Asda hires autistic man who was let go by Waitrose after years of volunteering Waitrose asked Tom Boyd not to return when he asked for a few hours of paid work after years as unpaid shelf stacker

I’m so glad to hear Tom has had a job offer from Asda after Waitrose behaved appallingly. But it shouldn’t take a national backlash for disabled people to be treated decently. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

🧵 One of the biggest myths in education since I started teaching in 2010 is this:

The knowledge-rich curriculum

The myth is that knowing more will improve the quality of children's lives.

It's built on the lie that knowledge = grades = good job = happiness.

It's a lie.

Down and out in the manosphere - with James Bloodworth The Matts are joined by author James Bloodworth whose new book Lost Boys is a brilliantly insightful exploration of misogyny and conspiracy rife within groups of young men today. James does what many ...

Wow, what a brilliant discussion of the modern Manosphere, how it preys on male insecurity and how men prey on men while blaming women.

Is the male loneliness epidemic in fact self inflicted?

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵

First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Amazing! From a C21st viewpoint, it’s tempting to assume that C19th sportswomen were all cowed victims of patriarchal fashion, with no choice but to exercise in long skirts & corsets. Nope! Sportswomen were ingenious at adapting & creating cutting-edge garments to balance their complex requirements

Kemi Badenoch calls for end to windfall tax on oil and gas companies The Conservative leader said the windfall tax on the oil and gas sector should end and new drilling licenses are needed.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch calls for end to windfall tax on oil/gas companies.

They have been making record profits, fuelling inflation & poverty.

Tory silence on tackling poverty, no remorse for two child benefit cap, austerity, privatisations, destroying the NHS and public services.

Mea culpa: my part in the rise of the trans cult The Gender Recognition Bill looked harmless enough. If only I'd known. . .

'I had no particularly strong feelings about the subject, mainly because I did not possess a time machine and was therefore unable to foresee the chaos and damage – particularly to women’s rights – that the genderists would inflict in the next 20 years or so.'

The moderation and block tools on here are so advanced , if you see someone you don’t want to see on here, just block them. Don’t attack them.

There used to be great give and take discussions on politics and news. Not so much any more.

Doesn’t have to be this way

The replies on here may not be as racist as Twitter, but they damn sure are hateful.
Talk AI: FU, AI sucks go away
Talk Business: Go away
Talk Healthcare: Crickets.

Engagement went from great convos on many topics, to agree with me or you are a nazi fascist

Leaked medical report ‘proves Imane Khelif is biological male’ Sex-test results published online which debunk IOC’s stance on controversial Olympic champion

Should not have played out on centre stage in global sport. Completely unethical for both female & DSD boxers. The IOC knew the test results. But permitted Khelif to punch women in the face on the world stage.
Early sex screen essential.
