Oh man, what a self-own. A govt lawyer brought up DEI in passing, Judge Young was Not Happy: "If putting these words together, DEI, is somehow offensive... does that mean our policy is homogeneity, inequity, and exclusion? Are you going to stand there and tell me that's now the policy of the NIH?"

We closed Abbeville Road in Clapham to cars for a few hours today and something truly radical and transformative happened. We saw a community grow. People came out to chat, laugh, listen, gossip, eat, drink and share. Just proves that streets are for people not just for cars.

my dentist is going to regret asking me whats new at my next appointment

I know he's younger than the previous pontiff, but even so, this is pretty impressive stuff given the limited time he'll have had in nets recently.

If you have yet to email your MP, or are doing so again - use this too.

A little late for mother's day but...!

Starting to think cops driving literally everywhere has warped their brains

BREAKING: A British court blocked the U.K. from transferring sovereignty over the Chagos Islands, to Mauritius, hours before the agreement was due to be signed on Thursday.

Correct. 100% endorsement.

There's a binary supermassive black hole system (one is ~18B x solar mass, other is 150M x solar mass) located ~4 billion light-years away called OJ 287. The smaller one plunges into the accretion disc of the bigger one twice every 12 years that sets off a huge flash. Cool animation showing this 👇

Welcome to the dawn of the Chinese century

Fuck yes! Finally someone actually speaking to these ghouls the way they should be spoken to!

Somehow I have managed to stumble upon the OG Buffy series and have been randomly watching them. I’m up to the episode when Willow has an online BF and he is a demon known as Malloch who accesses webcams for facial recognition and taps into school databases to plan attacks. Simpler times.

I’ve sent an email to all members of the Labour National Executive Committee about the thorny dilemma they are in right now following the Supreme Court ruling, about the National Women’s Conference. Feel free to use it as a template if you want to write as well (text in the alt text) 👍

sorry I know it's not "ha ha" funny but finding Labour's conference clusterfuck hysterical, like a cross parent going "well in that case NO ONE can have women"

One of the best emails I have ever received…

“amid a growing recognition that women's pain should be treated.”

There should be resignations at the top of the EHRC because of the way they have wantonly and purposefully misinterpreted this ruling.

Word is the govt has been shocked by the outrage caused by the Supreme Court ruling & the EHRC's 'update'. They expected us to roll over & die. But we have not. Nor have our friends, loved ones & allies. If you've not done so yet email your MP. How & what to say are here www.translegalproject.org

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

And are sports clubs and leisure centres going to be suddenly employing data protection officers to ensure all this information is correctly protected under gdpr?

This reads like more evidence that the interim EHRC guidance was drawn up by Kishwer Falkner and cronies, without input from neutral expert staffers. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is going to be an absolute car crash, the Supreme Court verdict looks more absurd by the day www.thetimes.com/article/86fb...

Nobody is telling Labour to do what they are doing. It is all a choice.

BREAKING: Labour will formally recognise trans women as ‘men’ tomorrow. It means trans women will be banned from all women shortlists and all Labour women’s groups. Revolting. The party’s relationship with LGBT+ is over.

My latest: Forgot immigration and Brexit, here’s how intra-government battles over bins could make - or break - Starmer’s government.

A reader of Free Agents sent me this lovely poem by Jared Anderson... 😊

Tomorrow! 🏳️‍⚧️ Pass it on! 🏳️‍⚧️

This guide is great. I've used it many, many times since 2020. I also have handed out the physical pamphlets multiple times and plan to do so again. Highly recommended. It also is helpful because it reminds you that you aren't losing your shit for no reason, they really are fascists

Some GREAT good news for a change: The streets of Romania are erupting in celebration tonight. Nicusor Dan, Romania’s pro-EU candidate beats hard-right rival to win the presidential election. Many say he has done the impossible 53.92 vs 46.08%🥳 The world is rejecting Trumpism. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is the best graph I've seen in a while 📊

Tens of thousands of people in the Hague protesting the Dutch government’s failure to respond meaningfully to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Dressed in red to mark the ‘red line’ that has been crossed. (📸 ANP) nos.nl/l/2567762

I can play the dandelion 🌼

There’s been a predictably loud negative reaction to this research, which is largely explaining the laws of physics and “does not make recommendations about speed limit setting.” As an aside, 10mph = Centre Parcs’ speed limit. Having worked there for years can confirm it makes things calmer & safer

"A more direct measure to curtail unhelpful motivations is that funding...refuses to contribute to behaviours that are exploitable for profit...mandating preprints and data accessibility while refusing to contribute toward APCs"

"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss" "...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

A must read

Amazing day. Honestly, I've never seen anything like it in support of trans people in Belfast. They've crossed the rubicon. There were thousands!

I was at today's rally against the Supreme Court ruling where a group of trans women staged an impactful topless protest outside Holyrood 🚨 It was an incredibly powerful statement with some incredibly important images 🏳️‍⚧️

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry. The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale. Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs. 1/2
