What an appalling headline from @skynewsrss.bsky.social, which diminishes the crime and what actually happened in favour of undermining the seriousness of the new law.

@legalclaret - this is directly at you and not a passive aggressive sexist tweet like yours. I am not telling women how to feel, feel how you like. I am allowed my opinion. And my opinion is if you behave like the women that brought this case, you are a repugnant bigot.

The BBC News reporting of this is horrendous and the decision even more repugnant. No self respecting woman’s dignity is undermined by a trans woman using the same changing room as them at work. I wouldn’t want any of the nurses bringing this case to be treating me. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

I find it completely and utterly repugnant that anyone, even the Tories, would nominate Sharron Davies for a peerage?! You have to be fucking joking me. It literally makes me sick to my stomach that piece of work is being put in the the Lords to vote on legislation and make law for the rest of us.

Shall we get this straight, the BBC may have been in error to edit Trump’s Jan 6th speech, but I don’t believe for one iota that Trump’s intentions and actions were significantly misrepresented at all by the BBC in that Panorama documentary, and any suggestion to the contrary is patently risible.

This piece is slightly frustrating, because pretty much every pro-democracy organisation warned that the Online Safety Act did not do anything to tackle (non-sexual) AI deepfakes - - e.g. political disinformation / foreign interference campaigns - when it was going through. Those calls were ignored.

Has any company admitted to AI generated adverts so far? Because I think I’ve just seen what I think is an entirely AI generated TV advert for eToro on Comedy Central. Don’t know what’s worse, the AI or using it to convince the general public to blindly gamble their money on the financial markets.

Its a bit naff, and I don't think it should be allowed, for ITV, via Amazon Prime, to be using the England v Wales match to to get people signed up to ITVx Premium. Its free to air on ITV and you don't need to pay for it. Scammers.

Republicans control both chambers in the US Congress as well as the White House, not to mention the Supreme Court. The Washington Post’s attempts to blame Democrats for another Trump shutdown is not just a betrayal of truth and good journalism, but proof that the Republicans control them now too.

The reporting from some corners of the media of this harmful health misinformation being spewed by the Trump administration is disturbingly incompetent and outrageously irresponsible. The answer, btw, is no, the significant and trusted medical data tells us paracetamol doesn’t cause autism.

The BBC still thinks adding the “Israel has strongly denied allegations of genocide relating to the ongoing war in Gaza” defence is appropriate when they’re reporting a video of someone else, & they’ve turned their comments off to stop people pointing it out. Can you imagine it the other way around?
