🚨Last night, Keir Starmer held a ‘Pride Reception’ at Downing Street.

So far, so normal.

However, trans activists in attendance reported that Starmer assured them that he is looking at a Motion which “disapproves” of the recent Code of Practice to preserve same-sex spaces.

Activists in attendance also had direct access to Ministers, in order to demand removing protections for medical professionals under the proposed conversion practices ban, insisting ‘trans history’ is taught in schools, and handing out Trans badges which were “proudly” warn by Ministers in attendance.

Labour cannot be trusted by anyone who cares about the safeguarding of women and children.

And the world would have cheered and flags would have been waved and glitter would be abundant. And all the things I love most about my life would have never come to be.

[Kelly Smith @K311yS]

This is so f'in disgusting. I've always known had I been born later, my tomboyness and discomfort around femininity would have been used to indoctrinate me and to harm me. I looked like this. I felt these feelings. Deeply. Oh to be a boy!

Oh to cut the hair. To wear a suit.

So isn’t this film, a form of conversion therapy aimed at tomboy girls in primary schools?

I still, even now, have discomfort with my body. Who doesn't? But I'm more at ease with the feminine. I can find places inside myself for all the feelings to fit. But lordy, if I had been born later? That Little Kelly would have been broken beyond repair. Mentally and physically.

I’m confident the WNBA suspensions are forthcoming.

Because if this league is serious about player safety, you cannot watch Caitlin Clark get abused on the floor like this and pretend nothing happened.

The standard is either consistent or it is not.

@johnm5454 @AmberLCox We traveled multiple times from MI to Indy to watch the Fever the last two years, and I'd love to go watch this year. But there's not a lot to watch and I just can't bring myself to get excited enough to drive four and a half hours for the displeasure of watching this fever team.

Age 11 - feel free to block puberty.

But whatever you do, don’t go on social media until you are 16.

We have lost our bloody minds. 🤯😵‍💫

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

If you want to summarise just how messed up the United Kingdom is in a single sentence:

The UK government believes that 11 year olds are too young to watch YouTube but old enough to block their puberty and render themselves infertile.

Noni Madueke wins the penalty before Harry Kane put England in front.

Declan Rice assisted from a corner to put England back in front.

Bukayo Saka comes off the bench and sets up Marcus Rashford to seal the win.

The Arsenal boys have done it for England.

It’s what they do. Easy. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I remember first visiting The US when I was 14, and we would go to Shoney's for the all you can eat breakfast buffet every morning. It seemed magical. As did pancakes. I knew even then that this was the country I would pledge fealty to.

[The People's Cube @ThePeoplesCube]

My first week in the United States, almost 30 years ago. I walked into an American Breakfast Diner for the first time.
“You can have steak for breakfast”
I exclaimed as I read the menu. Guess what I ordered?

5 minutes later I remember scolding the waitress
“I didn’t order more coffee” as she refilled my cup.
“There’s no extra charge” she said as she poured.

I left full of steak, eggs and gallon of coffee.

What a country. I had to pinch myself.

It's like believing you're in the greatest love story ever told. And then getting ghosted Monday morning.

Where do I put these feeeelings? What do I dooo?

[Kelly Smith @K311yS]

One of the saddest Fable stories is how I didn't use it the first day because busy. Crushed the next two days. Not just completing work, but opening the door to the next level up for Daisy. Did nay use yesterday because I was amping up for the weekend. I made notes. I had plans.

A short history of how we got here, because the chronology is the whole story.

January: the Pentagon demands unrestricted use of Claude for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. Anthropic says no.

February: the President orders every federal agency to drop Anthropic. The Defense Secretary bans Pentagon contractors from doing business with them. A rival announces its classified-network deal within hours.

March: the Pentagon designates an American company a "supply chain risk" under a statute written for foreign adversaries. A federal judge blocks it.

May: the Pentagon signs AI deals with seven companies. Anthropic is not one of them.

June 9: Anthropic releases Fable 5.

June 12: Commerce issues an export control directive over a jailbreak that, by the government's own account, was demonstrated verbally, came with no written explanation, and involves a capability you can get from other publicly available models today.

Two things are true at once.

First: Anthropic spent months marketing Mythos as too dangerous to release. Sam Altman said it was "incredible marketing to say we have built a bomb." The Commerce Department has now formally agreed it is a bomb. If you describe your product as a munition in every press release, eventually a government takes you at your word. They wrote the legal predicate themselves and called it a brand.

Second: we have run this experiment before. In the 90s the government classified encryption as a munition under ITAR. Activists defeated it by printing PGP's source code as a book, because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. A t-shirt with three lines of RSA Perl was legally a munition. The controls collapsed because math does not stop at customs.

The new wrinkle is the "deemed export" rule: showing controlled technology to a foreign national inside the US counts as exporting it abroad. Which is why Anthropic's own foreign-national employees are now locked out of the model they built. The munition is in the building and the people who made it are not allowed to look at it.

The jailbreak is the paperwork. The refusal was in January.
