preparing to give another Trans People & "Biological Sex" talk, so I though I'd re-up this – it's an in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

I think Israel will be the new 1980s South Africa for everyone except the hardcore support going forwards.
Anyone interested in Israel's nuclear capability should look up the story of Mordechai Vanunu
Jones says the govt is very uncomfortable about Iran having a nuclear capability "for obvious reason"
Now do Israel, which unlike Iran actually has a nuclear capability, unlike Iran refuses to sign the non-proliferation treaty, & unlike Iran refuses IAEA oversight & inspections
If I had to choose a single thought which haunts me most, it’s this. And it has animated me for years. This thing has been growing and metastasizing for almost a decade. And every passing year we’ve grown more hoarse trying to get someone to give a shit.
Our investigation in Byline Times exposes a network of global ultra-conservative groups using courts to target trans healthcare.

This is very clear. In about half a decade we will be in a competition for migrants and this era of policies will widely seen as self defeating as they are
Half a million strong. Together.
The biggest march against the far-right in British history.
Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll

Ah 1750 - the height of the Gin Craze and the huge moral panic around it. Fanny Hill was published in 1748, Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies launched in 1760. Thomas Coram's Foundling Hospital opened in the 1740s and was deluged with abandoned babies. Those were the days...
VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.
I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/

He’s accused of disgusting antisemitic bullying when he was at college and, if what he’s prepared to endorse for £76 is anything to go by, it seems not much has changed …. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...
Good thread
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏
This is the first time for ten years when I went to bed on the evening of an election and didn't wake up to the Worst Outcome, and I'm glad
The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

This is the 3rd Trump supporter that's tried to kill him.
what do you mean they didn't realize this before
Just listen to what Andrew’s nickname was amongst royal protection officers.
I’ve done some research into Bloomsbury and all those exquisite Georgian squares were resisted by earlier residents because they spoiled their view of Primrose Hill or some such. Barristers from Grays Inn got into a punchup with the builders to try to stop Red Lion Square being built in 1684
