My brain trying to drum up a dysphoria dream:
"And also you have a BIG BUSHY BEARD... ugh no that's too unrealistic... Also you have HEAVY STUBBLE and - god fucking damnit you'd probably be kinda into - also you have a FLUFFY PATCH ON THE CORNER OF YOUR JAW"
*screams*

The average medieval peasant could not buy a gas station delta 9 gummy and watch “Scooter Fail Compilation 5” on YouTube, which makes it difficult to compare GDP across time

my private memo is raising a lot of questions already answered by my private memo
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

I’m going to coin a law - call it Maugham’s First Law - and it is that nothing Wes Streeting ever says turns out to be true. 🧵

But we can't find any meetings he has disclosed with affected external individuals - no “families” (plural), “children” (plural), or “young people” (plural).

And we can see that he has once met with some trans groups “to discuss LGBT+ policy issues”. openaccess.transparency.org.uk?meeting=106247

I turn to the second claim made by Wes Streeting, that he has had many meetings with trans organisations, their families and children.

Fifth, the clinical advice actually given was that the measures concerned an "extremely vulnerable group, liable to self-harm" and "it would cause a larger patient safety issue to force them to stop treatment... than it would to allow them to continue."

Fourth, what Streeting’s predecessor was actually told about the ban was, there was a "high risk of unanticipated consequences. This may include harm to patients".
Streeting adopted the ban almost immediately he became health secretary.

What about the actual advice Wes Streeting was given?
First, nowhere in her report does even Hilary Cass recommend banning puberty blockers or assert they are a serious danger to health. Here is Wes Streeting’s own lawyers agreeing with my characterisation.

Kemi Badenoch's other point is that Britain “has taken a global lead when it comes to banning puberty blockers.” Or, as I put the same point yesterday, we are "a serious international outlier in how we approaches healthcare for young trans people.” bsky.app/profile/joly...
Background: the UK is a serious international outlier in how it approaches healthcare for young trans people. All over the world Governments are declining to follow the policy based evidence making of the Cass report. I believe we now have the most hostile regime anywhere in the world.

Watersports is tricky cuz they kneel like a foot away and you're like "do you know how much my prostate has atrophied"
But with a cage on? Pros: gets that pressure up
Cons: really becomes more of a "to whom it may concern"

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

Laughed out loud at the follow-up to this.
Summarised all the Budget preview pieces to save you time:
Reeves was going to raise income tax but since the forecast is a bit better she won’t. Instead she’ll just do a bunch of tweaks and freezes that will annoy everyone and not leave her enough headroom to avoid the same thing next year. 1/2
