The problem with this article is that the media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing. The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him. The empathy is coming from social media.

Photoshops by people with poor photoshopping skills are more endearing - and environmentally friendly - than these AI images. This is absolutely no better at getting the technical details right (e.g. the faces of the 2) than a bad photoshopper.

Quite surprised that the BBC 10pm news is quoting disablist hate speech out loud; without a hate speech content warning first. But then we’re only disabled, we’re not full humans with thoughts and feelings

I fully support the introduction of tethered plastic bottle lids to reduce the amount of plastic bottle tops littered. But the current design of the lids is so bad, the tether is so short, that it’s almost impossible to get the lid back on if you don’t chug it in one. Yes I just got a shower of OJ

Living in a block of flats, I’m so scared that one of my neighbours might be charging one of these things in here. In the BBC article about this fire it says this: The government is aware it can ban these things; rather than just advising ppl not to buy them? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trying to imagine pitching this movie 50 years ago: “So this guy from apartheid goes to America and cons his way to collecting half a trillion dollars and buys a President with it. Then he starts to order Congress around from his computer which is actually a portable telephone.”

Anyone reading the Cass Review should be able to see it was political, with a set end point dictated in advance. It was criticised at the time by scientists for this. Every other country’s reviews on gender affirming care has found puberty blockers are safe. Cass’ report should be binned.

Gannett, owner of the Des Moines Register, won’t publicly commit to paying legal costs for Ann Seltzer, the pollster being sued by Trump. This is ominous, especially in light of the capitulation last week by Disney/ABC, which is vastly better resourced than Gannett. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/u...

There’s so many jaw drops in this article. He’s not been having cabinet meetings, he’s not even willing to be on the other end of the phone for his cabinet, his aides compile media briefings for him that leave out all criticism.

Yesterday, 37 Democratic Senators voted to pass the anti-trans NDAA. Those same Dems refused to allow Senator Baldwin to advance an amendment to remove anti-trans provisions from the bill. EITM has released an easy to read list of Senators who voted for it. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Pregnant people are more likely to die by homicide than due to obstetrical complications (we'll see how Dobbs affects these numbers..). Intimate partners with guns are the primary drivers here.

A person's gender doesn't belong to anyone else. It's only theirs. That's what it means for something to be an identity. It's not your-dentity or their-dentity or mom's-dentity. It's I-dentity. A parent has no more control over this than they have over any other individual's gender.

The Church of England and its tolerance for abusers is a disgrace. And these bishops who put the safety of children last, well behind their concern for the Church's reputation and fell feeling for their abusing colleagues, should absolutely not be in the House of Lords.
