Thanks Lloyds bank for doing the timing game.

My pension arrived at 0001Z, but you didn't credit it for 20 minutes allowing you to charge extra interest.

Because you're such a lovable bunch of rogues.

DO BETTER.

Far be it for me to encourage anyone to use a publicly available portal to raise a well-founded complaint.
5. The burden falls on these partner institutions to ensure the content is up to par, a spokesperson for ACCME told Erin in the Morning. (There is a confidential complaint form where anyone, regardless of their credentials, can raise concerns about CME content.)

accme.org/rules/compla...
Complaints - ACCME
The ACCME has a multitiered accreditation process for evaluating CME providers’ compliance with the ACCME’s requirements.

That could be unfortunate. For a number of innocent by-standers.
3. If a CME activity does not adhere to ACCME’s standards, then the host institution could see their accreditation revoked. In Genspect’s case, the primary accredited party appears to be the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS), which did not reply to requests for comment, nor did Genspect.

Yet another reason to hoof Schumer.

@katmabu.bsky.social
Did you know that Chuck Schumer and Patty Murray submitted a proposal that would prevent Congress from being made aware of what types of aid and weapons systems the U.S. is providing to Israel, hamstringing its ability to conduct oversight. They wanted to keep AIPAC donations to politicians SECRET!
AIPAC-Funded Dems Propose Keeping Congress in the Dark on Israel Aid
Murray and Schumer, the sponsors of the proposal, have both received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funding from AIPAC and other pro-Israel donors.

And you'd be right. Brianna was murdered by two deeply malevolent transphobic individuals. Not because she had a smart phone.
I feel really uncomfortable with Brianna Ghey’s name being used to push ill-conceived “phone free education” policy.

A blanket ban can’t be the answer.

So the Telegraph’s “BBC bias dossier” - supposedly written by ex-BBC adviser Michael Prescott - is being used to claim there’s a rogue LGBT+ unit “censoring” gender-critical voices inside the BBC.

Let’s look at what’s actually in it. Spoiler: it’s nothing but recycled transphobic talking points!

🧵
For reference - Here’s the Telegraph article with the Prescott memo complaining about the BBC published in FULL.

Obviously, it’s an archived link which circumvents their paywall - as there’s no way I’m gonna give that transphobic rag any clicks or coin! 😣

Prescott's claims that the BBC has a pro-trans bias are even flimsier than you might imagine. He thinks all positive stories about trans people represent bias unless some ghoul from Sex Matters is invited to say that they are awful actually. Crackpot green-ink stuff

Trump literally posted an AI mock up of him dumping faeces on his own population from a fighter plane while wearing a crown, but yeah, the BBC should definitely issue a statement of contrition begging forgiveness for splicing together two sentences from the same speech just before a coup attempt. 🙄

More accurate than you know.

She probably hopes to stiff one of her unfortunate husbands wikth the $360,000.00 fines/legal bills.
Kim Davis is so angry that the Supreme Court failed to uphold her deeply held religious belief that "marriage is sacred," she's threatening to get three MORE divorces.

Sadly its endemic in the UK. What is more alarming was the blatant hate speech literally in front of the police officers who did nothing to stop the anti trans bigots.

I don't have a vote, I'm a Plaid Cymru member, but give @aprilciate.bsky.social your attention.

She's a good egg.
The deadline for voting in the #LibDem internal elections is 2pm tomorrow. If you haven't voted already, and you want our party to live its queer-supportive values the @pluslibdems.bsky.social have a handy list of endorsements
Are you a 🔶 @libdems.org.uk member? If so, you get a vote in the party's internal elections, but it's a long ballot. Our recommendations on how to vote are here - some excellent candidates standing. 👇

"Oh gosh, wow, 8 rogue Dem senators, the exact number of votes Republicans needed to reopen the government, voted yes. I, Chuck Schumer have nothing to do with that" is such obvious BS.

Schumer absolutely signed off on those 8 Dems who voted yes. He needs to be kicked to the curb. Step down as leader ASAP.

What pisses me off more than anything is that Esther Ghey does not at all get, or speak for, the trans community. But she gets the microphone and what she does with it hurts her daughters community
Very convenient to be able to shove the transphobia that got this girl killed under the carpet and blame phones instead and be able to deny any criticism like that

Maybe Esther doesn’t think its insulting, but its rubbing salt in the wound to the whole trans community
