“Frameworks permitting routine exclusion or discretionary verification of sex based on appearance or stereotypes would raise serious concerns under international human rights law…”
UN experts remind the UK that it must avoid gender policing and ensure trans folk can live with safety and dignity.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
The litigation over who has lawful control of the USIP building plays on, with the Trump administration maintaining control for now. But I'm proud @rcfp.org and I were able to obtain this footage and shed important light on DOGE's intentions when they entered the USIP building nearly one year ago.

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
It looks like Tesla is once again using parking garages to stash inventory. There are some 100,000 inventory cars worldwide. 99,998 after today.
Photo of a few square inches of tree trunk. Growing on the tree trunk are several grey lichens (growing flat on tree), a lichen that looks like a bunch of tiny egg yolks, and a bright red fungus that looks like a half dozen or so round/oval red blobs.
A few square inches of tree trunk. At least 4 species of lichens (Parmelia, two Physcia species and Caloplaca) plus Red Tree Brain Fungus. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends.

Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.
So a lot of the hype around LLMs and a lot of the userbase just fundamentally misunderstands what the technology is and what it’s capable of, instead treating it like a mythical supernatural or religious being. The industry openly encourages this delusion for profit
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Ceratiomyxa sphaerosperma from Mera, Pastaza, Ecuador. This tiny slime mold makes its spores on little stalks, giving it a distinctive appearance. My favorite feature of these are the glass-like stems.

My latest piece for the @bigissue.com is out today, on how Labour's attacks on those seeking asylum are not only inhumane, potentially illegal, and seriously counterproductive, but also politically incoherent for a party which claims to be "progressive".

“Gender-critical” transphobia now costs every woman athlete £185 if they want to compete in an international competition.
Well done transphobes, this is your doing and no-one else’s. Trans people have long been saying that transphobia would harm cis women. We were right, people just don’t listen.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
andrrw Tate posting ai cringe and promising to fly to dubai
Andrew Tate has been detained by Saudi Arabia
how it started / how its going
Andrew Tate filmed a video of himself saying he doesn't read books and then he got detained in Saudi Arabia. This is what happens when you don't do the assignment.

>let claude code fuck with production
>no backups
incredible.
I feel like we, the public, deserve to see how the AI groveled after being confronted with this mistake. They're all absurd, but there's something very schadenfreude around the whole exercise of watching grown folk who should know better try to reconcile with statistically derived apologies.
“Coked-up wolverines tore our nursery apart. Here’s my 15-point newsletter you can read so when YOU use coked-up wolverines, it might not can happen less.”

So that’s nice!
Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
