It's always a good time to share this.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

@theguardian.com Your new adverts on both sides are making it really difficult to read anything. They make the articles smaller and text is tiny!

An American interviewer asked me about my political beliefs. #VoteBinface

The World Cup without UEFA means no Mbappe, no Bellingham, no Haaland, no Olise, no Yamal It means no England, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium It means no Zidane, Tuchel, Klopp The World Cup this year without Europe would have just been Argentina & Egypt in the final 8 UEFA must hold firm

I’ve thought long and hard about commenting on the controversy over the cancellation of the Women’s Rights Network (WRN) event at Féile an Phobail — not because I don’t have an opinion, but because it is a debate that attracts the most toxic elements, writes Allison Morris 🖋️ tinyurl.com/bdhmtsju

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

@booksoftheyear.bsky.social I recently read Black Tag by little know author @simonmayo.bsky.social. What a great story with lots of twists. On another note I did notice the line about the children shouting under the bridge #RIPKit #Pooh

The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy? | George Monbiot

Just a wee reminder for anyone listening to politicians doing the ‘I condemn the violence but people have legitimate concerns’, shuffle, immigration in NI is 3.5% of the population. Most of them working in NHS, social care and other badly paid jobs.

Context for Belfast riots

Example of the sort of thing doing the rounds and being denied by authorities

What happened in Belfast was abhorrent. How politicians have responded to it has given a free pass to the very worst to wreak havoc on the city in the name of patriotism

Many women have been horrifically killed here in the past 5 years, including at least 7 who were stabbed multiple times, and their deaths did not receive statements from the PM, debates in the commons, or global news coverage. Nor were there any riots, or condemnations of cultures by politicians.

Move all UK conferences to Derry where it's illegal to enforce this shit due to the GFA

Every trans-supporting cis person in the UK needs to make peace with becoming more annoying, persistent, and pedantic than they ever thought possible. EHRC guidance is full of contradictions - they're relying on transphobic compliance out of fear. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM

Holy shit.

Make Hate Weird Again.

In Ireland its called ‘Whataboutery’ - when you condemn a violent act & the reply is ‘but what about…’ I am against Israeli violence in Gaza & the violence of Hamas and Hezbollah. I condemn the US attack on Iran & Irans aggression against their own. And I condemn anti semitic /islamaphobic violence

I am absolutely shite at recognising when someone is flirting with me. Like, comically bad at it. My mates would mock me about it. But something happened today that made me so happy. 1/?

A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim. #justsayin

All the worst cunts in the world - from journalism to politics, the Kermlin to the White House - are suffering tonight.

Great Britain threw away 5GW of wind power during Storm Dave & replaced it using gas 🔥 That's one and a half Sizewell C-sized nuclear power stations, or four Dogger Bank A-sized wind farms. Or to put it another way, it's a shit load of power. Why throw it away? Because our straw isn't big enough…

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

@cjharvey1.bsky.social Congratulations on your appointment!

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

🚨 You may have seen the news that N Ireland has pulled out of the puberty blocker trial due to a judicial review attempting to halt it. You may not have seen is that the lawsuit is funded by a global anti-abortion Christian Right group. My investigation: goodlawproject.org/from-russia-...

Disappointing to hear of the racist backlash Edwin Edogbo endured as he made his debut on the Irish team at the weekend for the Six Nations match.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I never knew that Shakespeare was believed to have written revisions to this play, like Tarantino punching up Crimson Tide

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

Awful to hold a five-year-old in custody. Glad he has been released

Let’s all watch Michelle Obama’s ‘Becoming’ on Netflix this weekend and make it number one. I for one intend to have it on a loop and make it most it watched 🙏🏻 SPREAD THE WORD?!
