Learnt today, that the first patent I drafted unsupervised as a newly-qualified attorney in 2006 is being litigated in Texas! Feeling a mixture of pride (they must have thought it was strong enough to sue under) and shit-scared-ness (what if its isn't).

A lovely review article (and my first dissertation citation🍾) on Scottish archaeological mollusc exploitation from @jenniferbones.bsky.social & @mlaw.bsky.social. Makes the point that culture ("taste" if you like) may be just as important as economic considerations www.mdpi.com/2571-550X/8/...

A brilliant article. Clear and legally correct. People need to calm TF down about people using toilets as toilets and not fall for the artificial panic whipped up by the right.
Just a reminder that this is still very much accurate and relevant. Even when the EHRC publish the Code of Practice, which does not change the actual law.
Trans people in the UK can still use the toilets that match their gender. Yes, even after the Supreme Court ruling. Here's why:

As the Zionist lobby comes for Miriam Margolyes, it exposes itself as the cynical, colonialist operation it really is. Disgraceful.

Nick Clegg has a bloody cheek piping up at all.
It was the austerity he enabled that is most responsible for Brexit & the continued unravelling of our social fabric.
Then he swanned off to piss around at meta. Twat.

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

It's Starmer's "island of strangers" idea that pisses me off the most.
The fact that an unlikeable man struggles to make friends on an island of 65 million is not really the fault of immigration is it?

When I ask her opinion
about this moment
the historian,
who studies the dark times,
tells me she is worried
that the end is in sight,
and I tell myself
that she is just talking
about the end of the semester,
yes, I tell myself,
that must be what she means.
