Missing jigsaw piece: the (former) Nazi now runs a popular satirical website where Badenoch is treated as some sort of cross between Boudicca & Margaret Thatcher while Labour & even Reform are constantly mocked. So this whole sorry mess is just another symptom of her being terminally online.

The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

The government’s transphobic statutory guidance is now in force, telling organisations that provide services they can no longer be trans inclusive. This will have a devastating impact on the everyday lives of trans people. So we’re backing a legal challenge against it: https://goodlaw.social/pmbo
We’re supporting a legal challenge against the code of practice | Good Law Project
The government’s transphobic statutory guidance is now up and running – we’re fighting back

THREAD 🧵🧵🧵🧵 Two of the main lies in the Cass Review used to justify the puberty-blocker ban; 1. The lie that puberty-blockers have a long-term negative effect on bone density. 2. The lie that puberty-blockers have a negative effect on cognitive ability. Both have been shown to be false; 1/4

Slurms MacKenzie@slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · 24h agoEHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
I've told this story before and I suppose now it's time to do it again. When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher was the elderly sort of man who always wore a gray flannel suit and had a cigarette before class and a cigarette at the end of class every period.
Sarah@sosomanysarahs.bsky.social · yesterdayIt seems like assigned reading, especially summer reading, should include titles from different genres, with different tones, from different eras. (And as a former sulky Anne Rice-reading teen, I advocate for some over-the-top moodiness in the mix with realistic problem fiction and happier tales.)
Can I get a fuck the BBC for this awful definition: "a transwoman, a person born a biological male who identifies as a woman"
New guidance on single-sex spaces comes into force

How would I get by without AI? If I need a factually-dubious opinion expressed in a cliched manner with unearned confidence, I’ll just talk to a straight white cis man. I can get by on small-batch, locally-sourced, artisanal mansplaining, the way we always used to.

Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
I listed a cargo bike for sale at the beginning of the summer, thinking the timing would be right for people interested in warm weather adventures. Crickets, then 8 inbounds the past 2 weeks. Turns out everyone is shopping for new school commutes. Bikes are infrastructure.
