PLEASE DO NOT ASK STAFF WHERE DRACULA’S GRAVE IS THERE ISN’T ONE.

Iconic sign from St Mary’s Church next to Whitby Abbey. I love that people think Bram Stoker’s Dracula was a real person/vampire who lived and died in Whitby.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the proscription of Palestine Action as “disproportionate and unnecessary”, warning it risks creating “a further chilling effect” on protest and dissent.

A full judicial review has now been granted and if successful, the ban will be overturned.

Good to know that the Online Safety Act might result in Wikipedia being blocked in the UK. Spectacular 10/10 law.

Dear U.K. Labour. The fact that VPNs can easily bypass large parts of the Online Safety Act is *not* a reason to ban VPNs. It’s a reason to rethink the Online Safety Act.

We did tell you. Many times.

Don’t throw good money after bad.

Seriously true.
Sure the harm of the day today is Porn.
But tomorrow it's proxies.
And the day after it's speaking out against Prime Minister Farage.

The online safety act needs to be repelled and reworked.
To put things into context for you, the closest group of internet laws that provide the powers the Online Safety Act provides Ofcom are the laws that create and empower Russia's Roskomnadzor. You are not going to like living in a country where the equivalent of Rozkom controls the internet.

I guess the UK establishment are pretty happy with this outcome, LGBT authors like @taliabhatt.itch.io having their page blocked due to the Online Safety Act.

This on top of @itch.io things from their platform due to pressure from payment providers.

Welcome to the UK in 2025, don’t forget your VPN

This online safety act is just a tool for increased political surveillance and censorship hiding behind the guise of a moral crusade. Issues of invasion of privacy, censorship, and surveillance aside…the bullshit verification methods don’t even work!!

New research finds that an exceptionally preserved pterosaur fossil from northeast China had a belly full of plants. The “once-in-a-hundred-years” discovery is the first of its kind, settling a longstanding debate among paleontologists.

You horrible heartless spineless b@stards,you're all no better than the murderous tories.

Persecuting disabled people to save a paltry amount as opposed to going after tax evaders.

They'll be blood on ALL your hands.Suicides of disabled people will increase massively.

Finally got the opportunity to read Chavs by @owenjones.bsky.social I was blown away by how accurate and poignant his analysis was and how relevant in remains to this day. Wish this could be made mandatory reading, particularly for every member of government!
