There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

Every year transphobes say the wave of detransitions will begin any day now, and every year the number of detransitioners who will work with them, worldwide, remains in the low to mid countable-on-one-hand

Evan Urquhart@evanurquhart.bsky.social

We had an interaction, probably in 2019, where I just wanted to know what evidence he'd need to accept that detransition actually was rare, and it became clear that there was none. He's ideologically invested in something having gone wrong with trans care and will accept no evidence to the contrary.

The BBC continues its war on LGBTQ ppl. They claim that they won’t allow symbols. Yet the BBC is knee-deep in poppies, which some UK ppl see as political & contentious. One chooses to honour the war dead, one is born LGBTQ. This is the erasure of some 9% of Britons, as well as 23% of 18-29y olds.

Two University of Leicester students speak out over ‘absurd’ and ‘Orwellian’ decision by the BBC and ITV Studios to edit out pride pins worn on University Challenge

leicester.newsBBC edits out pride pins on University Challenge in ‘Orwellian’ move* * * This story was published by **The Leicester Gazette** : a local, independent newspaper about Leicestershire. 1,000 people have already joined our community. Just use those buttons below to download our app and **sign up for free**. * * * Astrophysics student Samuel Carlier and History student Emmeline Hague-Wright were shocked to find that their LGBTQ+ pride pins had been edited out of their University Challenge appearance earlier this year. The episode, initially scheduled for BBC Two on 24 August, was delayed twice before airing on 7 September 2026. The pins showed the progressive LGBTQ+ pride flag, the bisexual pride flag and a rainbow feather. Speaking to the Leicester Gazette, Sam said: “Living in a liberal democracy and having the state broadcaster tell you ‘we’re editing how you look’, seems very Orwellian.” Sam described the choice to remove the pins before broadcast as “weird” and “absurd”. He said: “[Censoring] that seemed weird. If I had worn a rainbow shirt, would they have censored that? If the idea is to keep things impartial, where is that line in the sand?” A side by-side image of Sam wearing the pin and with it having been digitally removed. Photograph: supplied Sam contacted the BBC to try to understand why his pins had been edited out. He told the Gazette: “The BBC people said they’d ring me, and I chased them, they just said go to the complaints website and file a complaint there, that’s what I did.” Since then, Sam hasn’t had a response from the BBC as to why his pins were removed. After the episode had aired, Sam noted that his shirt ‘melted’ into itself occasionally, as a result of the editing. Photograph: supplied ## Students believe the decision was made following online transphobia Emmeline was also shocked when she found out that the feather pin she wore was due to be removed from the episode she was in. It was understood by Emmeline that there was online transphobia in response to previous episode of University Challenge, and she had been contacted by the BBC, anticipating support from the broadcaster. When the BBC contacted her, instead of an offer of support, she was told her pin was going to be removed. “At first it was mostly confusion,” she said. “I heard that they had received a lot of nastiness online from people and I thought they were going to call me to say ‘we have support services if needed,’ and that wasn't what I got at all.” Instead, Emmeline was notified that the episodes were going to be delayed. “It was out of left field, I was confused for a while,” she said. “This entire delay has been because of a feather and two badges on a teammate that were basically impossible [for viewers] to see.” Emmeline had expressed her frustrations with the repeated delays from the BBC, spanning from mid-July to early-September. She said: “We were announced on the website and then delayed again, and then announced on the website a second time, and delayed even further. Speaking about the removal, she said: “It takes a lot of time” she said. “Making it [the edit] look good would be even more expensive and time-consuming. It seems like drastically a lot of effort.” ## Join the conversation Our app is more than just a way to keep up – it's a gateway to award-winning journalism and the local community. __Want to support our work?__ Click here for membership__.__ ## Wider criticism on LGBTQ+ support The pins Sam wore during the episode. Photograph: supplied According to leading LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall UK, two in five LGBTQ+ students will hide their identities at university for fear of discrimination. Stonewall has reported that more than 36 per cent of trans students have received hostile conduct from university staff due to their gender identity. Reflecting on the digital removal of the pins, Sam spoke about how disheartening the choice was. He said: “There was maybe like a span of eight years where someone could be uncontroversially out in the open queer – now that’s gone again.” he said. The BBC has also been widely criticised for ‘an attack on the LGBTQ+ community’ by pulling its involvement with the popular show, RuPaul's Drag Race. The broadcaster pulled its involvement in September following “significant financial pressures” as the reason for axing their involvement. The criticism follows another recent controversial edit by the BBC. On its hit show, Strictly Come Dancing, a decision was made to edit out ‘Protect the Dolls’ from contestant Bethany Antonia’s T-shirt. It’s a slogan which has become widely used to support the rights of trans women. The BBC defended their decision, saying the changes were made to meet editorial guidelines. It comes as the LGBTQ+ community has faced challenges amid an increasingly less tolerant political climate. ## What the BBC had to say When we asked them about editing out the pins worn by Leicester’s University Challenge team, a BBC spokesperson said: “In line with our editorial guidelines, we advise that no badges, flags, and emblems or symbols are worn or visible during filming, along with clothing with obvious branding or slogans. If such items are not removed for any reason then a decision is made between the programme makers and the BBC regarding any edits to the programme.” The BBC said the delays to the episode were unrelated to the decision to edit out the pins. A spokesperson for ITV Studios said: “University Challenge is an entertainment quiz show and is made in accordance with the BBC Editorial Guidelines requirements for impartiality.” The University of Leicester refused to comment on the matter. * * * **Before you go…** We’ve recently surpassed 1,000 subscribers, which is amazing considering we’re a small team on a shoestring budget.

I’m interested in reading anything on mar-a-lago face and how it relates to Henry VIII’s sumptuary laws/Acts of Apparel, both serving as displays of extravagant wealth and closeness to power. I know I can’t be the first person to notice the parallels, please please direct me to papers or articles! ❤️

A couple of things: First, officer-involved domestic violence is widely believed to be significantly underreported. Second, the suicide rate among first responders is around 17 to 18 per 100,000 people. The rate for the general public is around 13 per 100,000. apple.news/AKyfQAv2ORHa...

i can barely remember when it was better, it’s been so long. but my doctor told me that depression makes it harder to recall good memories and easier to recall the bad ones—like on a biological level. i have to remind myself of that on the bad days. which is most days. but it still helps a lot

So though I know that the forum Nazis are not available to be persuaded, but nevertheless I feel the need to insist: apart from the Holocaust - that greatest of all crimes - the Nazis also did basically two whole other holocausts in scale. You do not, cannot, despise these modern Nazis enough.

You are not "imagining" CPTSD-- either the big, well-known symptoms like flashbacks & nightmares; or the more subtle, lesser known symptoms, like hating your reflection, getting triggered by your name, or feeling inexplicably self-harmful or suicidal when you hear "I love you."

This too is "progress" and if you think companies shouldn't be getting hundreds of billions of dollars in investment to make viruses, you are "anti progress" No one stops to ask what it is that we are progressing towards when we do this, because no one is able to conceive of other futures anymore.

It's regrettable that our most beloved video games trained a generation to think this way: the tech tree moves inexorably from the left to the right as you pour research into it, and consumer products fall from the tree like rotten fruit. They cannot imagine a different relationship with technology.
