This is both so much fun and completely absurd. The Information Commissioner has upheld the confidentiality of the contracts that established the Cass Review.

I will be seeking legal advice. I might actually need to crowdfund for legal costs this time. This is so getting out of hand.

Referencing "Sora" w/o context and expecting me to know you're talking about some dumb AI thing is about as normie-coded as calling every video game system "a nintendo." Sorry babe that doesn't even make the top 5 for me and I won't let them have it. At least familiarize yourself with Kingdom Hearts

Do you think there's a reason people continually make fun of Alanis for "not knowing what Ironic means" but no one seems to bring up that Geezer Butler apparently doesn't know what Paranoid means?

(Both songs are fantastic though)

Yaknow I kinda wish I didn't know what Kabbalah was so that I could regain the ignorant bliss of seeing "Satanic" stuff in media and not realising it's just Kabbalah.

So much bad stuff is happening. The Cass Review feels like it got lost in the noise. Yet this incredibly biased £3m project continues to warp discourse around trans healthcare.

I've therefore updated my megapost with 6 new major critiques from clinicians, researchers, and a child abuse survivor.

I know why power-scaling/death battles/“who would win” type arguments are mocked and for good reason. Usually, people argue about it online in a dull, obnoxious manner and often won’t engage with a work in any other way.

That said, I think they’re fun hypotheticals to wrestle with in good company.

For instance, Bran becoming king makes sense *if he's actually had his mind taken over by Bloodraven*, which isn't set up in the show but has basis in the books.

I'm definitely in the camp of "the ending we got is very close to the planned ending of the books. They just didn't set it up organically so it comes out of nowhere"

Honestly if she'd had some proximate cause to have her behave rashly, and then feel like she had to double down, but what we got instead was absurd

Our economy is running on the spending of the top 10%. It does not care about the bottom 60%. I think this is also why they aren't pushing for universal basic income right when you'd think they would to maintain consumer buying power. Our consumer economy has become reoriented around elite spending.

The letter on trans rights is excellent. I encourage you to read it. With a remarkable economy of language, it pins down and dismantles the transphobic arguments around rights that became common coin in the UK over the past 10 years.

Labour would do well to heed this. But we all know they won't.

Read my two letters to the #UK:
1. Protests: I call for a review of the legal framework and the reconsideration of provisions in the Crime & Policing Bill that could restrict freedom of assembly.
2. Trans people: I warn against exclusion&zero-sum approaches

European Council commissioner voices concerns following April’s supreme court ruling on legal definition of a woman Transgender people risk being excluded from many public spaces as a result of the recent UK supreme court judgment and must be protected from discrimination, a human rights expert has said.
