UK Parliament hosts first all-trans panel on the experience of trans+ children in school

Young trans advocates are rediscovering and adapting the methods we employed thirty years ago to put the reality of our lives in front of law makers in Parliament. We once hoped the need for that kind of engagement was in the past. With some politicians trying to turn the clock back it’s necessary to turn our clocks back too and re engage

It does not bode well that Joe Biden described the Hamas peace proposal outlined here "a little over the top". This when he is desperate to end the war in Gaza, as it is fast burning through his administration's political capital.

"Dentists to get £20k incentive as part of plan to combat NHS shortfalls"

Twenty thousand? Do these Tory muppets not realise how much money passes through your average dental practice?

Gespräch mit meinem Vater über die #Afd.
Er hat deren Programm gelesen und meint:
"Die werden innerhalb der ersten drei Wochen eine Diktatur errichten und dann alle nach und nach rausschmeißen, die ihnen nicht passen. Aus dem Land, aus Firmen, den Medien, Gerichten, überall. Die haben Listen. Das 'Die Demokratie ist in Gefahr' von unseren Politikern ist zu abgehoben. Die müssen viel einfacher erzählen, was passieren wird. Die schmeißen Dich aus der Firma, weil Dein Schwiegervater in der SPD ist"

"Listen up! It’s Liz Truss and the PopCons, the Tory tribute act sounding a death knell for irony"

It's more like Dim Lizzie and the PopTarts, the shittest band in England.

England's disgraced former finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng to stand down as an MP at the next general election.

Labour MP Jess Phillips reacted: "Kwasi Kwarteng made everyone’s mortgages rise, his tenure as chancellor a dangerous embarrassment. I was stood next to him when I received news that my cat had been hit by a car and forever this association for which he is (as best I know) blameless is what I associate with him."

"UK professor suffered discrimination due to anti-Zionist beliefs, tribunal rules"

"The tribunal ruled any award would be reduced by half because the claimant’s dismissal was caused or contributed to by his own actions'."

Award him a token Reichsmark, and tell this acid-dribbling "anti-Zionist" and promoter of Nazis to fuck off back to the obscurity where he belongs.

When supermassive black holes actively feed on material, a giant rotating accretion disk of gas, dust, and shredded stars slowly swirls to its doom. Recently, astronomers have found a black hole that piled up so much material that it backed up, releasing its accretion disk in all directions. This shut down the black hole's supply of new material and changed the galaxy's structure, preventing star formation in a vast region.

"British and Irish governments play down Sinn Féin’s calls for united Ireland"

Or, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and the soon-to-be-evicted tenant of Number 10 are shit-scared of Irish voters. Not just Sinn Féin.

Still, onwards to a 32 county Ireland it is. Star Trek predicted it would happen in 2024, so the feckers had better get a move on.
