It's all too easy to slag off someone as awful as Kid Rock, so you've really got no reason not to.

A screenshot from the LinkedIn page of Dr Helen Webberley If puberty blockers are fully reversible, why do we keep hearing that they're not? This week, a meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine analysed 52 studies involving nearly 6,500 participants. The researchers found that transgender women do not have an inherent athletic advantage over cisgender women, a finding that challenges the assumptions behind many blanket bans in sport. It's a significant piece of research, and it raises an important question about the broader conversation around transgender healthcare. If the evidence on sporting advantage has been overstated, what else have we got wrong? The World Professional Association for Transgender Health and the Endocrine Society have long classified puberty blockers as fully reversible. These medications suppress hormone production temporarily. When they are stopped, the body's natural puberty resumes. This is established medical science, not an emerging theory. WPATH outlines a deliberately staged approach to treatment: puberty blockers (fully reversible), then gender-affirming hormones (partially reversible), then surgery (irreversible). Each step requires informed consent and clinical oversight. The system is designed to be cautious. As healthcare professionals, policymakers, and educators, we have a responsibility to engage with the evidence rather than the headlines. Young trans people deserve care that is based on science, not fear.

The White House blamed “a staffer” for posting that racist Obama video, but an obvious detail reveals a lot about the identity of the “staffer” www.thepoke.com/2026/02/06/t...

That would be the funniest thing he's ever done, and the best way to leave politics with immediate effect.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Sir Keir Starmer has appointed Peter Mandelson as his new Downing Street Chief of Staff.

Mixed results in the celebrity art quiz last night. Bobby Davro knew nothing about impressionism, but Bonnie Tyler was superb in the Turner round.

‘The name’s And The Giant Peach. James And The Giant Peach’

This is almost certainly an undercount. Inquests into deaths can often take years. Even obvious suicides are often ruled as accidents due to cultural and religious norms. Further, many families may not be supportive and their trans identity may not have been known outside of friends.

What do we reckon?

Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Tom Homan are depraved, sociopathic, bigoted, and hate-filled sacks of shit.

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Trump this week: “As you can see, the latest drop of Epstein files toooootally exonerates me”

The incredibly redacted files: “Donald Trump threatened to have a girl he abused killed ‘like that 12-year-old’”

Can’t wait til he’s dead.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.

Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

I absolutely loved this.

I just saw a sign in a car saying "Baby On Board"

That's no way to run a business, is it?

Presumably it's a non-executive role.

So many men named in the Epstein files say "I was only emailing him for financial advice, something I now hugely regret of course" and then the email is "hi j-dawg, loved partying with you and the naughty little girls this weekend, same again soon, bestie?" and Epstein replying "me am sayy yse . !1"

He fluffed his hair up to hide the knob on his head.

The funniest photograph ever taken, showing Ricky Gervais using a microphone stand to pose as the crucified Jesus. He's wearing a crown of thorns and has the word 'ATHEIST' daubed on his chest in red. His expression, as ever, is that of a thirteen year-old who's just said 'shit' in front of granny.

Your occasional reminder that Ricky Gervais posed for this, so you never have to listen to him about anything.
