Never knew about Claxton & the design of Stevenage, love learning something new, especially when it's about building town & cities around people. Recommend listening to the podcast.

Was out tonight with some old school pals, had a great time. One of them was seeing me as Helen for the first time and all was of course ok. We all went to Portsmouth City Boys School & meet up from time to time. I've only had one drink & already getting in friends photos.😊

Me pointing to a street sign on a tall brick wall just to get in my friends photo... why he wanted the photo of a street sign is too long to explain. :)

Politicians are quick to talk about dealing with crime in poorer sections of society but the very worst of physical & monetary crimes in the UK are institutionalised & engrained into the very being of the top of society. Male dominated, immoral, corrupt and untouchable.

Yeah it was never just about us trans people.😞 This is a co-ordinated evangelical Christian attack on the LGBTQ+ community World wide... and of course women's rights. Religion will always make women vote like turkeys for Christmas.😭

I'd say we've actually done remarkably well considering it's all happened with hostile Governments & Media. That is due of course because China noticed pushing electrification would give their people work & a chance to become world leaders & the political power that comes with that.

If this doesn't result in him going to prison I'm fucking done with my country. Only Sunday I read the riot act to a few friends over this. the RNLI are there to aid anyone in trouble at sea, not just the people you like. If you stand with Black Shirts you are on the wrong side of history.

This man needs to be kept well away from the Presidency if America is ever to recover from the Maga years. He is already showing a King like attitude in putting protecting his power as Governor above what is right for the citizens he is supposed to represent.

I think this statement perfectly sums up everything that is wrong with western health care right now. Means testing help is not only cruel but it can put up a barrier to those who are weakest and need it the most.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Honestly, every day it becomes clearer that Ai is a toy for the right wing Tech Bro's to create a world that agrees with them and that they can control. This takes the whole ' I've got a black, gay or trans friend so can't be a bad person' trope to a whole new level.

Just like Labour the Democrats are almost guaranteed to win and yet they want to go shit on trans people because we're an easy target. Both could have run with a positive campaign but have chosen to show their worse side.

I'm only catching up with this days late due to thankfully not being on X, but it's actually got to this point - the last week multiple videos of trans women being harassed have gone viral, with huge support for the harassers, including prominent lawyers and GC commentators.

Off to the clubhouse again today. It is my moment of normality around friends I have known many years, some since school days... and yes that is me posing like a bell-end pretending it was me who tidied the clubhouse up. 😊 We owe ourselves some moments of happiness in life. Be kind to yourselves. x

Large model boats some sailing ships some warships line the tables on both sides of the room, aircraft models hanging from the roof beams.
At the end of the room is some twat (me) posing like I actually did did all the tidying up of the clubhouse myself. :)

Perfectly put. 😞 It also doesn't help that we haven't an actual left wing Labour since the 1970s. Same problem with the Democrats in America. Although they've never had a left wing Government.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

NHS backlog fuelled a private equity gold rush in UK healthcare. All part of Tory plan to hike waiting list, under investment and privatisation of healthcare. Profiteering means less available for frontline services. Higher taxes for lower public value. Ban private equity from all public services

Can they really stop trying to push Hydrogen. It's over 90% not green, created from using even more energy to convert it from fossil fuels, it burns hot and if you think the existing infrastructure leaks just wait for one with a tiny % of hydrogen in it. Gas in general is just a bad idea.

I looked up the Twitter account of the "gender critical" movement's shiny new detrans activist, Jonni S, and the first tweet I see is one where he says that Muslims don't like dogs because they protect women and children. Why are they always Right Wing ideologues?

Jonni S responding to a tweet that says "I suspect the reason why dogs are viewed negatively in Islam is because dogs naturally protect women and children" by tweeting "100%"

Carbon capture was always a scam by fossil fuel giants to avoid scaling back their business, for tech companies it was green window dressing to hide the truth of increased emission levels. Every penny not spent on renewables is a lost chance to change direction on climate change.

Sick to the stomach today after the news here in Pompey. Went to bed knowing there was blackshirts in my home city & worse joined by locals one of whom was family. I don't follow the local news very often so it came out of the blue last night. This country is getting less safe each year.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

One of the reasons tech barons want so much of the world to be online is definitely so that they can push the narrative that their point of view is not the niche self destructive one it is.
