Britain doesn’t need billionaires posing as champions of the working class while hijacking our democracy for their own interests.

Pink News not escaping the homophobia allegations putting Series 10 last(!)

no matter what happens, may this election be the death nail in the self-congratulatory “gen z will change the world” shit. gen z white men vote like every other generation of white men, and in some cases are further to the right

You know how if a car alarm going off in the night stops temporarily, teasing you with a few minutes of peace and quiet, giving you the false hope that it’s stopped for good to let you get some sleep, only to start up again, it’s so much worse?

I'm not often compelled to speak out about things like this - but are companies like Google and OpenAI aware of the serious, permanent damage they've done?

Not just to this - an admin can change this. But to *images on the internet as a whole*.

You see Google Images lately?

What a disgrace @wesstreeting is

[India Willoughby @IndiaWilloughby]

Here’s the facts under @UKLabour @wesstreeting if you are trans. This isn’t melodrama - how it now actually is in the UK:
⭐️If you go to the NHS and tell them you are trans, you will be directed to mental health (even though being trans is not ‘mental health’). You’ll then have ‘therapy’ to see if you can be happy other ways.
⭐️The NHS will prevent you from accessing meds to transition, and will insist on you going through the puberty you don’t want, to see if you like being the sex you do not identify with. You might turn into a hot-blooded gay man or lesbian woman - even though both are unconnected to trans. After all, there’s “no harm done”.
⭐️If you dare to go down the private route, the NHS will uniquely withdraw all future care
⭐️If you are a parent helping your child take the private route, the NHS will report you to social services
⭐️If you obtain harmless puberty blockers from abroad - available in all EU countries - you will be prosecuted.
⭐️If you insist you are still trans at 18, you will be directed to another part of the NHS for more ‘exploratory therapy.’ You will not be able to join the lengthy list (decades) to transition until you are 25 - because unlike c i s people, this is when trans brains mature 🤪
⭐️It will be impossible to undo all the “no harm done” changes the NHS insisted you go through, and they will offer no means to rectify them.
⭐️You will find it harder to slip seamlessly into society.
⭐️The NHS and Wes will insist “no harm was done.”

@_cosmicangst honestly, David Tennant and Matt Smith are still pretty huge. And if you're not considering doctors, only side characters: Ian McKellen is hard to beat.

imane's case could literally change how hate speech is policed online. the amount of women she's empowering here cannot be overstated. never been prouder of a stranger and if she needs a full list for her lawsuit, tell her the streets have kept receipts.

[Scot @scotwithat]

After all the transphobia, witch-hunting, and the despicable and unsportsmanlike disrespect shown by a handful of athletes - let THIS image be the one that stays with you:

After Imane Khelif won her gold medal bout her opponent, Yang Liu of China, embraced her with a smile.
