Pub quiz last night - which single word US state has the highest score in scrabble. we put Pennsylvania. host said Kentucky. if you add up the letters in Kentucky you get more points, but there is only one K in a scrabble set. so you'd need to use a blank tile which wouldn't score. a disgrace.

Not to go all "Big Burnham" but the GMCA fund is actually spectacular. Started in 2015 with £300mn in assets it's now worth c.£1.2bn having been recycled over and over through short and medium term loans that basically mean Manchester is on pace to actually meet its housing targets.

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

the 'a wizard did it' theory of transphobia. courts are subordinate to the government. the supreme court massively changed interpretation of the law which has materially made trans people's lives in the UK much worse. the government have allowed this to happen, but pretend it isn't their fault.

There is no plausible explanation for this other than the obvious. But to the NYT, "they're complaining on Bluesky again" is not a challenge, it's affirmation. It's the model working.

interesting that anti trans activism has become a safe niche within the broader fascist movement for cis women. they are excluded from leadership positions, they know their place. but anti queer activism is outsourced to them.

Nothing new from Orr, who has constantly touted pro-Kremlin/US far-right lines about Ukraine for years. The fact such a position is now quasi-official policy for Reform is such an obvious and easy attack line for Labour, but importantly *should* be for the Tories if Badenoch gave a damn herself

This is the step many miss in this debate. It doesn't have to be no-free-speech vs anything-goes. There are many activities that we regulate more strictly when commercial. Rules are mostly different between doing-X and doing-X-for-money. Remove financial incentives and grifters will soon peel away.

A lot of people don’t seem to understand that “the cordon sanitaire against racism is rebuilt” means, e.g. “once again this stuff is said by the *Conservative leader*” let alone “a politician on the Labour right they dislike”.
