One week tomorrow I will get to meet our youngest grandkid in person. He was born in the UK in April, and although my wife spent some time there on his arrival, he and I meet online. It’ll be nice to hold him

We need to go for the jugular.

And the jugular is the SC ruling basing itself on a laughably primitive belief that the UK society of biologists told the government was scientifically illiterate bollocks.

My human rights should not depend on the Stone Age beliefs of ignorant, hateful bigots.

'gender critical' stopped making any kind of sense years ago. they're rabid bigots hell bent on eradicating trans ppl.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is either just as bad as them or doesn't really understand what she's aligned herself with.

terfs are wrong about science. there is no discussion there.
"I'm just asking questions" and "Let's have a common sense discussion of gender" are ALWAYS code for "I'm lazily terrified and want to hurt people I don't understand."

"Trans boys can still join the guides." Mocking trans people isn't helping here; writing from a position of ignorance is negligently harmful.

Trans girls banned from joining Girlguiding
Girlguiding says the move is in response to the Supreme Court ruling that said sex meant biological sex in equality law.

Fucking incredible
Thames Water half-year profits leap to £386m after bills rose by nearly a third.

Leaks and sewage dumping will continue for years.

£20bn+debt. A third of the bill covers interest payments.

Captive customers have no choice.

End the scam. Nationalise water.

The backup turkey, to support the one we’re going to cook Christmas Day
December 2, 2025 at 9:05 PM
With 8 kids & spouses. +15 grandkids, a big enough Christmas turkey is problematic. So we’re doing one today for extra meat and the stock to make gravy. Christmas dinner is a stressful meal for my wife, more because of her temperament than anything else, so we work to de-stress the day

Sharing for the new month. The hardest one for many. Love to everyone and even though we share and put our hopes out there, we are like so many. Barely making it or not making it. Love to everyone. May December bring us all some new joy and peace. 🪶💕
As month end approaches, I have to post our reminder that we gratefully accept kokum gifts that help us and many others survive right now. I live on a small pension raising teens and it helps so much to have beautiful souls who care about us. It is a lot to overcome alone. Love to all this day💞🪶

In fact, it’s a LOT worse from a legal perspective because it may well constitute the crime of aggression which is considered by many to be the worst international crime.
This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.
