We cannot give these lunatics an inch in the uk. Scotland is now lagging behind England and Wales. We need the reasonable changes suggested by the expert group to protect us.
Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be:
They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions

this is a deeply unsettling fact to have learned at 1am
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

I cannot hide my deep disapointment and frustration. This is a bad decision and I feel sad. Tracking deforestation is key to prevent it and to count on a reliable instrument to facilitate sound carbon markets and trustful forest funds. www.politico.eu/article/eu-c...
EU countries seek to weaken deforestation law as green backpedaling continues
The decision coincides with COP30 and will add fuel to claims the EU is walking back its green ambition.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

Sally Rooney says UK prisoners linked to Palestine Action face ‘shocking mistreatment’

Six prisoners awaiting trial are refusing food, including two who have been on hunger strike for more than two weeks and are already said to have lost considerable weight and be struggling physically. Their demands include improved jail conditions, release on bail and lifting the ban on Palestine Action. Continue reading...
