On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...
This idea only sounds insane until you think about it for a second. You adjust your alarm clock, then you get used to it. The only part I wouldn't personally like is that the date would change at a different time. It's less fun staying up until 00:00 on NYE if that is in mod afternoon.
no one wants to consider my insane pitch which is to eliminate timezones across the planet so we’re all on the exact same time and force everyone to change their conception of what a day is

There's this as well. The segregation regime, if you recall.
🚨BREAKING | Burnham has abandoned his support for trans rights in his latest u-turn, backing EHRC guidance and the 2025 Supreme Court ruling. At a campaign launch, he said: "The time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling and the guidance and implement it" (Via @Telegraph) x.com/LeftieStats/...

attempt with ChatGPT's (inept, though confident) assistance. Despite the work I'm now doing being largely (though not completely) a replication of the code in the book, its significantly more satisfying, and I actually feel like I'm coming out the end of each stage knowing more than I did before. 3/
Here's the book btw: craftinginterpreters.com It's really very good if you're a massive dork and want to write your own programming language. Bravo, Robert Nystrom! 4/4

A social media ban - like a drug ban - turns the focus to better enforcement of the ban, rather than any efforts to meaningfully improve the underlying issues at play.
One of the obvious problems with a under-16 social media ban is that it won't work. (60%+ of Australian under-16s are still using these platforms). But it will make people feel like something has been done so they won't tackle the content, which is the real issue.

The fact that this made it in is such a clear demonstration that the new code of practice was written specifically to target trans people... Oh, and just slipping in a hint at who might come next, hmm?
I lied, because “it is a stereotype that gender critical people are nasty bastards” is actually written into this code and sorry you can’t legislate to make people like you

There is no way to see this other than as an attempt to entirely keep us from public life. Because what trans woman would use men's toilets? It's quite often the case that there is no third option, our choices will be either break the law or put ourselves at risk of sexual violence.
‘Trans women must be barred from female toilets, changing facilities and sports teams, new official guidance is to state’ www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...
