Hey, @goodlawproject.org. I think it's all over for Jason Arday. He's lost the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/education/ng...
Playbooks, plagiarism and a pig’s head: new claims surrounding a star Cambridge professor
Jason Arday was regarded as an academic superstar, but then questions about his work prompted scrutiny of his backstory and counterclaims of racism

Exciting invitation to appear on Would I Lie to you. Can’t wait to cross the swords with Ian Hislop
Senator Rand Paul has released a 1000+ more pages of the Slack discussions between (most) the "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" authors, Robert Garry, Kristian Anderson, Andrew Rambaut and Eddie Holmes. www.paul.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
Re @amnestyuk.bsky.social 'Many of the participants in this “anti-rights movement” are organisations dedicated to protecting and advancing women’s rights as a distinct sex class. As such, Amnesty appears to have concluded that feminism is an “anti-rights movement”.' www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...
Illiberal Amnesty thinks a woman’s place is at back of the queue
Branding groups such as the JK Rowling-backed Beira’s Place ‘anti-rights’ is sadly typical for an organisation that has strayed far from its original purpose

@bellingcat.com Some pretty serious allegations about Bellingcat's role in smearing women's right campaigners to aid trans extremists I've always admired them, but this is absolutely unacceptable Twitter link x.com/ForWomenScot... @forwomen.scot
Very revealing interview with your fellow "non -partisan organisation" Amnesty on UK "anti-rights" movement. Are you going to do a follow up on their July report they just deleted and ask them to walk us all through why they think a woman only rape crisis centre is "anti-rights"? @bellingcat.com
When you say 'suddenly' do you mean after an investigation found WellBN GP practice had been inappropriately prescribing blockers and cross-sex hormones to children as young as 13, and concluded that potential harm has been caused to 78 of them?
Good Law Project@goodlawproject.org · 2mo agoWe are dedicating funds to support at least 10 trans kids’ gender affirming care after the NHS suddenly dropped their treatment. If you'd like to help us support more trans children's access to healthcare 👇 https://bit.ly/4uXkUSG

Some of you may recall Michael Foran. An academic with expertise in Equality Law. He was forced to close his account here because of abuse against him. Now he is unable to lecture because of bullying. These tactics are used by those who are afraid to expose their own arguments. Intolerant people.
K.Flynnx (St.)@kflynny369.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe trans mob are still shutting down academic freedom. They are terrified of the truth.
OK so now listened to Pt 2 Dunt/Lynskey Rowling and it is worse than Pt 1. I swear down this section, where Lynskey snarks about Hannah Barnes and Hilary Cass having no experience in the field of "gender health care", provoking sniggering from Ian Dunt, perfectly sums up the whole show..but.. 1/n
Oh my GOD. The SC judgment mentions SANITARY FACILITIES. Also known as, guess what, TOILETS. That you still have this blind spot more than a year after the judgment is just incredible.
#OriginOfCovid Very limited revelations at the James Erdman CIA whistleblower testimony. Hope we get to see more in the in-camera testimony. This to Sen Hawley stood out: Basically the 2 big claims from the 5 page summary re no evidence of Wuhan research-related incident are lies
Very impressive. Lays out the huge extent of the trans capture at the BBC. Background on the Stonewall Nolan Report is particularly interesting, especially when it comes to how badly the provincial team were treated and then when it took off weasels tried to take credit. unherd.com/2026/05/insi...
H/T Peter Daly on X - New tribunal judgment loss for NHS England regarding women's spaces cites the Swift judgment against the Good Law Project. Thanks Jolyon! "For Women Scotland [and] Mr Justice Swift in R on the application of the Good Law Project...are binding on this Tribunal."
Link to the belated BMA review of the Cass Review H/T @hannahsbee.bsky.social from X, which ended up endorsing it in all important ways. Remember back in 2024 an activist cell in the BMA tried to get them to disavow Cass and prsent that as a fait accompli cdn.intelligencebank.com/eu/share/qMb...

Graham Linehan's conviction for damaging transgender activist's mobile phone overturned
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has had his conviction for damaging the mobile phone of a transgender activist overturned.

Graham Linehan appeal was successful! He was found Not Guilty of criminal damage of Sophia 'Tarquin' Brooks phone. "We therefore find Mr Linehan Not Guilty of criminal damage and the appeal against the conviction of Nov 2025 is therefore allowed."
Some vague posting from me here passing on this from @akuareindorfkc.bsky.social at the other place.
JK Rowling correcting the delusional Maugham. He appears to be now in fugue state. Where every set-back is seen only a justification of his righteousness with no pause taken to assess his behaviour. I think it's a fair observation that Jolyon Maugham is not coming back to reality anytime soon.
They had a particular stated model and they fucked up calculating its relative likelihood. They vaguely mentioned in that quote that other models might be possible but I can't say if they fucked up their calculations of them since they didn't publish any.
My point is that P2022 fucked up the math and refuses to correct it. I wasn't sure even whether I wanted to include the context (wrote a version without it) but the editor wanted it.
Your argument purely concerns the fuzzy context, not my correction to the big math error. I tried to be very low-key about the importance of reversing P2022 for the origins question- it was always over-hyped. But seriously wrong papers should be retracted.
