I mean, I understand wanting a computer to help me with parties (hi, I’m autistic) but I want one to help me fit in and be liked, not come up with ways to demean someone’s appearance?!??
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

What solid feminism from the terfs! What an outcome! This will dismantle the grip patriarchy holds on us - more judgement of women’s bodies!
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

An absolute scandal compounded in this case by failure of French government and EU institutions to forcefully react and sanction in turn those who have sanctioned ICC judges and prosecutors. Makes a total mockery of FR/EU's repeated commitment to the rule of law/ICC

It’s hard to read this stuff from doctors without cringing at how wildly out of touch it sounds (and how little self-awareness). £100k+ income is, to most of the public, beyond our dreams. Entitlement and class privilege is not the best way to win people over to your cause!

it‘s an aside, but wtf - women in US are about 8 times more likely to be killed tbh their partner than in the UK (men are 17times more likely, but from much lower base line).

Wouldn’t it be great if all this dithering from Labour on the budget was a deliberate distraction, and then BOOM, they will do a wealth tax that is so large it will create a national sovereignty fund that will be used to build social housing and hospitals 😍.

I am often to be found caring for the unknown dead, who emerge, shattered, from their ancient and forgotten graves. Collecting them, burying them, praying them back to their rest. It makes me think, sometimes, of the transphobic refrain that in a thousand years our bones will somehow betray us.

Decided to just go for it and attempt to fix a rotten corner on the sash window frame.
Anyway, now there’s a tiny hole to the outside which I’m sure is fine.

I connected a WiFi enabled solenoid valve to a hose and set up a script on my phone so when the camera detected a squirrel it got blasted with the hose briefly. It was very effective.

I'm a 40-year old man. After kids' parties, I put a bit of sellotape on each balloon and prick it with a pin and let them slowly deflate while doing the rest of the cleaning up. Fucking hate bursting balloons.

Sometimes I forget that on day 1 of being prime minister, Starmer had the power to say “that genocide that Israel is doing? We are no longer going to be providing weapons/military support.” Shame that didn’t happen, eh?

I have seen a lot of 'dont comment on women's bodies' etc posts about the Wicked press & i generally agree but the normalisation and celebration of ever-shrinking forms is being blasted into the retinas of thousands of young girls across the world & that is also bad

Managed to pop out for both a walk and then went for a short solo bouldering session today! I find leaving the house quite challenging sometimes, so this felt quite positive.

Looked up who this shill is, and it turns out he and his wife are MPs, but for constituencies in totally different parts of the country (in Nottingham and Northumberland).
Everything about the political system is so contrived and gross - party faithfuls just landed into seats (and well paid jobs!)

Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.
