Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

3 x 2020s bangers from the DRC, the Pop Leopards have no time for nostalgia

I just remember it so clearly as (a) it IS a great insight (b) it UPSET me how few times I had left to see my best mate in the states before we both snuff it and (c) HORRIFIED me that this had all been brought to me by the dark arts (and thus magnified my self loathing for working in them)

That 'Just a Number' website has the same insight that won a Cannes Lion for a Spanish booze brand in 2018

And it turns out 3” CD singles are one of the harder formats to digitise so ironically tracks from those can still be scarce

Also one thing that was coming to an end in ‘88 - albums being 40-45 mins to fit an LP or single cassette side, to gradually shifting to a default bloated 60 min CD standard

Which occasionally meant buying the Japanese blue 3” CD single but the format wasn’t the reason for me

Although I never understood people buying scarce formats only finding scarce tracks

But I also miss completism being hard! Like when I tried to find Prince b-sides I had to scour record shops to find out if print 7”s and now everything is everywhere

And it’s a gay man and his husband trying to shut down the city’s oldest gay club!

Sad to announce that my Park Run career is now over, thanks Rosie

Lambeth of course also being ground zero in the centrist fight back, home of Steve Reed and McSweeney

Which I think was a deliberate strategy to remove internal sources of dissent. Always stay on message

I think it got caught up in the Corbyn wars, they see their role in supporting the leadership v members rather than representing the members to leadership

I think they have the most to blame for the direction that’s been taken by the group

Oh really? Would that be in Lambeth?

Sadly this never made it onto the album as it’s the most fun

Just replied to your DM so the Pop Leopards lineup is with you now!

This reporting from BBC stokes division, racism and homophobia, and fails to engage with that reality faced by most LGBTQIA+ individuals. I will be making a formal complaint and hope many others will as well

Oh would love someone to ask him to explain how their conduct in any way lines up with catholic understanding of Just War theory

Well that’s not great for Taiwan is it?

I mean in the Czech Republic there is an actual Motorists Party that got 7% of the vote and now has the foreign, culture and environment ministers so depressingly it’s not the maddest idea

Hello @brunodent.bsky.social @joesmallman.bsky.social @anuprashar.bsky.social @emma-bean.bsky.social @kaneemerson.bsky.social @roulinkhondoker.bsky.social @miriammirwitch.bsky.social @kevinbrady.bsky.social @heathernstaff.bsky.social will we ever hear anything from the LGBT Labour committee again?

Georgia has talked before about being excluded by the resy of the committee from decisions and was standing to be co-chair last year before the elections.

Co-chair and secretary are both Lambeth councillors where I live. I’ve emailed both about the topic and had no reply.

Just looked at the internet archive and it hasn’t since 2023 at least

LGBT+ Labour has done the same nationally across the UK. It’s shut everything down, cancelled elections, no longer responds to emails from members
