Spent an amazing day up on the Ridgeway above Uffington today. Politically, this landscape shaped by neolithic famers, Bronze Age people, Celts and Anglo-Saxons who loved it and knew it and made it their own makes a mockery of those who seek to claim immigration is wrong. Immigration is human.

This is the world JK Rowling helped create. This is what Harry Potter is funding. All the legal challenges to enforce this regime are backed by Rowling and her Harry Potter money.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.

A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England." The post text reads: "Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet. His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets. In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet. He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets. I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now." The post has an orange "Comments Moderated" tag, 169 upvotes, and 134 comments.

I'm considering moving my git repos to #Codeberg (from GitHub). If you have open source projects on Codeberg, I'd be interested to learn from your experience. I host my own web sites, so it's only the core git stuff I need to worry about. 🙏

okay awesome! videos now no longer do the horrible dynamic audio adjustment, which should make music and other videos with dynamic ranges much more pleasant. I also fixed quiet videos getting boosted to oblivion enjoy this peaceful and quiet bird video!

Agree with this, we should have built more nuclear over the last couple of decades, but we shouldn’t start new decade+ long nuclear projects now - focus on developing storage so renewables can be relied on makes more sense to me.

Phil Sturgeon 🌳🚵⚓️@philsturgeon.com · 7mo ago

This is why the Green position is no new nuclear. Like trees, the best time to build a nuclear power plant was 20 years ago. Unlike trees, the second best time doesn’t seem to be now.
