www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I can't really describe how evil and cruel this is. I can't really describe how this is one of the most awful policies I've ever heard, and how much it will hurt people. I don't even really have the words.

Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England says

New guidance says trans patients should be cared for on single-sex hospital wards or bays that align with their biological sex.

Kind of insane to say “my mum was sick but I was more concerned about the trans person in the ward” and that’s a real serious thing we aren’t supposed to say “that’s insane have you tried being normal” to. When my Mum had a stay in hospital this summer I was most concerned about her getting better

Doing the return part of this journey now. First train is a 1 stop hop before my cross country train back to Manchester. 10 minute connection, so of course my train is 11 minutes late. Manchester train is once an hour. I should learn to drive.

Currently, a diagram is making the rounds that is claimed to show a significant reduction in Russian disinformation bot activity after Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers. There is no evidence that this plot shows real data. I suspect that this image is AI-generated.

Anecdotally what seems to be happening is that the Home Office is refusing all student visa applications from certain countries. The Treasury should have told them to knock if off years ago but at this point the FCO needs to tell them to stop trying to cause an international incident.

Train is already delayed by 7 minutes as the physical train is 30 minutes late on its last journey. I’m not even on it yet. We are never breaking car dependency in this country outside of travelling to/from London.

A large group of co-ordinated, masked men blockading a piece of significant infrastructure is a security threat and should be dealt with as one. There should also be serious questions about why police/intelligence services didn't pick up on it in advance.

Bit excessive to send a national emergency warning over the wildfires. I know that 19 homes burnt yesterday but there are other avenues for communication. If the UK gov uses this mechanism, as horribly annoying as it is, for “minor” things then people will turn them off.

Some had been in Syria with the rebels, the very people Loomer and her ilk built careers demonizing.
