Below is the headline of a BBC News article. Next to it is the eighth paragraph of the article. Literally burying the lede that Reform are planning to completely strip all of us of our human rights to help promote the party to their anti-immigrant base.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

If @zackpolanski.bsky.social was a crap leader, would mainstream media want his resignation? Of course not. They want his resignation because he is a very good leader who is going to be a thorn in the side of Bully Burnham. And make it hard for him to adopt the rightwing policies he wants to.

Saying @zackpolanski.bsky.social “should resign” because of coming a close second with a massively increased vote in the H&SP byelection is like saying the Manager of Scunthorpe United should resign because they lost 5-4 to Arsenal.

The right-wing propaganda machine has now moved on from “they’re transing vulnerable autistic children” to “bet those children aren’t even autistic anyway”. (Also, the word “rush” is being used in the same way it is for trans healthcare, to describe years-long waiting lists.)

A Mere Solicitor@ameresolicitor.bsky.social

What is the rate of “false” diagnosis? What is the actual harm done? Especially when the main intervention is “understanding and reasonable adjustments”? Or is this just the transphobic moral panic collecting another set of victims?

This has already been proven untrue...

Awful news, and hope everyone affected can find a new job in the industry soon. This is why Microsoft have put out so much positive PR recently - it's to try and bury bad news like this

They literally blocked the Port of Dover and were not only free to leave, but then committed further offences in Portsmouth and outside the Daily Mail the week after with zero consequences. They have not even seen a glimpse of the law, never mind "the full face"

Played an hour or so of Wolverine so far, and yes, it feels a bit throwback hack and slasher, but what do you want from a game about a protagonist who is known for his rage and sharp claws? I'm not far in (just finished the prologue area) but I'd say ignore the internet discourse

Max & Brian are the main reason I still paid attention to ign, any show with them was warm and felt like you were listening to old friends chat about their favourite things. I hope everyone affected manages to move onto bigger and better things

First live town mens match of the season (hopefully not the last) Ipswich Vs Arsenal in the cup. Played well for spells, Arsenal capitalised on defensive errors but like the Utd & Liverpool matches, scoreline isn't reflective of towns performance. Could have got another goal or two

Today is World Sepsis Day, in 20O7 I almost died of sepsis after a shaving cut got infected. Sepsis kills more people a year than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined. One of the best ways to fight it is to learn the warning signs

This week, PlayStation announced that it had pulled out of publishing Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint. But the company didn't give a reason. So I made some calls. Here's why PlayStation bailed and why Xbox snapped Kojima right up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Empire also gave this 4/5, so pretty much praise across the board!

Given that typically a "good news announcement" from Xbox is typically followed by some bad news like worker Layoffs or studio closures (or feature reductions in services), I'd be cautious about celebrating this

The polling company JL Partners featured in tonights Channel 4 News Exposé on Reform is the same one used by Sex Matters and LGB Alliance . JLP are linked to American Christian investors that hope to shape UK policy.

If you need proof the referees will always go in favour of the big clubs, just watch this match. 2nd goal should have never have stood, how utd haven't been booked yet I don't know...

For me, there's 4 5* films in UK cinema at the moment - The Odyssey Spider-Man: Brand New Day Coyote Vs Acme Camp Miasma 3 of the 4 have trans men acting in them (I'm not sure whether Coyote Vs Acme does but Looney Tunes has a long history of Bugs/Daffy breaking gender norms)

On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...

GC transphobes threatening to sue Amnesty International for saying they are anti-rights, are demonstrating very clearly that they are anti rights BUT don’t want people to know they are anti-rights in the same way they anti free speech BUT don’t want people to know they are anti free speech.

Disappointed more than anything. We played well for most of the match but parking the bus wasn't the right idea when we're only 1-0 up. Can't believe the Argentina team didn't have a lot more yellows with how dirty they played, especially in the first half.

What a match for Pickford/Bellingham. I know we were technically favourites based on rankings, but to beat Mexico, at their home ground, with 10 men, I'm happy surprised. From the highlights: 3 fantastic goals and two well taken pens, kinda wish I'd been able to stay up now 😅

I buy physical films rather than games, but I firmly believe that everyone should have the choice in how they purchase, especially as we've seen from online film/TV stores that buying doesn't mean you keep the licence in perpetuity!

Missed the first 25 mins so no clue how England are playing, but how the ref didn't give the penalty or at least check VAR is beyond me... DR Congo are playing very well though

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.
