This is good. Under Falkner the EHRC was bad across the board, not just on trans stuff. Stephenson is an inadequate appointment for reasons well beyond her transphobia. Phillipson appointed her over the head of advice from people who, unlike her and Stephenson, know their job.

A party that seeks to govern from the left should be free of bigots if it's to actually reverse the social damage Labour are doing. The kinds of people involved in "Your Party" therefore raise some serious red flags.

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.

1. In May I published my peer-reviewed research into the effects of the Starmer-Streeting puberty-blocker ban. TLDR; lots of children have already been harmed. TW; this is a hard read.

There is a term for adult men who deliberately harm children…

Dr Eshhar should win a posthumous Nobel for his pioneering CAR T work. It’s revolutionized medicine and will cont to. The father of my children is in remission from MM due to his discovery. It has & will change the face of treatment for cancers + a host of immunological illnesses.
RIP, good man.

I’m going to be testing this in the future hopefully with a speaking tour around UK universities, to speak about organised transphobia.

Looking for LGBTQ Socs in unis to invite me.

Remember this, next time you go all gung-ho about academic and scientific boycotts of Israel. Not only does it help no one. Its harms and these harms can be incalculable.

Listening to LBC News, politicians are still lying about what the Rwanda scheme was, or they still don't understand that nobody was ever to come back

Important thread.

If they can deny due process to some people, they can deny it to us all.

Which means we will have no way to prove our innocence or take legal action if captured.

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

If You Can Keep It: 'Alligator Alcatraz' and due process Overcrowded cells, overflowing toilets, and no access to prescription medications.

Listen here:

This school rejected a student because his parents are gay. Now some parents are leaving. - LGBTQ Nation “Silence is acceptance,” said one school parent after the kid was kicked out.

shit continues to unfold at St. Agatha y’all

—parents pulling their kids en masse
—teachers resigning
—lemonade stand over the weekend raised $1500 for LGBTQ rights
—protest outside Mass got spicy
—cowardly priest flailing, desperate to pass buck to Archbishop Sample

2019 – 2024 – Repeated denials and discovery stonewalling Through years of communications with the police, the plaintiffs and the court through the investigation and later the discovery process for the lawsuit, Tesla never mentioned that it had all the data that explained how Autopilot saw the crash, which everyone was seeking, sitting on its servers for years. The facts are: Tesla had the data on its servers within minutes of the crash When the police sought the data, Tesla redirected them toward other data When the police sought Tesla’s help in extracting it from the computer, Tesla falsely claimed it was “corrupted” Tesla invented an “auto-delete” feature that didn’t exist to try explain why it couldn’t originally find the data in the computer When the plaintiffs asked for the data, Tesla said that it didn’t exist Tesla only admitted to the existence of the data once presented with forensic evidence that it was created and transfered to its servers.

This whole story is insane. Tesla apparently did everything it could to avoid providing the data it had about its Autopilot crash. This is just a snippet and there's a lot more. electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

So Long to Tech’s Dream Job

@greyoctagon.bsky.social and I spoke to @kateconger.com about the bottoms-up to top-down culture change at Google, and how executives are using the threat of job loss to force us to work on AI that they intend to use to replace our jobs.
