Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.

What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

Greens are doing well being completely pro-trans, so the LibDems decide to ramp up the transphobia and demand trans apartheid be implemented now!

JK - I grew up in an era when mainstream women's magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women's magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are. Glamour - Better luck next year Jo. X

JK Rowling getting mad at Glamour (UK) magazine for having trans women on the cover. Shows trans people literally can’t do anything without her having a tantrum. I did like Glamour’s clap back at her though

99.9 percent of the people saying "The law is the law" have never read the FWS decision, or the applicable laws.

I do enjoy watching the bigots realize their 'magic bullet' supreme court ruling wasn't the magic bullet they wanted it to be and stamping their feet like the petulant babies they are.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".

But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

Looking at shower heads and this one lost something in translation I hope

Only one AWS region went out? Seems like there will be a big uptick in demand for AWS Architects as that's poor design. Our demo k8s clusters are in two GCP zones in one region, but anything prod I'd be concerned if it was in one region only!

cinesthetic. @TheCinesth.... 13h Teaser trailer for 'AMADEUS' starring Will Sharpe and Paul Bettany has been released. Graham Linehan @Glinner 7h How would you like to see Amadeus again, except this time Mozart is black? Me neither! Yet here it is! Clara @Americana Mama79 6h That guy is black? Graham Linehan @Glinner 6h Apparently not but the point rrrremains!

a skull full of soup.

MAGAs are apparently trying to make out Stephen King is a pedo because of a scene in IT. I don't remember the bit with Beverley they are referencing, but this one really disturbed me as a 16-17yr old when I read it! (CW for c-word and, well...)

tilly norwood hasn't starred in anything.

there are no 'ai actors'.

all of these opinion pieces are essentially selling a lie to potential investors.

it makes it really clear and obvious which publications are owned by american tech.

As to the D&D version, you gain protection with the Samsung one as no one wants to be nearby when it explodes. You also lose a finger with each use ...

JK Rowling never 'lived in poverty'. That is a lie.

Everything she says here she's saying about herself. As usual.

Or in this case dangerous technology

Wow all the hours we spent in the writers room brainstorming how to appeal to fascist billionaires WASTED

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Wanting people excluded from a public space isn't a "right". I think you need to go look up what that means

Are you trans, want to escape the UK, but only have a British passport? You can live in Ireland and get an Irish (EU) passport by naturalisation. No visa needed!

UK passport holders can live and work in Ireland with no minimum £savings requirement or funding.

Note: Healthcare is still free.

If you can show proof of living in Ireland for 5 years you can then apply for naturalisation and get an Irish (EU) passport.

Richard Dawkins, friend of Jeffrey Epstein, has contributed to a new book compiled by Lawrence Krauss, friend of Jeffrey Epstein who publicly supported him after his conviction for soliciting child prostitution, in which he argues that recognition of trans people are a threat to women’s rights

This is not solidarity. You have thrown your LGBTQIA+ members under the bus to support a genitally-obsessed bigot who is right now working on trans apartheid in Britain.

Rot in piss.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

how to fire every cop lmao

Aleister Crowley, Ennio Morricone and goth. Great combination.

A Black woman being fired because she quoted Charlie Kirk's bigotry against Black women feels pretty on point for 2025. The racism and misogyny aren't the problem, but accurately pointing it out is.

Quite staggering hubris from Hodge and his fellow justices.

As for “taking the flak”, he’s retired (comfortably, I assume), cis, male and white. So I might humbly suggest that he has no fucking idea what “the flak” actually looks like.

The far right turnout today is much smaller than the number of people who came to protest at London Trans Pride this year, but the far right will of course get infinitely more press coverage.
