First post I saw this morning and the ad hominem attack on @kathleenstock1.bsky.social from an academic seemed odd so asked if he meant to attack her personally or her views.
No answer. Instead was labelled "another Guardian terf" and blocked by him and followers all supposed British "academics".

Oh dear, it's a particularly British story.
Penelope Keith is fondly remembered for playing smart and amusingly snobbish ladies in British television comedies in the 1970s and 80s.
Russell Brand is...many things and not remembered that fondly.

Just when you despair of social media - especially the other place - along comes a story that pulls it out of the gutter.

Journalist @juliettecampion.bsky.social is heroically following trial of Joël Le Scouarnec accused of rape/abuse of 299 young patients. One of accused's friends told court dismissively these "histoires de braguette" (roughly = stories of someone who can't keep flies zipped) "are not my problem". .
