The other side of that coin is how incredibly easy it would be for Burnham to fix the most immediate problems we face. Minor amendments to the GRA and EA2010, rescinding the puberty blocker ban and the schools guidance; these are things he could do right now if he wanted to. He just doesn't want to.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions

In 1980, Intel introduced the 8087 floating-point coprocessor chip. Plugging this chip into your IBM PC made math 100 times faster, good for CAD and spreadsheets. I opened up the chip to reverse-engineer exactly how it does complicated calculations. Let's take a look inside...

The integrated circuit is a black ceramic rectangle with 40 metal pins sticking out, in two rows. (This is known as a DIP, a Dual Inline Package.) It has three rows of text: "D8087-1", a cryptic version label, and then the copyright line with a big lower-case I, INTEL m c 1980 1984. The m and c are in circles for the mask-work symbol and the copyright symbol. The chip has a small semicircular notch on the left side, indicating its orientation. The package consists of two thin ceramic layers, bonded together with a gray substance; the metal pins stick out from this gray substance. The ceramic package is important to me because tapping the gray layer with a chisel will cause the two layers to separate, revealing the silicon die inside. In contrast, most chips are in epoxy packages, which are very difficult to open, usually requiring strong acids.

THANK YOU TO ALL
OUR PARTNERS! Together, we've mailed 7 MILLION
BOOKS to children in the UK!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, United Kingdom
Our Book Gifting Programme
In December 2007, Dolly Parton travelled to London to announce that her Imagination Library was launching in the UK!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting programme devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. With help from our local partners, the first Imagination Library book was gifted in the UK in 2008 and we’ve grown every year since then, reaching more and more children each month.
The books are carefully selected, and full of variety. They include traditional stories and rhymes, books by beloved authors and illustrators, non-fiction content, and newly published titles.
How It Works
Each month we post a high quality, age appropriate book to children from birth to age five. The books are specially wrapped and addressed to the child, and are delivered at no cost to the family.
The Dollywood Foundation works with Local Partners who help bring the Imagination Library to communities across the UK.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

Why was Dolly able to do all these things? Because BMI (and ASCAP) protect songwriter’s rights and songwriters are paid royalties for everything. Dolly never sold her immense catalog of songs and it made her a 9-figure fortune.

Dolly Parton on trans rights. God I loved her.

When looking at the issue of anti-trans legislation, Parton said that “I try to get into the human element of it.” Pointing out that she has people in her life who identify as queer and trans, the 77-year-old star said it was important to hear what they’re saying.

“I know and love them all, and I do not judge. And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are,” she said. “I know how important this is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there’s something to be judged, that is God’s business. But we are all God’s children and how we are is who we are.”

We wondered on @cosmicshambles.com podcast whether Professor Katya Rubin knew how her interview was going to be used , well, surprise surprise (remember this was the documentary that Channel 4 boasted was “science led”)

Expert reaction to the TV show 'The Great ADHD
Myth?'
*NEW COMMENT* Prof Katya Rubia, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, said:
"My own contribution to this programme has been largely misrepresented as my comments were cherry-picked, truncated and presented out of context to make them fit into the programme's narrative that ADHD does not exist and there is no brain basis to the social construct.
The claim that ADHD is not a disorder of the brain
"It is true that with current technology (which might well change in the future) we cannot diagnose ADHD children based on a brain

diagnose ADHD children based on a brain scan and the diagnosis is based on behavioural questionnaires and observations that are subjective. However, this does not mean that there are no neurobiological correlates to ADHD. There are differences in genetic, neurochemical, even immunological features and there is consistent evidence from three decades of neuroimaging research including my own for differences in brain structure and function as well as connectivity between children with and without ADHD. It is true that they are small at a group level, and that some children have no brain differences based on normative modelling studies.
However, part of the reason the differences between ADHD and non-ADHD brains are small at group level is because there is a large heterogeneity, with some children showing large brain differences and other milder cases showing very small differences, so this will bring the average down. There is also substantial evidence for a delay in normal brain maturation in children with ADHD.
Crucially, we need to take into account that the youngest and most severe cases with ADHD have never been scanned and if someone behaves very differently from the norm their brain will also function differently.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
