Whilst I have no ability to write these, I would love to read them, hopefully in paper format

I have no idea what's happened or why *another* queer person has been removed from candidacy when cishets complain but I hope you and Guy are ok

Just had a horrific realisation. It'll only be around 5 years till milenials are getting blamed for ruining Saga 😮

I don't mind a huge amount tbh, I just don't want any Americans (or other nationalities) to think they can get away with transphobia because they aren't British

If only someone could have predicted this. Oh wait, we did

I'd claim that I hate to say 'I told you so' but that would be a lie. I fucking love to say it so...

I fucking told you so

I have a question, which should I choose? Linux Mint or Zorin OS?

it's definitely worth a go. Mainly because trebuchets are cool.

This will effectively mean that the company will continue in name only and, as a consequence of everyone going, the beer will probably go downhill quickly. If you like their beers, its probably time to stockup as they will never be the same again

More than 100 jobs go as brewer Innis & Gunn is bought by Tennent's owner Innis & Gunn's bars and breweries will close after the company was sold to the C&C Group in a £4.5m deal.

Innis and Gunn has been 'rescued' by Tennants - however all current staff are being made redudant, both from their pubs and brewery. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The likes of proton are very unlikely to comply with demands to breach the privacy of their users

It's probably time for us all, if we haven't already done it, to begin setting up anonymous accounts on services external to the Anglophone world to allow us to remain in contact with each other if, as seems increasingly likely, the worst continues to happen. Regardless of what US lawmakers may wish

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I wonder what the combined membership of GPEW, SGP and GPNI are. That's the figure to compare to the membership figure of the UK-wide parties

and its only 1st March! At this rate he's going to get to 42 countries by the end of December

given your seeming ability to unwittingly predict the future - please stop 🤣

And I'd be seconding it!

Keir Starmer sounded absolutely furious, almost spitting with rage, when talking about Green policy in PMQs today.

In a way I've never heard him talk about Reform's open racial hatred. Hatred he himself stoked by calling immigrants "strangers".

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

If you read one thing today this is a tonic to the onslaught.

wait, you can do that position in real life? You're more flexible and have better core strength than me!

What's a good, non big-tech, place to buy (yes buy, I want to be able to actually own it) audio books? Most places I seem to be big tech platforms like audible or google play. Also, what's your favourite audio book app with the same caveats? I use Android but plan on moving to e/OS

Zack Polanski on how Keir Starmer could have changed the April 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling to protect trans rights (EXCLUSIVE) Zack Polanski revealed how Keir Starmer could have acted to protect trans rights after April 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people.

They’re failing to do that.

Trans people deserve safety and dignity.

HMRC have received reports of over 4,800 Self Assessment scams since February with more than 135,500 suspected scam reports made in the past 10 months.

Scammers often mimic HMRC by sending fake tax demands or offering spurious tax refunds - all designed to steal personal information.

Hard to move away from the idea that the UK government would prefer trans people to just kill themselves so they don't have to pay for a trial and jail for murderers.

There are a lot of gay men and lesbians who have participated in and cheerled the effort to target trans people. Most of them think their wealth and privilege will protect them. It won't. Just ask Ernst Rohm.

Your Sunday morning long read ⬇️

If you’re not trans and you think trans people protest too much…

I’m the mother of Alice a trans woman who died by suicide…

this stuff matters…mainstream media isn’t reporting it because they’re complicit in it…

Here’s why trans people and allies alike protest…

At first I only saw the top pic and I was wondering what you were referring to. Then I scrolled down 😱

Is there going to be any option to get a paper copy? I don't use ebooks

It is truly horrible looking for work at the moment

So what see is that if you don't

1) write the code yourself and
2) don't have errors or bugs

You get marked higher for the longer code you produce. What could possibly go wrong?

For comparison, contracts tend to be so longwinded and verbose because historically lawyers were paid by the word
