It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

Part of the interior of Unstan Neolithic Chambered Cairn on Orkney. Some 30 bowl fragments were discovered during excavation which gave rise to the pottery type ‘Unstan Ware’. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #Prehistory #Archaeology #Orkney

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

One wonders what *would*.

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

The EU’s top court ruled today that when a same-sex couple is legally married in one member country, any other member country where they move or reside must recognize that marriage.
Top EU court mandates same-sex marriage recognition across borders
The Luxembourg-based court said a decision by Polish authorities infringed on a same-sex couple’s freedom of movement.

I was foolishly optimistic that a Labour government might not have been so seriously wrong about protections for nature and the environment.

They are bastards.
The lords have caved already and the planning bill will now go back to the commons with no amendments. There’s now nothing stopping it going through unless Labour MPs magically gain a backbone which we know won’t happen. Goodbye nature. Goodbye endangered species 💔

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

As the holidays approach, we are still here, creating art.

As the world burns, it seems only appropriate we are making raku, if only as a reminder that from fire comes new life.

I know times are tough, but hopefully my work can find a good home. You can help by sharing🙏

This literally means that if a trans person requires GnRH blockers for cancer treatment (i.e breast or prostate), they CANNOT get cancer treatment.

Insane. Absolutely insane - and deadly.
No matter what the politicians say, this is discrimination. Look at how the regulation is worded: This is not a ban on its use for a particular indication, it's a ban for a population.

I do like that every image that can be proven to have existed before LLM image generation just had its stock go way, way up. oh, this shitty picture of a moody tree I took during my photography phase in 2005? it may be bad, but the Flickr upload timestamped it: REAL, baby.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
