Tomorrow! The Phoenix! #ACMS! (Picture unrelated, as that's Mr Fruit Salad onstage with @turlygod.bsky.social, who is a different comic to @joznorris.bsky.social, who IS on the bill.)

As my part of "telling creatives how much they're appreciated", this routine from @brainmage.bsky.social has been running round my head the past couple of weeks. It's genuinely a fascinating deconstruction of a great joke, bringing the audience along for the ride every step of the way.

This is a complicated story, but its impact is simple: It makes an already vastly difficult situation for Trans+ under 18s - practically impossible to navigate. And that's its design. This is what you need to know 🧵

I’m going to coin a law - call it Maugham’s First Law - and it is that nothing Wes Streeting ever says turns out to be true. 🧵

Good Law Project holds a copy of new NHS Guidance published yesterday and it is clear that Wes Streeting is continuing his war on trans people. Remarkably the national health service is now directing GPs to cause harm to the community. 🧵

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not “gold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard. IMO it’s just pseudoscience. There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.

I will surely come up with something thoughtful to say about the proposal to cut NASA's science budget in half, and especially one that reminds everyone that the cosmos is worth our curiosity and NASA explores it quite cheaply but also, FUCK FUCK FUCK, that's a major cut to climate change science 🧪

The president's budget request seeks to strangle astronomy in the US. The president's hit job specifically seeks to murder the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope – a revolutionary facility that is fully assembled, on budget, and nearly ready to launch. 🧪🔭 arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

I just posted a video about how I exposed a cardiologist who was stealing a professor's identity, who became a prominent right wing Indian propagandist, who ended up on the run from the Indian police for manslaughter...but the ending makes this Netflix documentary material youtu.be/iaY0YbjX5Pc?...

Anybody shocked by this hasn't listened to a single trans person in the last five years. They make up evidence. They pretend it has come from an expert. The create policy based on the expert and evidence. This is Cass. This is Sullivan. This is the puberty blocker ban. This is women's sport

Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

FWIW, from a neuropsychological perspective, if you wanted to make teens actively avoid or resent talking about a certain subject, a really good tactic would forcing them to watch a 4 hour drama about it, one that teachers/politicians/adult authority figures insist is "really important"

I got an email from a college student last night who saw my quote about it being a lonely time to be a scientist in the Science article last week. They just wanted me to know I’m not alone. The kids are alright 😭 This is how we get through. We build community. We fight together.
