#KeirStarmer your anti-immigrant policies are heartless, cruel and a disgrace to the #LabourParty. I’m ashamed of you as prime minister.
I’m a hereditary Labour activist. I cleave to true Labour values. Why are you betraying us?

The UK govt: "Hmm, we might have to ban VPNs & a whole range of otehr basic privacy safeguards, to Protect The Children, y'know."

Also the UK govt: "It's perfectly fine to let Nazi billionaire & friend of Epstein Peter Thiel trawl through the entire corpus of NHS personal data on your children."

Saying "I would never be transgender" is like saying "I would never be left-handed". Uh-huh, fine. But what we have now is the equivalent of people banning the sale of left-handed scissors, or banning books that mention left-handedness because they don't want people to think it's acceptable to be left-handed or for left-handed people to be allowed to be happy...

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

The lesson of genAI has very little to do with genAI.

The real lesson here is that as soon as your bosses found something that could approximate the worst possible worker in your team, they obliterated entry-level jobs.

It's not coming alive. That's nonsensical. But your bosses are already alive.

Authoritarians prey on others and want absolute control because they are very insecure and cannot interact as equals with anyone. In their heads either they are in absolute control or they are worthless and ground underfoot. They also believe everyone is like that and will grind given the chance.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

New Report Says Cass Review Should Not Be Benchmark For Trans Healthcare in Australia - Star Observer A major new peer-reviewed report warns that the Cass Review is fundamentally ill-suited to guide Australia's care for trans young people.

New Report Says Cass Review Should Not Be Benchmark For Trans Healthcare in Australia

“Authored by an Australian and international team of clinicians, ethicists and researchers, the report argues that the Cass Review’s recommendations are plagued by methodological, conceptual and ethical flaws”

I understand a court of appeal ruling is due this month on the question of whether a judicial review of the ban can go ahead in November. The government is opposing it, but I think they might be wiser to get this cleared up as soon as possible. The current situation looks awful & is not sustainable.

Tories say people denied benefits in UK can return to home countries Mel Stride outlines plans to slash £47bn a year from public spending, including £23bn welfare cut

Denying all benefits to non-UK nationals sounds simple but it would mean excluding people who might have lived and paid tax in the UK for many years. And - as the interview shows - it’s not very clear what they should do under the Tory plan.

30 more women to tip this over 55k today? The calm, compassionate, inclusive feminists, who might not have seen the amazing support received for the trans community and the rejection of hate so far? Go on…

The most common error I see as a book editor is incorrectly punctuated dialogue.

NO: “Nice to meet you.” She said.
YES: “Nice to meet you,” she said.

NO: “Likewise.” The editor said.
YES: “Likewise,” the editor said.

NO: She smiled, “Hi."
YES: She smiled. “Hi.”

Be a blue-furred social justice advocate with detachable limbs, a many-eyed horror with strong opinions about metaphysics, or a jet-powered telepathic crab and stick it to the Man though the power of gratuitous cartoon violence.

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Taking a moment to imagine the incandescent outrage in the Daily Malice and the rest of the Distraction Media, if other countries demanded British 'expatriates' learn the language to a high standard, volunteer in the community etc, or they'd be uprooted from their lives and shipped back to the UK.

For those who don't know the term, "fandom" stands for "fan domination" and is a type of kink where a "fan submissive" (eg, a Lakers fan) gets off on having a "fan dominant" (say, a Dr. Who fan) belittle the submissive's hobby ("oh sportsball?") while monologuing aggressively about their own

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point.

Curious...

Look, it's not often that my response to terrible bullshit is "no, this isn't primarily about controlling women," but in the case of the Trump/RFK disinformation fest, the impact on women is a bonus.

This is primarily about conditioning people to consider autistic people's existence as a problem.

Caution anyone in Germany: video includes nazi imagery.

He's a despicable small minded transphobic scrote. I am, however, very pleased that objection to his unpleasant and unworkable policy "ideas" has been widespread and vigorous enough that he feels the need to dissemble.

Oh yes thank you! Just what I needed right now, more than the sleep I lost to "Book finished! That was great! Oops is that the time!?"

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda.

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

A suggestion for UK Parliament. Before passing any new law, consider plausible worst case scenario for how a future Reform government would use it. Then start to review existing laws. And if you don’t, don’t complain when it all goes wrong (assuming that government hasn’t locked you all up)
