The BBC uncritically platforms Sex Matters, misrepresents the Supreme Court ruling, and excludes trans voices entirely. This isn’t journalism, it’s bias. We've filed a complaint. The BBC must do better. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reading Toby Hadoke’s excellent book abt the Quatermass Experiment It’s hard not to be envious of the speed at which things moved during this era of broadcasting. 8 wks from initial idea to 1st episode TX For my 1st Radio 4 special it was 3 yrs between initial meeting & TX date- & that was 1x30min

The real worry here is that GCs will set up sites full of images of actual or supposed trans people and that violent vigilantes will use this as a hit list irrespective of whether people are actually trans or were photographed anywhere near a toilet.

Himes: "We've seen this movie before. Every conflict in the Middle East has its Tom Cottons who promise us mushroom clouds, and initially things look pretty good. 'Saddam Hussein is gone!'... then over time we start to learn what the cost is... the president has taken a massive, massive gamble here"

Being "gender critical" now seems to be understood by those who are as a kind of "get out of jail free" pass ... which, in a way, it always was - not wanting consequences for saying hateful things.

The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage and a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.

Help with filling out EHRC consultation document! This is brilliant as helps you write your own version rather than a template letter which it is strongly suspected will be rejected by EHRC AI filter. action.goodlawproject.org/ehrc

IMPORTANT I’ve heard EHRC consultation responses will likely be outsourced to a company that will use AI to read them. So, whilst using templates is convenient and less stressful, responses must be sufficiently individual to not be considered mass produced or copies, or they won’t be counted.

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people. Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

I spoke with the BBC about how disinformation spreads, especially in times of conflict and political division. When people are faced with binary choices, they're more likely to share content that aligns with their identity. And the more emotional or sensational it is, the faster it spreads.

Checking out one of this year's 50th anniversary 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' documentaries, I am again reminded of how far we've come, in spite of the struggles of this moment, and how a single piece of art, often made on a shoestring, can help to precipitate huge cultural change. 👄

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

As this clown car administration contemplates war, remember in many ways we’re flying blind. They’ve fired, RIF-ed, sidelined, harassed experienced federal workers at State, NSC, and elsewhere who were our eyes and ears, who knew the issues, and-don’t forget- worked for you. Do you feel safer?

Look, Britain is always going to support the US but this is an absolutely nonsense statement. Iran didn't leave the negotiation table. Israel launched an unprovoked attack which America has now joined.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
