‘I’ve been spat on’: gender non-conforming women tell of toilet abuse in aftermath of supreme court ruling Support groups report that women and non-binary people are increasingly being challenged in toilets and changing facilities – but others call it scaremongering

When I said the various Rowlings and Linehans of Britain were assuming and hoping for the public to act as the unpaid enforcement arm of their crank movement, this is precisely what I meant.

Marion Main - Extremist accord...•19h g g... The fact he personally stepped in to halt the SNP ceasefire vote, and now this shows he is conflicted or compromised. He has to resign or at least disclose the emails so others can determine what went on. N The National & @ScotNational • 22h NEW: Lindsay Hoyle has intervened to block the release of emails he sent to Israeli politicians 'The Speaker of the House of Commons ... has formed the reasonable opinion that disclosure of the information would be likely to prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs'

The fun part is: all the pundits agreed his authority was shot to hell *At the time*, and there was lots of chat about his time as speaker probably being over. But in Britain, if something is very awkward to important people, we just stop talking about it and continue regardless.

This is the level of hypocrisy we are up against. Labour is a party of landlords, rentiers, influence peddlers, lobbyists and corporate flunkeys. A party completely captured by existing wealth and power and their wannabe bag-carriers. The i Paper # @theipaper • 2h Labour homelessness minister Rushanara Ali threw four tenants out of her east London townhouse before relisting the property for £700 a month more in rent, The i Paper can reveal trib.al/MrjEOpf

This is exactly what all those smart MPs and commentators meant when they said these swine were Sensible, Moderate opponents of extremism, with the extremism in question being the suggestion that people in decent governments should not do these things.

How Transformers: Target 2006 Warped My Tiny Mind The lasting impact of the UK comic's time-twisting and hyper-violent 1986 epic

Comrade Meer writes about the torture-porn-for-pre-teens transformer epic, Target 2006. I joke about Impactor being who we imprinted on instead of Jean Grey, but the main joke is I'm not joking.

WHEN IS IT NOT SMALL BOATS WEEK THO??
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

When is it wealth inequality week, eh?? WHEN DOES THAT COME AROUND?

This bit is correct and especially helpful in understanding How It Came To This: 1) politicians and media will never accept the left holding meaningful power 2) if there’s any prospect of that happening, they will unite to destroy it by any means necessary 3) they are all fine with the far right.

Melanie Phillips & @MelanieLatest Zohran Mamdani leads among Jewish voters by a 17-point margin in the race to become New York City's next mayor. Mamdani, a Shia "Twelver" Islamist, will bankrupt and Islamise New York and pose a threat to its Jewish community. With their Pavlovian reflex to support the Democratic party and its anti-west, anti-white, anti-Jewish ideological dogmas, it was entirely predictable that before long these US Jews would themselves become a threat to the Jewish people. That moment has arrived.

I recall the lads agreed: even a trace, a suspicion of racism in public life was utterly unacceptable and it all had to be annihilated to the subsoil with nuclear weapons. Also, here’s a BBC and Times pundit doing more fash crank racism in one tweet than most humans will do in their entire lives.

LinkedIn removes hate speech protections for transgender individuals On July 29, 2025, LinkedIn removed “misgendering or deadnaming” from examples of prohibited content in its policy on hateful and derogatory content.

Account closed. Fuck off LinkedIn. Aside from this shitty move, no one, NO ONE has EVER gotten a job off LinkedIn anyway. Worthless website.

every company: here is a binding contract that says you HAVE to stick with us for a certain time and you cannot cut that short because a contract is a contract

also every company: this clause says we can put your bill up by as much as we want whenever we want because fuck you that’s why

Mockup drawing of a UK parliament petition where the petitioner has asked for "good thing please" with description "we think the UK needs this". Government responded: "No."

Hulk hogan died when his own skeleton tore him off like a t-shirt

If only we could have a politician who’d say “Look immigration is a small issue, it’s necessary for our economy, and has always existed. The way some folk - I mean you Nigel - go on about it incessantly is just racist. Don’t be racist, you can be better than that.”

i am absolutely fucking sick and tired of seeing members of *that party* posting about the country being at "boiling point" as if they're attempting to manifest trouble & not facing any consequences for such inflammatory language

Yes - this is what DFS won't tell you.

NYT OPINION INTERESTING TIMES Is Toxic Empathy Pulling Christians to the Left? How Allie Beth Stuckey is holding the line on the right.

Are you too empathic and caring. Here’s why you should be more of a piece of shit.

Here’s how the Right is softening you up to sell off the NHS First they rewrite the past. Then they sell off the future. The NHS is next

Here’s how the Right is softening you up to sell off the NHS

They can’t scrap the NHS while you still care. So they start by saying it “wasn’t really built.” That’s not analysis. It’s strategy. Watch how they soften you up to let it go | The Bear

This explains a whole lot about why the UK is in such a mess. I thought I was going mad at the time - now I'm furious.

Stop using WeTransfer - especially for anything work-for-hire or covered by NDA.

As more and more creators turn to direct funding of our projects, it might feel like - as a consumer or a reader or a listener - you’re being asked to pay again and again, and it’s getting mad expensive, and what on earth can you do?

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?

If climate breakdown wipes out the human race there will be no one around to read books.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.
