Finally a resolution to the school saga, the ICO issued a decision notice and they upheld my complaint and spent some time on every other area they failed that was technically outside the complaint.

It's okay to grieve, and miss your loved ones so bad you cry when you think about them. I'd trade anything to see my son again.
But this isn't real. This is the opposite of humanity, it's a soulless grab by billionaires that want to monetise grief and strip you of memories of family and friends

Looking at the papers and broadcast media today having read the press summary of the Sandie Peggie judgment is wild.
They either haven’t read it or are lying about it.
And then people wring their hands about trust in institutions or bemoan people resorting to social media for news.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

The company is aware of its risk, however: "...as AI adoption can face strong resistance in creative areas… we will proceed by carefully assess [sic] appropriate use cases."

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

When told to calm down over the latest attack on trans people I ask "Are we human or are you a cowardly?"
Rowling is a bigoted nasty miserable bitch that wants to bully the UK with her cash.... Don't lose your soul to her money, support trans rights and human rights instead.

There's going to be a lot of people telling trans people in the UK to "calm down" and their expressions of rage "are not helpful" to the organizations caving to fascism.
Fuck em. This is not about being helpful. This is about being recognized as equal human beings by society.

My loathing for the UK gov and NHS increases with how they treat and attack trans people and especially trans kids.
Sharing HRT is a valid defence against them stopping the original compromise of Puberty blockers.

Probably worth noting here that in the Supreme Court submission, the EHRC decided not to bother taking the Human Rights Act into account 🤯
www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/defaul...

![(4) The Human Rights Act 1998
47. The Commission’s proposed interpretation of the various relevant provisions of the EqA is advanced without reference to the Human Rights Act 1998 (“HRA”). That is for three reasons. First, even assuming that it were applicable, it is not necessary to resort to the principle of interpretation in s. 3 HRA, in order to justify the conclusion that the second definition is the one adopted in the EqA. Second, in areas of difficulty of interpretation, notably ss. 17 and 18 EqA, even assuming that it were applicable, s. 3 HRA would not compel the unsatisfactory conclusion that “woman” should have different meanings across the EqA. Third, and in any event, the Commission is sceptical that Convention rights provide a useful framework, or tool, by which the Court may resolve the contentious issues in this case. There are, after all, two competing strands of rights at issue: the rights of trans people, as recognised, for example, in Goodwin; and the rights of women to be protected from violence by men (eg Luca v Moldova (2024) 79 EHRR 2, §50) and from having to share certain spaces with trans women and men, thereby creating embarrassment, shame and potentially an increased risk of violence (see FDJ v Secretary of State for Justice [2021] EWHC 1746 (Admin), [2021] 1 WLR 5265, §§76-78, 98 and 100 [EF.1196]). It is for Parliament to decide, against the background of the HRA, how these competing strands of rights should be reconciled.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cusxj5mn22tulo2annoirqwx/bafkreihzxa6xpk6pbz3ehifwg7fkctbbdlvtjjy6m74v7uzcllhb4srcli@jpeg)

Shows that the EHRC guidance was a complete stitch up if it took less than a day to draft.
51/ The EHRC Chief Executive, John Kirkpatrick, gave written evidence that it took less than a day to draft the guidance, and just over 24 hours in total to decide to publish it.
