I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

I've put a few Watercolour and biro pictures on Ebay, some have very exciting damage effects (caused by terrible masking fluid, but which I now consider A FEATURE!). Please consider giving them a nice home. They do not need toilet training.

Picked up a signed copy of Normally Weird & Weirdly Normal. Have been meaning to get it, now seems a good time to do what little I can to support someone who seems from all accounts to be a nice guy :)
Feels like a good time to support @robinince.bsky.social by buying one of his books for Christmas. 'Being Interested: Adventures in Scientific Curiosity' looks good, so I got that one, but he's done a few! www.waterstones.com/author/robin...

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Here's a chart of the marginal tax rate for someone with two kids. They pay 53% tax on every £ they earn between £60k and £80k. 62% on every £ they earn between £100k and £125k.
9% more if they've a student loan
This is from our tax calculator: buff.ly/CFoExUX

The EHRC's ‘interim guidance’ is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.
We’re in the High Court tomorrow to challenge it.

These Halloween masks available from Tesco are far too horrific. I can't believe they'd let kids buy these things.

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.

"Prime Minister who abandoned his voting base and pandered to a group who'd never have voted for him anyway has another brilliant idea.."
Starmer has bowed to the pressure from centrist think-tanks and the constant drumbeat on migration from Reform UK.
But digital ID will not stop irregular migration to the UK. And could be Starmer's most costly blunder yet.

https://goodlaw.social/sa9h
Starmer’s desperate rush for digital IDs is a recipe for repression
ID cards won’t reduce migration and will put trans rights at risk. But that’s not the biggest cost of Starmer’s half-baked scheme, says Cat MacLean.
