Diana Johnson also keeps pushing for sex work regulation which most sex workers say will actually make them more unsafe, so interesting to see when women's views do and don't matter to her

Kier Starmer invited Esther Ghey, mother of Brianna Ghey, to sit in parliament when Rishi Sunak made cheap, transphobic slurs. He used the grieving mother of a dead teenager to score political points. This merely solidifies how utterly vile he is.

I love this episode, mostly because they shot Falk in London for what feels like a day, at most, before passing off the rest of the exteriors as London when it’s clearly, almost egregiously, LA.

‘Lux’ is lots of fun, but the issue it tries to tackle highlights the limits of its storytelling.

If you had any doubt about where transphobia leads, you only have to look to America, where it is already being used as a tool of fascism, as an early wedge in dehumanising larger and larger swathes of people. Trans rights are human rights. Attacks on trans rights are attacks on human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

A fringe group of bigoted weirdos have dragged British media, government, and law into their hateful obsession with trans people. Grim, depressing, and dangerous. Everyone with power in the UK who's played along should be ashamed of themselves.

A lot of 6 Music Centrists in the UK are insisting that the sort of stuff happening in other countries can't happen here because of fumfer fumfer tea and biscuits and pomp and ceremony and keep calm and carry on will keep believing that long after the people they could have helped are gone.

All this money & energy spent to make life more miserable for trans people could've been used to fight against domestic violence, wage disparity, sexual harassment, harassment of people accessing abortion services, proper childcare provision; you know, to make the world a better place instead.

This ruling is expected to lead to revision of the Equality Act — a long term goal of the far right. Once that door is opened for one group, it can be opened for all. The erosion of rights for all protected characteristics, including sex, has been made possible by this ruling.

What fictional, railway-heavy world would you like to live in? - Thomas: Steam trains running through the Haywain, but with weekly, non-fatal, yet spectacular train derailments, you'll rarely be on time to anything, and there's the looming spectre of the sentient trains being rounded up and killed.

I do and don’t agree. Anyone spinning up an ER series now would be leaping off from the premise of Season 16 (delayed) and so it’s the same foundation laid down when the show started.

It boils my piss that the news stories are continuously 'are we over-diagnosing mental health problems?' rather than 'oh my God what have we DONE to ourselves that SO many people are SO profoundly unhappy and anxious and unwell?'

I don’t quite get the sheer number of people leaping to Warner Bros. side over ‘The Pitt.’ They approached Sherri Crichton saying ‘hey, we’d like to do a new ER, set in Chicago, about an ER, and Noah Wylie is starring.’ Talks broke down so they made a show set in a Chicago ER starring Noah Wylie.

if you choose to ignore the liberals & progressives arguing for better parental leave/better provisions for parents/cities that are friendlier to families and instead choose to focus on the people going "hmm straight white women, get that womb working won't you" then I'm afraid you've picked a side!

I think that Newsround clip of Davies’ equivocating is evidence Disney isn’t paying for any more ‘Doctor Who.’

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

SNL UK has holed itself below the waterline in the press release announcing it. It promises the funniest British comedians around, forgetting that SNL is a showcase for (relatively) new and up-and-coming talent.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.
