Ok, so women and girls, cisgender or trans, have LOST:
Girl guiding, WI, sports, access to public toilets, access to gyms, safer education, access to social media, agency etc
What have cis men abusers lost?
Nothing.
What have rapists gained?
A bigger vulnerable victim pool.
Power.

if the Supreme Court agrees with the High Court that the proscription of Palestine Action is unlawful, I wonder if the government will maintain its line that it can’t change what the Supreme Court decides the law is

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Rifling through reactions to the #LordOfTheFlies series, and the (alas, expected) racism and related dumbfuckery about the 1950s English is infuriating. But I was not anticipating such a jaw-clenching slew of good ol’ fashioned bad takes as well? Goddamn

The criticisms of the new #LordOfTheFlies adaptation I saw prior to watching were ‘overuse of fisheye’, ‘good acting from bad script’, ‘looks too much like a nature doc’, and ‘insufficient air of menace’. Now I’ve seen episode one, I cannot stress enough the extent to which none of these are things

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords
yeah Bluesky is primarily a Tumblric language

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.
Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

When you next hear a billionaire screaming at you that trans people are a “danger to women and girls”, just remember who’s in the Epstein files.
Trans people: zero.

Millennials gonna Hide The Pain Harold right into (privately owned) retirement homes
Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035
Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035
Campaigners pushing for 2030 deadline said deferral was ‘denying renters the most basic standards in our homes’

UK politics live – latest updates
The government’s promise to make private rented homes fit for habitation will not be enforced for almost a decade, a decision described as “absurd” by campaigners.
The timeline means landlords will have until 2035 to implement a decent homes standard (DHS) in their properties, despite ministers promising to deliver “robust standards” to combat disrepair, damp and energy inefficiency. Continue reading...
