This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

Cambridge University should have known better, Fleet Street should have known better, the people hungrily absorbing every bit of news about it, making newsrooms feel like they had to keep going with it as a story, should have known better, horrible horrible horrible

There is strong circumstantial but no direct evidence that the rush on Ceuta was orchestrated by the US and Israel

Japp vi vet, och du har verkligen bidragit till det. Du har vänt fallande utsläpp till ökade. Du har subventionerat fossila bränslen, bromsat elektrifieringen, lagt ner miljödepartementet, stoppat vindkraften, slaktat miljöbudgeten och ljugit och gaslightat oss i fyra år. Nu är det nog.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Most people in this country are probably happy to see the back of Keir Starmer.. people on the left are looking at Andy Burnham & going, this looks a lot like Keir Starmer with a different face"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Renewable energy, it is the cheapest, greenest form of energy & what we need to be doing is investing in that.. thats common sense thinking & the fact we've got Andy Burnham saying he's still got an open mind on oil and gas is deeply depressing"

We all need to help @andyburnham.bsky.social ‘s team understand that new oil and gas is not popular and not safe, before they put our grandchildren’s lives at risk by approving Rosebank and other projects. Wake up Burnham, the electorate doesn’t want this!!

Stop Rosebank@stopcambo.bsky.social · 2mo ago

BREAKING 🚨: reports suggest Andy Burnham could approve new oil and gas fields, including Rosebank. Is he REALLY going to cave into the demands of the profiteering oil giants and Trump? Or is he going to stand with people facing soaring bills and a worsening climate crisis?

In our Viewpoint (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...) we synthesize the gametic definition (outlined by Janicke et al below) and other definitions of sex (e.g., multivariate definition). We contend that is NO consensus on “biological sex” (maybe a consensus isn’t actually necessary…)

There is No Consensus on Biological Sex

Ju mer jag tänker på det desto märkligare är Christer Mattssons utspel i DN häromveckan om antirasisternas antisemitism. Han gjorde det innan två rapporter släpptes, Forum för levande historia och hans egna Segerstedtinstitutets. Att trots resultaten skulle ändå antirasister/vänstern ges skulden.

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.
