The British government out here force mascing the kids.

Reminder that "biological sex" is not a thing that exists. It is a legal fiction in every place that refers to it. In the UK, in the equality act, it means "the sex that was written on your original birth certificate." Incidentally, it doesn't matter if that's due to a clerical error.

The two unions representing key Leinster House staff have not granted requested derogations to the Oireachtas Service for next week's strike action. The move means the Oireachtas may not be able to operate as usual next Wednesday. www.thejournal.ie/dail-strike-...

thejournal.ieTaoiseach says 'no need' for picket at Leinster House as Oireachtas staff prepare to strikeA number of political parties have said they will not be passing the picket at the Dáil next week as public workers prepare to strike.

They wanted to put armbands on them but decided that was too on the nose.

Since when are we a country that gets wildfires?

The Journal@thejournal.ie

A wildfire around Glencullen in the Dublin mountains has “died down considerably” after reigiting yesterday. Fire crews withdrew just after midnight but at one point, there were four fire engines, a water tanker, and a wildfire jeep at the scene. jrnl.ie/7120651

“Having considered the legal advice we concluded reaching a negotiated agreement was the appropriate course of action” This is PR speak for: “Our lawyers told us we were about to get our shit wrecked if we took this any further and this is how we avoid paying for the other side’s legal costs.” 1/

"As proceedings developed, further issues of law and associated risks became clear..." Somehow, they and their legal team were convinced they were about to lose so badly in court that they completely dropped their challenge and even gave up the right to protest Féile. 1/

Scotland's beavers are back! 🦫 Scottish Greens introduced funding for reintroducing beavers to Scotland's countryside; now we are seeing these incredible animals restore rivers, reduce flooding, and rebuild ecosystems.

“Fuck you, make me” is the mantra of the 2020’s.

The Missouri AG threatened Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia with total defunding and investigations if they read books with LGBTQ+ themes to kids in a Pride story hour. They did so anyway. Our latest story from s. Baum of one library's defiance against an oppressive Republican regime.

"I think the problem for Andy Burnham, and where I plan to step up, is that his solutions aren't going to fix things. For instance If we brought in rent controls, we could save the average UK household up to £2,400 a year and the government £2 billion a year." Zack Polanski on BBC Newsnight.

This has to be the most brutal ratio I’ve ever seen. Maybe this went down really well on Twitter where you see nothing but blue checkmarks on openly fake accounts but this is the real centre of mass of public opinion.

Why is it that every supposedly left-wing party instantly goes right wing the minute they get into power these days?

Cwiar Cymru@cwiar.org

We are deeply disappointed to hear that Plaid Cymru have met with TERF groups today. Plaid's manifesto was explicity positive for queer communities In Wales, and we expect them to adhere to the promises they made - Labour has shown that the electorate does not forget broken promises.

To honor the untimely passing of the late Alex Jones, who popped like a balloon in his car, we are petitioning to rename his hometown of Austin, Texas to Jonestown in his honor. #MakeAustinJonestownAgain #MAJA #AlexJonesIsAClone #Whataburger

If a British citizen left the country and joined the Russian army, they would correctly be tracked and possibly be intercepted coming back in to the country, depending what they did. I agree there’s a double standard. Also she keeps saying “wait for a court case” but Netanyahu is, as we speak, 1

Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social

Well done to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for making it clear we should be tracking British citizens who have served in the IDF & engaged in genocide. He also rightly calls out the double standards when it comes to condemning Russian war crimes but not Israeli war crimes.

People need to stop disagreeing with me, because I’m literally never wrong. I’m just not.

Given how bitterly alleged leftists are defending this man in the comments, I’m no longer surprised at how frequently the Democrat party elects Sinemas and Fettermans. You people have absolutely no idea how to judge a character and you keep paying for it every election season.

I actually completely fucking hate this attitude, because we knew Platner was an abuser before the last accusation. We knew it because he’d already been accused! MULTIPLE women have said he was weird and erratic, one woman said she literally abused him for years. How the FUCK did you not notice!?

Francesca Fiorentini@franifio.bsky.social

I'm excited to be dragged into the pit of no return by the hogs on Bluesky for believing people make mistakes and can change. The SA allegations are awful. Please crucify me.

"The EHRC repeatedly argued that it did not intend to facilitate exclusion. Madrigal-Borloz repeatedly argued that, whatever the Commission intended, the proposal would make exclusion easier in practice."
