, and more hopeful, story.

Three drag performances jn colourful outfits and headdresses.

The day of Blackpool Tower ballroom drumming has arrived, orchestrated by Dazzling Darren for the world formation dance championships. Headdress and wristbands tried on. I’m so far out of my comfort zone I’m gonna have to embrace this and go full Margarita Pracatan aren’t I?

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

A little late to the party, but yes, Small Prophets is adorable. Lovely casting of Michael Palin, who will make me cry I know

Every Day He Eats the Book This week: my god I want Matt Goodwin to lose. Also: a new way of seeing the world; and some very old work on a very old bus.

SOME THINGS FROM THIS WEEK'S NEWSLETTER WHICH AREN'T JUST 1,000 WORDS OF INCOHERENT RAGE CONCERNING THE CONTINUING EXISTENCE OF MATT GOODWIN:

this whole thread, honestly

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives

If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

“You criticize my fence”

Sacked off PowerBi for my board meeting and did something a bit like this in Excel instead.

Rammed day. Audit close and first board meeting of the year, with back to back calls this morning. All the slides and spreadsheets. I’m aiming for “wisened elder” as a vibe and will try not to eye-roll at PowerBI. I miss the curling 🥌

I think I saw one of them referred to as ashen?

I have no particular knowledge nor interest in Palantir, but as a public procurement lawyer looking closely at the public domain documents about the MoD-Palantir contracts, there is something concerning going on.

Two successive high value tenders without advertisements or competition?

Really?
