What we learnt from Nicola Sturgeon's memoir The much anticipated book by the former first minister is now on sale - and the BBC's Scotland editor James Cook has been doing some speed-reading.

Cool to see Nicola Sturgeon endorsing the principle that trans women's genders can be taken away as punishment. Add another to the fuck you pile I guess au.news.yahoo.com/learned-nico...

You forgot the unlimited paid holiday/sick time off with some companies with 8ish mandatory take off work paid bank holidays.

I knew Keir Starmer was going to be a bad Prime Minister, but 'so incompetent I accidentally banned wikipedia' was not even in the realm of possibilities I had considered.

Amazing that I can still be surprised after all this time.

This is what I don't get. Terfs were out w knives for her. JKR has been out for her. And now the worst people are happy due to what NS said. Her stalwart supportive communities, she just threw under the bus. Terfs won't be buying the book she's selling but now neither are people under the bus.

Somehow not be an American brand? Naw, we're boycotting their oversized, unsafe, overpriced, fascist country stuff.

Ofc it is this guy behind the article.

Twenty years ago, the Scottish left, united as @thessp.bsky.social, challenged the British state and the G8 in incredible ways. They rewrote the liberal "Make Poverty History" slogan, marched through Edinburgh, Faslane, and Gleneagles. Their strength ensured Scotland wouldn't suffer the

Crazy how we could just ask the witnesses aka the survivors what happened.

They are never, ever ready for any actual convos about life. They shut down at the first struggles and hurdles even though they will badger you until you tell them why you aren't interested with promises that they won't get agitated when you tell them abt religious abuses. They always get agitated.

When you fall down at the first hurdle of human rights as well as pathetic on Independence, there is zero point to them. SNP are careerists. That's it. It also means they are open to all the self-serving interests that comes with.

THIS, yes SNP are decent people in name only. How many conferences have they let their members vote on things that they then completely ignore and do the opposite of...it's a lot now.

Imagine wanting to ammend your legacy when NO ONE was ASKING, to: "wEll AcKuaLlY, I ShOulD haVe PuNcHed tRanS foLks haRder" this betrayal is of immense stupidity proportions. Throw the whole party away.

Ugh. Why are they such cowards on repeat is something I keep asking myself. It's also a vote loser. When people run on anti-trans issues as a main issue they so often lose.

the arguments of trans people: *thousands of words about how I'm a human being and deserve equal rights and to not live under oppressive conditions*

The arguments of transphobes: I just don't like em

liberals on bluesky: have you tried being more convincing, trans people?

All 5 of jkr's racist and bigoted friends aren't worth pandering to.

What time of year do you need them to flower? Do they need to be able to stand up in a vase as a cut flower? Groundcover? Perennial? Annual? www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/cla...

I'm baffled and so upset. What a stupid thing to believe, admit and the timing of it? Just insanity. Can't wait to never vote SNP again, again.

This is all so weird. They really really don't want independence or to rejoin the EU do they. Fk the SNP.

😭This sucks so bad.

What the hell? Is she being forced? Who is this person now? My heart is broken at this betrayal. Absolutely f the SNP. What an incredibly stupid thing to do to ruin your legacy/reputation amongst vulnerable communities. Guess we are continually proved right at the rot in the SNP.

This arguably makes the UK even more stupid for seeing the results in the US and actively pursuing the same course.

Lol Kier Starmer is a fascist. Wdym?

Why bc hey might go further to the right than the laat Tory govt like the current Labour party? There are no differences between the Tories, Reform and Labour now.

Gee, I wonder why the AI industry who is trying to destroy copyright wld be incentivised to destroy public libraries? When authors and creatives who aren't clever enough to not ruin their credibility, use AI likely discover they don't actually own their "work"... getacopywriter.com/blog/who-own...

AI theft wrecking online library websites. AI continues to be a horror.

Ew no. Would rathr such an evil person didn't come to Scotland.

Makes me admire her more but also what a rubbish tabloid the Scotsman is for this.

Good for Nicola but also unless she wants it to be this is nobody else's business! And she owes people nothing.
