I’m curious how many people fail to understand ‘I won’t reply again’ means I won’t reply again. We each have a choice to be in conversation with others. No one owes anyone else a response or their time. I don’t think it’s too flippant to say those demanding this are demonstrating male entitlement.

A “well-known individual” attempting to block two media outlets from publishing allegations about him has been accused of inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities with girls and young women, the high court has heard. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/oct...

“The individual, referred to in court as PPT, is seeking a permanent injunction against the Guardian and ITN to stop them publishing the allegations, which he denies. His legal team argued that publishing them would “highly likely lead him to commit suicide”.

“In written submissions to the court in London, the news outlets said the allegations involved more than 30 sources with first-hand accounts, as part of a “wide-ranging & rigorous investigation”. The applicant’s lawyer said his client had attempted suicide twice on being contacted by the newspapers

I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

I can barely express how much I admire these women - and it is *always* women - who waive their right to anonymity, in cases like this. If it were me, I'd want to hide away, forever, but they are made of sterner stuff. It may well turn out that Gisèle Pelicot started a desperately needed revolution.

What if we learned the wrong lesson from Thalidomide? Had a great time recording this episode of A Question of Science about the importance of biological sex in research...pls enjoy me coming up with a male alternative to "pre-pregnant" on the spot 😅 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

After a ship sank in the Strait of Hormuz, rumours that it was carrying valuable goods like iPhones began circulating. One video appears to show people collecting floating iPhone boxes. But it’s not real—it was made with AI. Here’s how we can tell 👇

Roland Smith: Has Free Speech Law Wobbled in Recent Years? > Got round to listening to this...thought it was very good (though usually avoid listening to KJK), appreciated the balance, seemed fair especially on overzealousness of police. Thanks @rolandmcs.bsky.social youtu.be/5ebXFRXiq60?...

How has Ireland, nuch smaller than the UK, coped with 450 million EU citizens *and* 65 million from the UK all having the right to live and work in Ireland?

The article explores how cocaine can intensify paranoia and jealousy, escalating existing abuse and making violence more frequent or severe. Experts caution that drug use does not, in itself, explain or excuse abusive behaviour. For women experiencing abuse, recognising what is happening and...

A @theguardian.com investigation has highlighted a concerning link between cocaine use and domestic abuse. Nearly six in 10 people tested after being arrested on suspicion of domestic abuse tested positive for cocaine, according to Home Office data covering July 2025 to June 2026. ⬇️

...We pretend that all the people passing for female really are. Other delusions may be challenged, but not a man's delusion that he is female. — Germaine Greer.

Nowadays we are all likely to meet people who think they are women, have women's names, and feminine clothes and lots of eyeshadow, who seem to us to be some kind of ghastly parody, though it isn't polite to say so. — Germaine Greer.

Britain First has been fined twice in five weeks by the Electoral Commission, bringing its latest penalties to £8,550. And, of course, Paul Golding’s hapless members will be asked to stump up again for his incompetence. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/10/anot...

Thanks to all who thoughtfully replied to this yesterday. Do keep replying, it’s for anyone who’s interested/involved in the govt’s aim to hugely slash crime in the next decade - by targeting the national emergency of violence against women and girls. I’ll add the link to govt plan in comments.

The people who will struggle are those who don’t have enough as it is or can‘t live independently. Not those posting on Bluesky about no cupboard room. And obviously those who truly committed to Japanese manufacturing principles in a close coupled and secure supply chain for their food shopping.

Aside from the bottled water, the nonsense about it being such a trial to have three days of food in just in case is getting to me. Is everyone else running their food shopping entirely on a just in time basis and only shopping for that day? Are your cupboards, fridges and freezers empty?🤷🏻‍♀️

This is very good from @barbararich.bsky.social bleakhouserevisited.substack.com/p/londons-br... - a bit niche on charity law and governance but worth a read inc thinking through implications of government being able to take charities’ money.

Thinking about the new UK govt target to reduce Violence Against Women and Girls by 50% within the next decade: what do you think are the best ways to achieve this? Interested to see all thoughtful ideas. (Remember, VWAG is 20% of all *reported* crime but studies show much more goes unreported.)
