We are hearing some very troubling stories about trans exclusion, supported by the University, at Cambridge. We are making contact with affected societies and individuals and will fiercely protect the legal rights of trans students to live with respect and dignity.

I just can’t: I find that thylacine film the saddest thing in the world. If I watch it I will cry all day.

I had to learn of this news on fucking Facebook. WHAT THE FUCK, BLUESKY. Get your priorities right: meaning, if you aren’t spending a significant chunk of your time thinking about important synth bands, sort y’sel out.

Dave Ball of Soft Cell has died aged 66. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Dave Ball was not some bloke in the background of Soft Cell – he drove their startling, subversive sound

Far more than a mute foil to Marc Almond, Ball brought his love of northern soul and strange electronics to bear on some of Britain’s most uncompromising pop

Went to see I Swear. It’s a bit triumph-over-adversity in the form of a neurological difference, and, despite the many moments of levity caused by inappropriate swearing, there was a point when it all felt pretty bleak. Uplifting in the end, though. A solid 4/5.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Popping down to A&E: “glasses up the nose again, is it?”

Chris Owens @likesohushhush.bsky.social · 15h

I can’t believe I can’t find any gifs of people putting objects up their noses.

My brother used to stick baked beans up his nose. He was a toddler at the time, but still.

One of my friends is a professor of English, specialising in early science writing. She doesn’t wear glasses and doesn’t look anything like Bramble, yet I feel there could be an opening for B in the same field.

I mean, not just lies, but things the professional believes that are just plain mistaken.

It’s so easy to just write falsehoods in medical notes and have them treated as the word of god from thence onward.

No way I’m reading my notes. Things written by people I have liked and respected, that probably say what a cunt I am. Hey, that’s personality disorder.
