Why does ‘protecting women’ never look like harsher punishments for rape, assault and femicide that almost exclusively happens at the hand of cis men? Why isn’t it free sanitary products? Why not more money into the NHS to help sick women? Why is it always an attack on our most vulnerable sisters?

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices, harming trans people – and the fairness of its ruling. I’m ashamed of what our law has become, says @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social 💬 goodlaw.social/83qa

The Battle of Cable Street was London's finest hour, but what's often overlooked is the fact that the communities who came together to hurl bricks and piss at the British Union of Fascists had very little in common besides being targets: Irish, Jewish, Roma, and others. Solidarity. That's the key.

I don't want women to be legally defined. Any definition will be used to oppress and control us.

Good fucking lord. Look at them. Posing with flowers like it's a beauty pageant, popping open the champagne and laughing because a whole group of human beings have fewer human rights than they did yesterday. Fix your hearts, you enabling fools. Fix your hearts or die.

One of my jobs is writing copy for DK Science books. Who explains everything from metallic bonding to the mating habits of eels in 35 words or less? Me, that’s who (at least, I’m one of the writers/consultants) Anyway, good news: one of the full-time editors recently confirmed: “Ai is banned at DK”

Can't believe this dingbat is back. He had a moment round about the turn of the century, dropped off for a bit, then got unearthed by Rogan. Also helped that he accidentally coughed half a Netflix executive out of his scrotum at some point. He's back now, and still full of shit.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

TFW your cat has learned to pose from a) a Medieval bestiary or b) one of those funny 17th century woodcuts depicting witches and their familiars.

Now THIS is useful. Diagnosing celiac is brutal. You have to eat wheat for about six weeks and feel very, very ill.

Do American news channels have a counter where they can watch the collapse of their currency in real time yet? We had one during the reign of the Lettuce, and it was not great. (Other recent on screen counters include government resignations during the fall of Johnson.)

I've just seen a man in a cafe be presented with two absolutely perfect domes of poached egg on two slices of bread. He then picked up a ramekin and poured beans all over them.
