The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

Zack is the first politician I've seen clearly state the practical reason why nuclear isn't an alternative to renewables. Like, it really is that simple: we can't wait another 30 years

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

“Tel Aviv isn’t safe”. Imagine if all the borders were shut and Israelis were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. For 77 years.

Regardless of your stance on nuclear fission as a power source, the issue is that these power stations take over a decade to plan, build and test. It also doesn't solve the actual limiting factor, which is transmission capacity.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Important to note that this is a ship under a British flag. We maintain one of the most active military bases in the region, we could protect this vessel if we wanted to.
If it is attacked with no British resistance, just know the government would happily watch the IDF kill you on camera

🧵 REVEALED: Community energy projects in Scotland are generating 100x more local wealth than privately-owned wind farms.
But just 0.5% of the renewable power is community-owned. Why this staggering imbalance?

Deeply disappointing to see governments starting to discuss ending the right to bring your family under asylum claims.
To be clear, this is a self-defeating measure. If one member of your family succeeds in their claim, it is unlikely that any of you won't. This just clogs up the system

It's actually really pleasing to see all the innovations in AIO computer cooling coming out now that the oppressively broad patent for pump configuration has expired. Computex this year seems to be wall to wall with new AIO designs that previously would not have been feasible

Looking at the cash for communities proposal, it's generally positive stuff, but these things are all achieved more directly through community ownership. Better yet, it grants the local community the ability to decide what the money goes to.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

To be absolutely clear, the PIP system is incredibly intrusive and abusive towards disabled people. I am unfortunately aware of far too many who have been driven to suicide from it.
Making it harder is murder, and even on a pragmatic level will not produce significant savings. It is just cruel

Liz Kendall and Rachel Reeves are specifically planning to cause extreme poverty to and kill disabled people. When are we marching as this CANNOT stand.

Scottish Labour has the unenviable problem of being the Scottish arm of an unpopular red-tory government. It's interesting to see how they deal with this, because if they don't differentiate themselves, they lose. Which says something considering the result of the general election.

When you're really clued in to the state of AI research, this would not come as a surprise. But the market has yet to catch on to the wider problem which is that even the "good" models and applications are deeply flawed. The AI market is a dead tree with rotten roots
The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex
Can someone explain it to me like I'm stupid?

The problem: Due to the nature of capital CEOs are the only population that when attacked gets treated as a serious problem meanwhile school shootings occur en masse.
The plan: we will make a mega corporation called KidCo LLC with 72 million Co-CEOs so these crimes are stopped

So apparently ScotRail now uses starlink for its WiFi, which should be much faster.
Or at least, it would be, if anything could connect to it. Guess I won't be able to do any work on this train journey
