The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.

In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.

Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."
For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study
Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

Die Faszination und den Intellektualitätsrausch, die das deutsche Feuilleton für gefährliche rechtslibertäre und rechtsextreme Theoretiker und Populisten empfindet, kennt auch keine Grenzen, oder?

Updated: Starmer’s Labour: The most anti-LGBT+ govt since Thatcher. A list of the awful things they've done and said regarding LGBT+ people, especially trans people.
Labour: Ditched its longstanding pledge to demedicalise gender recognition for trans people before the 2024 election • And then abandoned even plans for watered-down reform • Made the Tories’ temporary ban on puberty blockers for trans children indefinite • Endorsed the flawed and discredited Cass Review • Refused to pass legislation to protect trans people’s gender recognition following the recent Supreme Court ruling • Introduced a new Section 28 for trans people • Banned trans women from standing for internal Women’s Officer posts • Oversaw the UK dropping to its lowest ever place in the ILGA-Europe rankings of LGBT+ rights in European countries • Has adopted covertly transphobic language (‘sex-based rights’, ‘transmen’, ‘transwomen’) in internal documentation • Took no action against Rosie Duffield even after years of vile social media posts targeting trans (and bi) people – including sharing a post denying Nazi persecution of trans people • Re-elected Duffield Women’s PLP Chair on International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia 2021 • Suspended the whip from Stonewall founder Michael Cashman for (rightly) criticising Duffield • Reappointed a ‘gender-critical’ bigot, Baroness Falkner, as Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission • Then tried to appoint ANOTHER ‘gender-critical’ figure, Mary-Ann Stephenson, as Falkner’s successor! • Suspended Lloyd Russell-Moyle, a gay MP and one of the most vocal pro-trans parliamentarians, on bogus charges shortly before the last election • Oversaw the introduction of new CPS guidelines that put trans people at risk of prosecution if they do not disclose their gender identity before having sex • Multiple Labour MPs attempted to dilute a motion at the Council of Europe condemning anti-LGBT+ hatred • Labour MPs abstained on backing trans rights in Scotland • Unlike other European countries, has not issued updated travel warnings for trans travellers to the US • Hosts anti-trans groups at its conferences Health Secretary Wes Streeting: Responded to the (flawed, discredited) Cass Review by saying he’d been wrong to say trans women are women • Banned the use of puberty blockers, against international best practice and evidence, and severely restricted gender healthcare for trans children • Supports segregation of trans patients in hospitals • Has expressed sympathy for conversion therapy groups • Implemented a ban on young trans people being able to obtain hormone therapy outside the NHS • Has overseen guidance directing GPs not to monitor trans people’s blood values – putting them at harm if they are forced to self-medicate due to NHS failings • Wrote in The Sun to share the lie that the NHS no longer uses the term ‘women’ • Shared the false claim that the practice history of doctors who transition to a new legal gender would not be disclosed to patients • Shared false claims that terms such as ‘breastfeeding’ are being ‘erased’ • Invited transphobic groups to produce NHS exclusion guidelines • Has overseen a rise in GPs refusing hormone prescriptions to trans people, which can have serious mental and physical health consequences • Responded to the recent Supreme Court ruling by calling on those who’d previously recognised trans people’s lived gender identities to reconsider • Was named What the Trans ‘Villain of the Year’ in 2024 • Issued an apology to Duffield for how she had been treated, ignoring her years of vitriol against trans people on social media STARMER’S LABOUR: THE MOST ANTI-LGBT+ GOVT SINCE THATCHER Prime Minister Keir Starmer: Responded to the recent Supreme Court ruling by declaring that trans women are not women • Attended a deeply homophobic church to deliver his Easter message • Then did it AGAIN two years later! • Supports the exclusion of trans women from sports • Refused to meet with trans Labour members to discuss concerns about institutional transphobia in the party • Left Marsha de Cordova in post as Shadow Equalities Secretary even after she shared overtly transphobic content on social media • Staged a fake meeting with LGBT+ community members (in reality all Labour staffers/councillors) for a publicity stunt • In 2023, expressed ‘concerns’ about the Gender Recognition Reform Bill in Scotland that was supported by his Scottish Labour colleagues • Believes trans children should require parental permission to socially transition Education Secretary and ‘Equalities’ Minister Bridget Phillipson: Responded to the recent Supreme Court ruling by immediately declaring trans people should use toilets according to ‘biological sex’ • Supports the removal of anti-transphobia policies at universities • Supports trans schoolchildren being outed to their parents • Welcomed the fine imposed on the University of Sussex due to students using their free speech to protest campus transphobia • Erased the word ‘trans’ from the new schools guidance • Prohibited schools from promoting ‘gender identity’ and ‘social transition’ – Section 28 all over again • Requires schools to misrepresent the law about ‘biological sex’ and gender recognition STARMER’S LABOUR: THE MOST ANTI-LGBT+ GOVT SINCE THATCHER Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood: During protests against LGBT-inclusive RSE in schools, argued that pupils’ ‘religious background’ and ‘age appropriateness’ should be considered • Agrees with J. K. Rowling’s views on ‘biological sex’ • Claimed it is ‘absolutely unacceptable’ to criticise the recent Supreme Court ruling • Home Secretary Yvette Cooper: Passed guidelines that would allocate trans women to male prisons – threatening their safety and dignity • Responded to a demonstration for trans rights by condemning washable chalk graffiti on a statue • Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy: Deleted all her past tweets supportive of trans people when the government switched to an explicitly anti-trans position • Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar: During the NHS Fife tribunal case, backed the ‘gender-critical’ nurse accused of harassing trans doctor Beth Upton • U-turned on previous support for gender recognition reform in Scotland • Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens: Shared content from gender-critical group Woman’s Place UK • Parliamentary Under-Secretary Feryal Clark: Described LGBT+ affirming education as ‘nonsense’ on social media • Parliamentary Under-Secretary Jess Phillips: Shared a conspiracy theory on social media alleging that the murderer of Phoenix Netts was a trans woman • Tonia Antoniazzi MP: Accused Welsh government of being ‘dictated to’ by Stonewall and having an ‘ideological culture’ • Jonathan Hinder MP: Supports exclusion of trans women from (non-competitive, mixed-sex) Parkruns

Dass CBS Stephen Colberts Show cancelt, nur 2 Tage, nachdem er den schmutzigen Deal der Mutterfirma Paramount mit der Trump-Administration als „big fat bribe“ bezeichnet, zeigt, wie schnell es geht. Und dass es Personen & Institutionen mit Geld und Macht sind, die den autoritären Umbau ermöglichen.

This piece is so timely right now.
Screenshot of a news article headline that reads: "CBS Canceling 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' After Next Season." The subheadline states: "The show will end in May, the network said, calling it 'a purely financial decision.'" Below the text is a photo of Stephen Colbert smiling while standing on the set of his show, wearing a suit and glasses. There is also a button indicating an option to listen to the article, with a duration of 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Kaum haben junge Frauen keine Aussicht mehr auf gute Betreuung in der Schwangerschaft, verlässliche Kinderbetreuung, bezahlbaren Wohnraum und beruflichen Aufstieg auch mit Kindern, schon entscheiden sie sich öfter gegen die Mutterrolle. Einfach komplett unverständlich.
Bevölkerungsentwicklung in Deutschland Nur noch 1,35 Kinder je Frau - Geburtenrate erreicht neuen Tiefstand Die Zahl der geborenen Kinder in Deutschland sinkt weiter. Unter Frauen mit deutscher Staatsangehörigkeit und in Metropolen wie Berlin ist die Lust am Mutterwerden besonders niedrig.
