I know there’s a cost of living crisis and all that, but I feel like the Brum gay nightlife scene has kind of disappeared over the last ten years.

The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

Had to disable comments on clip of me talking about Jason Arday yesterday on lbc because of sheer volume vile comments suggesting (just as they did with George Floyd) that he ‘deserved’ it. I think Black people are getting pretty sick of the ‘be perfect or expect us to kill you’ routine.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

JK Rowling uses her Harry Potter money to fund lawsuits against companies that support trans rights so no, I do not care what Hogwarts house you are in.
Trans lives are more important than Harry Potter.

The gaslighting in the UK is absurd. My kiddo has been fully included for years. This segregation has a start date, September 1st. It is a 180 of school policy, that they are being forced to follow by Government policy. Yet not one newspaper is mentioning this HUGE change to trans kids' lives.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

Really crazy to learn that JK Rowling once worked at Amnesty International as a bilingual researcher but she was fired because she was too busy writing books during work hours instead of documenting war crimes in French speaking Africa.
A screenshot of an article snippet featuring a photograph of J.K. Rowling credited to Twocoms / Shutterstock.com. Below the photo, a heading reads "J.K. Rowling" followed by "Net worth: $1 billion." Two paragraphs of text follow: "Before she was a best-selling author, 'Harry Potter' creator J.K. Rowling lost her job as a secretary for the London office of Amnesty International because she was caught writing creative stories on her computer while on the clock. She used her severance to begin Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Today, Rowling is a billionaire, thanks to the book series that has sold over 500 million copies and a blockbuster film franchise."

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Rarer serious post, but my best friend (and a trans baddie from Turkey) is at risk of being deported after having her asylum claim rejected by the Home Office (who told her Turkey is a safe place for trans women to live). She's lived here for 7 years after moving here for uni 1/3

I like it when someone who earns £250k a year tells us on the TV, their voice breaking, their eyes cast downwards, that they're struggling to get by. You're just shit with money then aren't you, silly cunt, drop down from the top tier of Netflix and stop going directly to Mexico for your avocados.

If you call Starmer "a decent man" you endorse: - trans folks being unable to go for a piss when they're out and about - getting rid of jury trials so that people who threw paint on a plane being used for war crimes are done for terrorism - arresting pensioners for saying the above is bad

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

French nuclear reactor stops operating as cooling water is too hot

Picture sourced from Reuters - The cooling towers of the Golfech nuclear plant

A nuclear power station near Toulouse in France has stopped generating electricity due to the extreme heat.

The operators of the Golfech nuclear plant decided to switch off a reactor because the plant is cooled by water from the nearby river Garonne which has become too warm - beyond the safe level of 28C.

It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out. An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken. But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?

Far too many people act like labour are just a passive lamb in all this, with no choice or agency in the decisions they have made. Labour with a perfect majority, chose to continye austerity and neoliberal economics, they chose to throw trans people and immigrants under the bus. They made a choice

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister. It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage. Others seem to be met with silence.

Absolutely WILD framing of the #defence spending issue from #BBCnews just now, setting the cost of it directly against welfare, and ONLY against welfare. What happened in 2020? 🧐 No discussion from the BBC.
Graph showing defence spending going from 4% in the 80s, through a peak of about 4.5% in about 1985, then dropping slowly to a current rate of just above 2%; while welfare started off just above 2% in the 80s, climbed, then dipped back to that in 1990, then climbed to nearly 4% in the late 90s, then bumbled along at about 2.8% until 2020 and then (what happened in 2020) went up to 4%
