Dunt possesses such unearned, blithe confidence in himself, despite his tediously mediocre abilities, that it’s weirdly impressive.
Sonia Sodha@sonia-sodha.bsky.social · 2mo agoThankfully @akuareindorfkc.bsky.social is on the case with the legal ‘analysis’ of FWS and the Code of Practice published by Ian Dunt. It makes some very bad mistakes about the law, including this one. And its failure to acknowledge women have rights under the Equality Act & ECHR too (oops!)
Beautiful from @sarahditum.bsky.social. And a tougj read for her two subjects who are not only intellectually dishonest but generally very much intellectually inferior to both Sarah and JKR. But the first affliction will forever prevent them from recognising the latter. x.com/unherd/statu...

Worth, I hope, sharing the best ever Tipping Point answer again. (If you haven't seen it before, pause it at 35 seconds and try to guess who he's going to suggest. You will be wrong.)
Seen Wuthering Heights and well done everyone on great sets and outfits and cinematography but you missed out the pivotal scene that informs the entire novel so 🫥
You don’t have to like Sandie Peggie’s views to support her in claiming her legal rights. Amazed at how many people (pretend to) struggle with that. Great interview here Sandie Peggie: the nurse and the trans row that divided the UK www.thetimes.com/article/7c57...
Sandie Peggie: the nurse and the trans row that divided the UK
In 2023, Sandie Peggie worked in A&E in Fife. Then a confrontation with a trans doctor in the female changing room forced her into the single-sex spaces debate

A correction for the ages (from The Guardian's review of 'Melania'):
Just for context, murdering people in a terrorist attack is bad, regardless of their political views and affiliations.
Rachel is such an inspiring writer, hope this 🧵leads you to her substack:
Rachel Hewitt@rachelhewitt.bsky.social · 12mo agoThe increasingly online nature of porn, hook-ups & sex-buying have made it easier than ever before for men to cultivate secret lives. It’s occurred to me that these factors also make it easier for men’s secrets to be *discovered*. Often all it requires is access to their phones.

Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson has been confirmed as the next Chair of the EHRC. This is an excellent appointment. Dr Stephenson's significant experience and leadership in equality and human rights is *exactly* what the EHRC needs right now @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social www.gov.uk/government/n...

My most controversial music opinion is that Noel Gallagher is a weirdly underrated song-writer, subjected to a level of snobbery, suspicion and nit-picking that isn’t applied to most of the other great British song-writers.
When I was a kid I thought when you checked luggage in for a flight it went all the way to the destination on a conveyor belt
My sister thought bats were fictional until we pointed some out to her flying near her balcony. She was in her mid-twenties.
Didn't realise until about five years ago that the different colour of bell peppers was just about how long they'd been on the plant. So it's green for disgusting, yellow for disgusting and red for disgusting.
Nearly 9pm. Time for my 14 year old’s 7th meal of the day.
If you’re going to sign an open letter, try to ensure you at least have one sentence in it which is factually correct. And maybe a little more understanding of what the legal ruling corrected than a child might have.
This. The constant pressure to *prove* there’s a problem is cruelty itself.
A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

I find the trick to understanding that is to stop considering them as the intelligentsia.

ie: *Turner* is not calling Trump a feminist hero (hence why she describes all of the deeply terrible things he has done) – she's arguing that the women's sport issue has allowed Trump to claim such a mantle.
Series 3 and it being in German is the most comprehensible thing about it. (I don’t speak German)
Juliet O@jsoosty.bsky.social · 2y agoI know this might old news but Dark (in German, from 2019) is bloody brilliant. Tone and I gobbling up 3 episodes a night. Then thinking about it all day.
Do not drop spoilers when the thing is LITERALLY just finishing
PSA: If you start When Harry Met Sally (DVD) at exactly 10:30.34 pm on New Year's Eve, your midnight will be cinematically synced with 1989's #BallDrop. Happy #NewYears / #NewYearsEve! 🍾🥂
When Harry Met Sally is a Christmas movie and that’s got even less Xmas in it than Die Hard
