Stop freaking out about the Tory amendments to the Data Use Bill. There's no way on earth the Labour party would take such controversial poison amendments to their bill now it's past third reading.

Hold up, the Greens have more seats than Reform? Despite getting zero coverage or help from the media?

Michael Sheen spent £100,000 of his own money to buy up £1,000,000 of poor people's debt - and wrote it all off. JKR spent £1 million of her own money to get Keir Starmer to publicly say trans women are not women.

'1926 Gladys Ingle of Hollywood’s infamous ‘13 Black Cats’ stunt team. Gladys would perform wing walks, midair archery and her party piece, changing planes wing to wing in midair without any safety measures. She lived to the age of 82 and died in 1981.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys_...

"I'm open minded." "Any evidence?" None found.

The premise of all the concern over pediatric transgender medicine is that it's being given too quickly to too many children, and I continue to find it odd that every scrap of evidence I can find suggests that this isn't happening and never was.

Falkner might think it's "unacceptable" to criticise the EHRC, but the UN didn't agree in 2023. In fact they said the "action of the EHRC is wholly unbecoming of an institution created to "stand up for those in need of protection and hold governments to account for their human rights obligations”"

Political parties after election results make it clear their pivot to right isn't working

METAPHYSICS BASED MEDICINE.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

British cis woman claims to have been banned from the women's toilet at work and says she's refusing to "provide evidence" that she's cis (what evidence could one even provide?!) If anyone can contact this woman I'd love to talk to her (can keep anon)

Hey, Labour! Statistically there would’ve been about 200 trans voters in this by-election. Whoopsie!

‘It is unacceptable to question the integrity of the judiciary’ doesn’t really work when the Supreme Court has put its own integrity into question by refusing to hear from trans people, and fully adopting the view of anti-trans hate groups.

Reminds me of a famous Russian joke. "Why do the police travel in groups of three? One to read, one to write, and one to watch over the dangerous intellectuals." Being able to write this well makes you an irreplaceable asset on the Right in the US these days. Yes, even *that* well.

The law of … … unintended consequences.

If like three years ago the pundit class and democratic politicians had held to this line we wouldn't be where we are today "I don't know what the big deal is."

www.thejournal.ie/investigates... Many trans people have been talking about moving to Ireland, this is very useful

Lee's not exaggerating. 250 historians of/in the UK just signed this letter that *specifically* excoriates the Labour Party for enacting this anti-trans bigotry. Historians don't fuck around when it comes to condemning monsters, nor the cowards who stood by and let it happen. tinyurl.com/879vuver

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Going to start a campaign against eye glasses. Biological vision or nothing! Yes, I know I wear glasses and will be harmed by my own campaign but that is a small price to pay in the fight for reality.

Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a women's restroom to abuse women and children. Often, they just join a church.

There's not a single crime in the history of the UK that would have been prevented by a bathroom bill. Not one Bathroom bills aren't about safety, they're about trying to exclude LGBT people from public life. That's it

The president is playing videos at his political rallies of people getting their heads shaved at what is effectively a concentration camp. He’s sending people to that camp with no due process, and 9 in 10 have no criminal record. The rallies are eating it up. Forget “can.” It is happening here.

I keep catching strays from "technology is neutral" people, so let's set things straight. 1) Technology is not neutral, especially the subset of technology called "algorithms" 2) The form-factor that makes a technology into a tool is not neutral 3) How tools are productized is not neutral [rant]

Spain and Portugal are at a standstill The blackouts seem to have been caused by extreme temperature variations Fun fact - extreme temperature variations are caused by climate change

Hey, disability studies people. We need to talk about this: www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/28/n... - because we know where it's come from, right? You know that research behind this has come from people in our field, right?

If I could name one consistent feature of people who end up having miserly, paranoid, counterproductive politics, it would be this—the attitude that care should flow TOWARD you but not FROM you.

The British Medical Association Resident Doctors are the backbone of the NHS, they look after us all in hospital. They passed this motion at their conference which pulls the “supreme” court judgement to pieces. They call it “scientifically illiterate” and “biologically nonsensical” 1/3

Lessons for Starmer/Labour from Canada; You can win if... - You are not transphobic - You do not try and brownnose to Trump - You are pro EU

Voters leaving Labour for the Greens could cost Starmer twice as many seats as those switching to Reform. Why is the narrative then that Reform are the big electoral threat to Labour? Why are far right bigots being given so much media and policy attention as if their views are somehow worthwhile?

For people wondering why the UK's Equality And Human Rights Commission is acting counter to human rights, I'll c+p a combination of threads from a couple of years ago. They cover the systemic attack on many marginalised communities by idealogues trying to dismantle human rights law. 1/

This Autism Acceptance Month, I demand that you accept that sometimes people's needs look different than you might expect and that you are the asshole if you make a big deal out of it

Summary of Event Horizon (film): E is equal to MC scared

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

The EHRC was captured by transphobes under the Tories and Labour could have appointed a new head but they did not, because they are also transphobic. Bigoted shits, the lot of them.

How on earth do you go about explaining to people that your life will not get better or even change at all in any tangible way because of what the Supreme Court and EHRC have said, but my life and those of many of my pals will get worse?
