Mutli-million dollar start-up suffers outage for over seven hours and those responsible carry on shitposting like it's all one big laugh... I'm beginning to wonder whether building on ATProto was really such a good idea @bsky.app

In an effort to pick up a little bit of the language, I've been watching Catalan TV with English subtitles. I started watching a thriller called La Fossa (The Pit), after the first episode I had got into it... Started the second episode, went to switch on subtitles, and no English 😳 Raging!

In my benevolent dictatorship, rolling news channels will be banned. Instead four news programmes of up to an hour each will be permitted per day. That should cut down on waste and the need to constantly fill time with superfluous information and helicopters filming trains arriving at stations.

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums. Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

I hate the news media in the English speaking world. The whole forth estate is inhabited by little more than feckless, lazy hacks who can barely string a sentence together without injecting pejorative language designed to upset people; all in hope they don't have to do any actual work.

I have written to the Prime Minister and Bridget Phillipson, calling for the cruel and confusing EHRC Code of Practice to be rejected. Legislative action must be taken to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.

Image is a letter. It reads: Dear Keir and Bridget, Reject the EHRC’s Code of Practice I am writing as Interim Women and Equalities lead of the Parliamentary Green Party to raise serious concerns over proposed guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is not fit for purpose and will harm trans people living in the UK. The Code of Practice for services, public functions, and associations is the culmination of years of well-funded campaigns to drive a minority group out of British public life. It sets out a system of segregation where trans people are excluded from services and spaces that reflect their gender, and in some cases also excluded from services and spaces that reflect their sex assigned at birth. Where unisex facilities exist, trans people will be forced into them. Where they do not exist, trans people will be left with nowhere to go. Your own Equalities Impact Assessment1 on the code admits there will be a significant impact on those with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment - from forcing trans people to out themselves by using disabled toilets to putting trans women at greater risk of sexual violence by making them use men’s services. The Code of Practice is both cruel and confusing. Inconsistencies between the Code of Practice and its Equalities Impact Assessment, the Gender Recognition Act and the European Convention on Human Rights will leave organisations and service providers at risk of litigation from all sides. Frontline staff in spaces like cafes, gyms, and offices will be forced to police gender, whilst the costs of creating self-contained gender neutral facilities are estimated by your advisors as reaching £600m, which the government is providing no funding to cover.2 I am pleased to see associations, like the Women’s Institute and Girlguiding, given a potential route to serving trans and cisgender women, but this does not counteract the pain caused by the majority of the guidance. Letter continued: By enacting this guidance, trans people will simply be scapegoated. Research by Translucent found there was just one complaint to English Unitary Authorities in 2025 concerning trans women’s use of single-sex spaces, such as toilets and changing rooms.3 By refusing to act, your government is once again playing politics with trans people’s lives, rather than tackling real problems, like the soaring cost of living, rising inequality and the ongoing climate crisis. Trans people of all ages and backgrounds exist in communities across the country - and always have. They have every right to thrive just as their cisgender friends, family members, and colleagues do. When Labour brought in the Gender Recognition Act in 2004 it promised trans people they could live their lives with peace, privacy, and dignity. Now you are breaking that promise. I believe there is a real risk of trans people being essentially segregated from public spaces. I urge you to withdraw the code and take legislative action to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.

To all those Labour MPs would would rather look out for their jobs in three years, instead of putting the nation first, a pox on all your houses. Now is not the time for a self-indulgent leadership contest; you're just as bad as the Tories. Odious narrow-minded little people. #Labour #KeirStarmer

It's never been easier to find answers to simple questions, especially tech questions like, "does this thing have that feature"? So I never quite understand it when folks ask others instead of hitting a search enginer or a chat bot... Like dude, let me just Google that for you 🤷‍♂️
