If The Times is celebrating your appointment as the Chair of a neutral regulator because you are on its side you can't lead a neutral regulator.

Regarding England's forthcoming match against Andorra today, weirdly the first thing that came into my head was an old song by @mitchbenn.bsky.social, written back when England played them back in 2007. mitchbenn.bandcamp.com/track/andorr... www.11v11.com/matches/ando...

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t sometimes just shut the fuck up.

Everyone’s focused on the dress but the hot pink sandals with striped socks are equally baffling 😂

Who needs AI when Hollywood will happily spend millions to find out what it would be like if George Orwell did Babe?

Labour overturned a 4,500 SNP majority in Hamilton and the BBC spun this as somehow a victory for Reform. The BBC News department is not fit for public service.

"period of correction" is straight up Newspeak.

The distance between Elon Musk being the richest person in the world and Elon Musk being in prison for an obvious Theranos-style scam that kills its victims is the distance between the world we live under and the world we have on paper

Which Americanist is going to use “We Cannot Build Bananas in America” as a title for their book? Because honestly that’d be the sort of title I’d be jealous of.

Last 9 hours for the Genre for Trans Rights charity auction. We had some IWTTO! merch in the first round of this. Hard to find a better partnership that "support our trans siblings" and "get books".

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

And if you think this is okay or not worth bothering about, try rereading the headline substituting "women" "Black people" "the disabled" "Muslims" or any other group of your choice for the words "trans people."

"No more harassment please!" to "No, more harassment please!" speedrun

Happy "far right falling out" day

My transphobic Labour MP : 'The Government doesnt have an anti trans agenda.' UKs transphobic Labour Government :

Liz Truss is heading to the White House with a chicken, lager and a fishing rod.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Wow, I put down the phone for a few hours and this happens. Unfortunately, JD Vance would not be an improvement. He’s Peter Thiel’s protégé, as you know…

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.

This morning I got my programme for this year’s @edfringe.bsky.social. My main reaction is fury, because in a festival full of creatives who jobs are at risk from tech, the programme contains this full-page advert for an AI company! Seriously, who approved of that?

1 year ago today….the funniest image ever was forged and burned into my memory…I close my eyes to sleep and still see this

Note: Now that the Pride flag is an official city government flag, many schools and cities across the US with Pride flag bans can now fly it. Many Pride flag bans have an exception for “city” or “government” flags. And those exceptions do not specify that they are your local government flag.

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Nice shirt!! 😂 Correct answer: d

Is it bad that the first thing I thought seeing this headline was: "Oh fuck, Nazi ghosts!"
