142 years ago today in 1884, John Coulter died after falling drunk down stairs at his friends house. After his death, it was discovered that he was a trans man. He'd worked in the Belfast docks for decades and had been married for 30 years, his wife only leaving him because of his alcohol problem.

In a city full of actual artists and boasting some amazing murals - this is an absurd decision
NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.
The planner says those upset about it are "keyboard warriors" who should "calm down"

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her.
This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.

Esther Ghey is rushing to put her name to a bill that would have cut her daughter off from the best community of friends she had.
Whilst doing very little to engage with the fight against the ideology behind her daughter's murder - transphobic hatred.
We can empathise with her grief and say that.

This video is part of my course. We all need to be aware of how to use critical thinking, more than ever. In this era of misinformation and hatred, a little bit more of critical thinking if essential.

Trump has just invited the following people to be on the Gaza Peace Board;
Ghengis Khan,
Adolf Hitler,
Vlad the Impaler,
Joe Stalin,
Pol Pot,
&
King Leopold II.
Unfortunately none of them were available so he has asked Vladimir Putin and Tony Blair instead.

Starmer either hasn't got a clue what is coming or he is happy for what is coming. In either situation he needs to resign.
An absolute mark. An unserious man unfit for this moment.
![Starmer says he does not think Trump seriously considering military action against Greenland
Q: [From the Telegraph’s Ben Riley-Smith] Do you think Trump is genuinely considering military action against Greenland?
“I don’t actually,” says Starmer.
He says he thinks this can be resolved by discussion.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:movr4wsu2du5xbmeragyr5cx/bafkreifr3ltn4j6l54dktejrxb5ofhjisxva6gdw34zpjwpcgntapd5kyu@jpeg)
