This is the UK - where you can sue for harassment because other people exist in the same space as you but the people being excluded aren't, apparently, being harassed.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights.
These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

One of the things I didn't expect when I went to grad school to do math is that I would need to spend so much time paying attention to global geopolitics.
Threats are from people, so your threat modeling absolutely must include what's happening to them. You can't do security without it.

I never know what to say on Trans Day of Remembrance. I have lost too many friends already. Many of them were better at this than I am, but I’m the one who’s here to remember them and carry on in memory of them.

The news just described Boris Johnson, as he goes into the covid inquiry, "a historian". Shout out to my bf who withstood my subsequent yelling rant.

IMPORTANT NEW PAPER just published on gatekeeping in gender-affirming care. Colleagues and I just published a paper that reviews the literature on gender assessments in gender-affirming care. We conclude they don’t work!

It is interesting that so many of the commentators and outlets that were so concerned over the last half decade about ‘cancel culture’ and the free speech ‘crisis’ have been quiet lately over the clamp down on pro-Palestinian speech and activism in many countries.

Nadine Dorries says tech executives have "big dials" which they use to promote negative stories about her while “nudging opinion ever leftwards” and suggests this was somehow hidden from her when she met them.

My province just outlawed short-term rentals in all its major cities unless they’re attached to your primary residence and owners are shitting themselves. 💅

Got some more bits, starting to look like a bike! I also have wheels and tyres, but it'll be time for Strictly, and I need to watch some more how-to videos before making a giant tubeless sealant mess... 😅

UK public becoming more pro-borrowing to invest in infrastructure as interest rates go up is bleakly funny.
Tucked away in the latest YouGov polling, quite an interesting finding, I think. Public support for investment.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street when Oswald Mosley and marching members of the British Fascist party got the shit kicked out of them by the antifa of the time, Jews, Irish, trade unionists and socialists.

The farce of scrapping the Manchester leg of HS2
Only this government would announce a policy such as this in Manchester, and still lay claim to levelling up.
