Trans π phobic π groups π test π ran π this π tactic. Well done for capitulating to them, over and over.

The BBC are a disgusting organisation. Their campaign against trans people is active and it is relentless.
Bethany wore a βProtect The Dollsβ t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has a super-majority of support from the British public! π₯³π
This is an extraordinary way of saying that 2 in 3 Brits think @zackpolanski.bsky.social SHOULDN'T resign! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
If you decided you had to pick between punching a baby or punching two babies, which would you choose? I'd just punch one baby myself, because of what a good person I am. Everyone tell me what a good person I am while I punch this baby.
So here's a question. You can have a PM who prioritises EITHER Rejoining the EU OR Eradicating ONE of a) transphobia, b) racism, c) ableism What will you go for?
Incredibly hilarious that the Government has had to separate out Palestine Action arrests into their own category because even they can see how damaging it is to bundle these figures in with actual terrorism related arrests. The Labour party's legacy is an embarrassing joke.
andy burnham and @lucympowell.bsky.social are responsible for a 1,553% increase in terrorist activity in the uk. shameful shit. vote green.
British politics in a nutshell.
It really is insane that selling weapons to a country using them to bomb children and commit genocide is not a red line but having a policy that states that it is racist to want a country that treats citizens differently based on their ethnicity/religion IS the red line.

The two state solution has always been absurd. You don't solve one ethnostate by creating a second ethnostate. Particularly when both have religious ties and desires to be in that land. It is a fantasy and it is morally bankrupt. Solving racism with racism. States should not be ethno-. Simple as.

"If those change in the future - such as a successful challenge at the ECHR - then the Court will consider whether the relevant part of the exhibition should be updated." Casually acknowledging that the case is *not settled* but still saying "nuh uh we're still gonna crow about it" is wild.
The Supreme Court has responded to the complaint we have raised alongside @translucent.org.uk and @transparentaction.bsky.social and, as expected, they have failed to address the concerns we have raised...
Ah yes, those famously anti-Semitic Jewish human rights barristers. (/sarcasm). When will @andyburnham.bsky.social see what a farce the @labouruk.bsky.social has become and reverse this?
BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnhamβs Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.
So gross that @labouruk.bsky.social are planning to authorise drilling after the election. They know the electorate don't want it. They know it's wrong. They know it won't lower our bills. But they'll to do it anyway. Because we don't matter to them. Profits do. Vote Green π
Labour are planning to extract more oil and gas from the North Sea despite the thousands of deaths from excess heat this summer. We cannot allow them to win in Holborn & St Pancras and think that they can get away with this. Vote Green. For our communities and our planet.
Damn, sure wish trans people had warned everyone that the same rhetoric used to attack trans people would be reused to attack other people too. Transphobia. Misogyny. Racism. Classism. Ableism. Homophobia. Islamophobia. Anti-Semitism. It's all the same thing and they all follow the same playbook.
Here's Janice to tell you that something else she doesn't understand therefore isn't real and blah-blah-blah lost generation. Bored of trans, the queen of reactionary toss dressed up as concern is now on to ADHD.

the uk has shown were backing off trans rights takes you & it's horrific my latest for new republic newrepublic.com/article/2155...
Here's hoping there's a media frenzy about this one too.
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

We're super excited to be exhibiting at @cambridgetechweek.bsky.social 2026! We have a stall in Innovation Alley - we'll be there all day on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th so please come and say hi. We'd love to talk your ear off about making Kubernetes work for for you!
This is the most transparent, unarguable proof that @supremecourt.uk are not impartial any more - they are actively and gleefully against human rights. I'm no longer going to have much patience for people who continue to claim otherwise.
@supremecourt.uk Showing their bias on permanent public display. We are watching and keeping the receipts. This crusade will end. We will ensure all involved are held accountable. supremecourt.uk/news/new-exh...

So GBR is a huge grift then, and the main part of a train network isn't going public at all. Great that Kate is calling this out but damn, this is a classic Labour bait & switch. Why she remains in a party that is clearly fundamentally opposed to all of her principles & views is beyond me.
With Great British Railways, Labour is bringing passenger services into public ownership. But the rolling stock itself will remain in private hands. I support ASLEF campaign to own our trains and have a truly public railway
Thank every deity we still have some politicians who see this as the insensitive evil that it is, and are willing to call out it.
So much for the βyou are loved and wantedβ campaign. Itβs not even a decision made by the Mayor of London. π€·ββοΈ When trans and non binary Londoners and visitors are absorbing the shocking impact of the EHRC Code, the tone of this feels really insensitive.
Really refreshing to see so many councils and green groups standing up against the EHRC's immoral and unworkable slop guidance. Thanks π
As the new EHRC guidance has come into effect, we reaffirm our opposition to the inhumane segregation and exclusion of transgender people. This is not a win for women's rights, it asks for the policing of women's appearances from service providers. We believe kindness and safety for all. π³οΈββ§οΈ
Fantastic thread detailing why the UK bidding for World Pride in 2032 is a bad thing. π§΅π
I'm not going to engage with sealioning. Let's get back to the matter at hand with a little history lesson: World Pride is a periodic/semi-annual event organized by Texas-based non-profit InterPride. Since 2000, it has been held in 10 cities across the world with varying success. 1/

AI is not the answer to any question I'm asking.

I'm trying to combat this. That's why I built @keisson.com: the serverless Kubernetes platform. I'm throwing out the old virtual machine charging model: I don't charge per server. Instead, I charge per Pod, which is the most atomic unit within a Kubernetes cluster.
For the last 2 years I've been cooking. What if we could have a truly managed Kubernetes platform that takes the headache of running a cluster off your hands? And what if we could do it in a serverless way, to massively reduce wasteful compute usage? Announcing @keisson.com, which does just that!
Kubernetes might be unmatched for orchestrating your containerised apps, the management overhead is hard to swallow. We get it. Thatβs why we created Keisson. Keisson is a platform that packs all the power and potential of Kubernetes but takes all the hard work off your hands.
"Organisations which also want to remain gay-inclusive need to receive support on how to do so within the law. In a similar way, those that wish to exclude gay men and lesbians from their spaces also need to know how to do so..." If it's not ok to say the above, then it's not ok to say the below.
Organisations which also want to remain trans-inclusive need to receive support on how to do so within the law. In a similar way, those that wish to exclude trans men and women from their spaces also need to know how to do so without breaching individual rights to privacy. (6/7)
