Watch out, they're adictive.

I grew up on an organic smallholding. You can transport sheep in a Mini estate (1970s vdrzion, not BMW fake) so I would imagine a Punto wpuld be easy.

That is an impressive and highly appropriate curse.

My country had one official religion when I was a kid. The Church of England.

Now it has two:

The NHS, and The War.

Very much so. Wes was a nasty piece of work when he was NUS president, and now he's a minister he's punching down on anyone he can.

I am pleased to say that growing up as an adult in the early 90s I recognised it as a crock of shite and tried to be a better person.

The key is what you do when you grow up. My sister went to Oxford and had.most of the Boris Johnson crop of Tory MPs as contemporaries. Believe me, there are career finishing stories in there. She went tto the crazy end of far right and is now an identitarian livimg in Germany.

My parents were very right wing. Supported South Africa, wanted the return of the death penalty, etc. I was brought up to be part of that world, as were I think many of my classmates. I'm not proud of my teenage self, but I can say I was one of the crowd not the outlier.

I was one of Maggie's Assisted Place kids at one of the most high-flying academic UK private schools from 1982 to 1989. This statement has *so* much truth to it. There was a guy in my year who fit that completely. The scary thing is I heard he joined the police.

If Wes Streeting comes after ADHD meds it will have a measurable effect on the UK tech economy.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I've seen RAM price crises before. This one will burst, don't worry.

I worry more for the physical safety of American trans people inthe future though than I do for Brits.

The UK is not awash with guns, and we do not have an ICE style organisation running amok.

It's not a game of bingo, but I think that while conditions in public are more dangerous for trans people in parts of the USA, the UK is now edging into having more hostile government treatment for us.

I don't think things will get better for UK trans people in 2026. Transphobes will continue marginalising us, with aid from media & government.

I worry they'll seek to remove our IDs, or criminalise us.

Best chance is May local elections. If Greens do well, it's a shot across their bows.

They interpret "Never again" as "Never again to the people they did it to last time". They fail to see the equivalence in their current actions.

Many of them had to pay reparations after the war, and executives who participated in the Holocaust faced punishment though.

Any organisation joining the persecution of transgender people in the UK does not get a free pass.

This is going downhill fast, and it will end in a dark place.

When this is all over, there must be no "we didn't know", or "we were only followng orders".

This has to stick to them forever.

It's the age old problem of many similar startups all with the same idea, each convinced they are the only one with the special sauce.

Yeah, I understand that.

I am very lucky writing for Hackaday, that our readers know the difference and I can refer to an LLM or to machine learning by name.

Would it be appropriate to establish AI and then specify? "AI, using a large language model... ".

This is clearly someone who thinks the conglomerate parties created by First Past The Post are the natural order of things, and has never examined the greater plurality of a country using Proportional Representation.

There is a steady stream of refugees leaving Britain, but a lot of them are trans people escaping the hate atmosphere created by outlets like the Mail.

I'm actually 100% right, though.
