What they mean is "people who don't conform to their ideal of what a man or woman should look like may be asked about gender status in workplace"

Wait until they find out I’m just three mediocre VHS movies that my parents happened to own copies of so I watched them each like a thousand times as a kid in a trench coat

Today, the Government launches plans to fast-track driverless vehicle trials in the UK. One of the companies involved says London presents a big challenge: “It has seven times more jaywalkers than San Francisco.” Except… it doesn't. 🧵

Melania and Grimes tonight.

Men are too emotional to use social media

Perfect…

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

The very best way I’ve found to explain what it feels like when even a tiny little piece of my schedule gets changed is to ask them if they’ve ever tried to move a photo around in Microsoft word

Not now, newly sentient AI technology, we’ve already got enough going on as it is ffs

Do not be a necromancer be a yeahcromancer

I see chinless quisling Nick Clegg is somehow under the impression that anyone in this country wants to hear from him ever again.

My plans for a major retail emporium are being threatend by wholesalers who won't let me steal the stock.

1 year anniversary of this version of that amazing song being released. It's gorgeous and unlike the one by Johnny Cash, it rips my soul out in a slightly gentler manner. youtu.be/g4UZRYShjYU?...

When all the immigrants are gone and they've removed trans people from public life, then what? Their lives will still be shit. What then?

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

duolingo recently declared they are now an AI-first company. well, here at The Museum of English Rural Life, we pride ourselves in being EI-first. EI EI O

If you're in the UK and you're annoyed that you don't know which AI companies are training on your copyrighted work without permission, the reason is now simple: the Labour party. This isn't a political statement - it's a fact. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

So pleased we’ve identified foreign carehome workers who do the toughest jobs for fuck all money as the big problem with the country. Was worried it might be someone else.

Satire go home, you’re not needed anymore

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Instead of "keeping men out of women's spaces" the transphobes have given men a pretense to barge into a restroom and demand to see women's genitals

Farage and Deform wanting to spend money on disgraced statues instead of fixing potholes. Put that on a fucking poster and show it to your racist uncle.

Touch screens on cars worsen response time significantly worse than drink driving or being high: www.wired.com/story/why-ca...

I truly wonder if they actually believe councils are frittering away large parts of their budgets on these things, and not that it’s the Barnet Graph of Doom come true, as predicted. As the @lsepublicpolicy.bsky.social professor says, they’re going bust just trying to meet their legal requirements

'Don't you dare try to invest in our area or create jobs'. Just imagine this lot in charge of the country

We know Reform are winning lots of seats, but look at this under the bonnet - they dominate 2nd places too - in wards Labour, Tories, Lib Dems & Greens won Reform was most likely to have come 2nd in all of them. Thinking today *must* be a high water mark for Reform is a mistake as more ground to go

Just deranged. This was a *solved* problem.

terfs will never be happy bcos trans women have never been the source of their misery.

My friend, the NHS can't even test all the autistic children for autism.

On the day the government announced plans to jail cyclists for life if they kill pedestrians, yet another “oh sorry, I was distracted” driver who killed a cyclist walks from court with no jail time (2 years suspended). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I doubt I will ever witness a better description of pheasants than the time I heard a ten-year-old call them "fashion chickens".

Someone on TikTok pointed out that Pedro Pascal’s two sentence Instagram comment got more press for trans rights than all trans people combined in the wake of this ruling- which is infuriating but also a reason for more cis people to speak out

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

Keir, don’t pretend you have beliefs beyond “I want to be the Prime Minister”.

In many ways, particularly, but not exclusively, anti-trans, anti-disabled and anti-migrants, Labour has gone further than Conservatives. It isn't only inhumanity, although that would be argument enough, it's bad policy. They're chasing voters who'll never support them, and losing those who might 1/

They're going after Parkrun again, you know, that event where lots of people of all ages, abilities and genders run around a local park and it not, in any form, a race?

Wayne Manor if Bruce Wayne was very very boring. 🦇

2025 in a nutshell: 3 For 2 on idiots, liars, and narcissists.

Saying trans people threaten the concept of sexual orientation is like saying mashed potatoes threaten the concept of dinner
