— Israel kills 3 journalists, including CBS contributor
— AFP, the other impacted outlet, condemns killing & calls for investigation
— CBS doesn't, instead peddles Israel's claim that they were targeting a group with "a drone affilliated with Hamas"

Inside the Bari Weiss-led CBS response:
Bari Weiss’s CBS News Won’t Even Condemn Israel for Killing a CBS Contributor
Instead, the network’s new top anchor Tony Dokoupil peddles Israel’s talking points about it killing a Palestinian journalist. A CBS source calls it a ‘disgrace.’

Readers... this AI shit in Amazon ebooks is something authors can't opt out of and it's frankly illegal, but when did that stop tech companies? The only thing they respond to (sometimes) is customer backlash — don't use this feature and tell Amazon you hate it.

Interesting how even now, in the US, courts are protecting trans children's healthcare data privacy rights.

In the UK, trans children's Sussex GP data was forcibly handed over to NHS England late last year.

& the law changed to force access to the data of 9,000 adults who were children at GIDS.
BREAKING: Another of DOJ's invasive trans care subpoenas quashed as to patient records. This one was challenged by patients of Children's National Hospital.

As the BBC - abandoning even the vaguest pretence at balance for a campaign grounded in passionate intensity - it's worth reading this joint statement signed by 40 children’s charities, digital safety experts and bereaved families.

They oppose one.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The excellent EX MACHINA opened in UK cinemas on this day in 2015.

The film was Alex Garland's directorial debut after having been a writer on films such as The Beach, Dredd, and 28 Days/Years Later, as well as video games Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and the Devil May Cry series.

Entirely typical of the BBC's treatment of trans people that it presents Michael Foran, who is literally on the advisory Board of the Sex Matters hate group, as an independent expert.

‘consider lack of access to *gender affirming care*. When children died, their families demanded action to protect others…we did not tell grieving parents we needed more data…’

oh, hang on, you did, and called us ‘shroud wavers’ for demanding action.

Wrong kind of parent to wrong kind of child.
surely this is some other baroness doctor cass? the baroness doctor cass i know and love would be horrified at such a reckless approach to intervention

Good question!
Hypothetical situation. A group of white female nurses complain about a black female nurse using a female changing room. The black woman has done nothing wrong. NHS tells nurses that black colleague can use changing room. Is the NHS harrasing the white nurses or are the white nurses racists?

Utterly inappropriate from a supposedly neutral Chair of the EHRC. Interested to see what will @commonswec.parliament.uk have to say?
