This being BSky I expected the responses to be a sea of drivel, irrelevancies, and abuse
Equality and Human Rights Commission@equalityhumanright.bsky.social · 11h agoOur code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx
How is the EHRC responsible for a woman being mistaken for a man?
James Austin@jamesdaustin.bsky.social · 6h agoOnce again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.
This is, apparently, evidence that BSky isn't a left-wing bubble
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · yesterdayConservative views aren't being suppressed here, they are just A) not being boosted and B) incredibly unpopular because they are odious
I think supermathskid is joking here though?
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 22h agoAnother day, another viral hatefest. Unreal
and in numerous cases have been through things you cannot imagine forgive me if I have a low opinion of those who posture and play purity games and abuse or attack the service and those who staff it, support it, and use it.
Everyone: get rid of the lists Bluesky:
Bluesky@bsky.app · yesterdayUpdate: group chats can now host up to 100 members.
The replies to this are, as you would expect, an absolute fucking bin fire of hatred from single issue cranks convinced they're the good guys/girls/thems
Scott Wortley@scottwortley.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was preposterous that amnesty characterised a trauma informed service to support women who have been subject to sexual and domestic violence as anti rights. There was an impact on service users and this shows an impact on staff. No wonder those involved were and remain so angry
Apologies: I’m not online much, I haven't paid any attention to Rod Liddle for a long time, I didn't really know his extremes. I do now: I wouldn’t have posted if I'd known. I’ve seen death of difficult people up close (and its impact on others): that’s the only reason it was on my mind as an issue.
I wrote about the Trojan horse, and what we can learn from her mouth about different cultural attitudes towards deception and violence. As someone comments below, the phrase GIFT ARTICLE is pretty scary in this context.
Chris Suellentrop@suellentrop.bsky.social · yesterdayTurns out @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social knows a lot about ancient epics www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Bede's World! Bede's World! Party time! Venerable!
Starting to suspect that there's something a little off about this group of straightforward patriots
Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
Careless whispers: what really happened between George Michael and Lindsay Anderson? The Wham! movie producer reveals all

How did the pioneering director get involved – then fall out – with the 80s’ poppiest band? How are Sam Peckinpah and Michael Jackson’s Thriller involved? Prepare for a tale of ambition, deception and shuttlecock-stuffed shorts

A former neo-Nazi turning his back on that and speaking up on radicalisation could be a good thing! But maybe not a candidate for elected office. And the loudest complaints coming from Reform says a lot about Reform's cynical approach to racism
I don't know what this is but I approve
Matt Leys@mattleys.bsky.social · 3d agoStrong reaction gif potential with the Circassian folk dance
Just been reminded of Starfish Hitler. You’re very welcome
I feel very considerable professional sympathy for anyone advising in such circumstances because what the hell can you do? “But Streisand effect” - oh, you mean aggravated republication? Not sure you’re helping, there, folks.
These "apparently it's illegal to..." takes are so tedious. Whether it's fly a flag, clap, or pray in the street they're always a lie
Legal C@legalclaret.bsky.social · 3d agoIt is worth noting that Suella Braverman was the Attorney General, the government’s most senior legal advisor. One might have thought that, given her status, and regardless of politics, she should be competent at the law. But:
