Not ‘gay as in happy’ but gay as in ‘there’s prep wedged in the charging port of my work laptop’

There must be laws about letting a company as incapable as Evri / Hermes to continue operating 😬

Babe, wake up and get back on Twitter for a few hours, it’s all gone to shit for Elon. The racist MAGA crowd are tearing him to shreds, he’s calling Americans unskilled and dumb, pretending to be a man called ‘Adrian’ and taking blue ticks away from big-name Republican supporters who call him out

Nope, I see nothing troubling about the toilet in this Welsh pub, nothing at all. No privacy concerns whatsoever

OK serious question but why can trains keep selling tickets when every seat has been sold leaving people standing all the way down the length of a train. How is this safe and why not do it on coaches or planes if it is 🤷

Every workplace would improve staff morale enormously by installing soft lighting in the office toilets. This is the hill I will die on. This is my Roman Empire

PinkNews: Inside the scandal tearing the LGBTQ publisher apart The LGBTQ+ site is reeling from multiple allegations of sexual misconduct

The details of the workplace culture at PinkNews, reported by the Evening Standard here, are scarily familiar & deeply triggering. It has been 10 months since I was forced out of my role there - I’m glad all this is coming out, but it still feels so fucking fresh

Look, I’m not saying that a senior reporter at The Sun would make up quotes, but there is literally no trace of any of the three “furious” people named in this piece online - apart from this piece, and the GBNews (lol) rewrite

PinkNews boss suspended from NHS job after BBC investigation The BBC heard claims Dr Anthony James kissed and touched a younger PinkNews colleague at a party.

I’m not even sure he was that gr8 a doctor because he scheduled my first redundancy meeting while I was still signed off work with stress

Only the BBC’s Today Programme could get through an entire sports segment on the backlash to Saudi Arabia holding the World Cup without once mentioning it is illegal to be gay in the country

Spectator rebuked for calling Juno Dawson 'a man who claims to be a woman' The Spectator has been reprimanded by the press regulator IPSO for calling author Juno Dawson "a man who claims to be a woman".

Spectator rebuked for calling Juno Dawson 'a man who claims to be a woman'

The ruling is a rare finding of a breach by the press of the discrimination section (Clause 12) of the Editors' Code of Practice pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...
