This is a documentary about gender ideology in Australia.
From the perspective of people who are gender critical, many of whom have suffered dire consequences for speaking up.
It should be fascinating.
PREMIERING NOV 5th
The debate we’re not supposed to have!

If this is true it is peak insanity.
Anyone can claim anything caused distress. You can receive an *unlimited fine* for someone claiming you caused them distress.
This post caused me distress. The poster should be fined out of existence.

Best anecdote in Carol Thatcher's book about her father is when Sir Denis boarded a train at Paddington in which the only empty compartment was reserved for Rosewood Psychiatric Hospital.
Denis travelled alone and in comfort as far as Reading when "all these chaps piled in", accompanied by a male nurse, who counted them before the train moved off.
'One, two, three, four ... who are you?"
"I'm the Prime Minister's husband."
"Six, seven, eight, nine..."

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Indeed Bernie. Bodies lying all over the place here in Europe.
No, wait. The 32,000 is not an actual body count. It’s the result of modelling by Imperial College on the basis of several dubious assumptions.
People did die of heat this summer. They usually do when it gets v hot e.g 1976, 2003. The exact number is not clear.
But even if 32,000 was a real figure we know for sure many, many more will die of cold this winter. They always do.

This has gone viral in France.
The wonderful black woman is a credit to France.
The smug, haute-bourgeois blonde an embarrassment.

As always @jk_rowling nails it.
“It’s true, of course, that trans activism doesn’t impact all women negatively. In fact, the more privileged you are, the less it tends to affect you, and the more it might benefit you. Aside from an avalanche of death, rape and torture threats, it hasn’t noticeably affected my life. Nor does it hurt wealthy women who repost the vogueish mantras while sitting in dressing rooms guarded by private security guards. It doesn’t hurt women in the upper echelons of media, publishing and academia, who don’t need a changing room at work and who feel a snobbish disdain for working class women who don’t want to strip off in front of heterosexual males who’ve ‘identified’ into the women’s changing room. Trans activism doesn’t hurt headline-hungry female politicians whose attitude to women’s rights is ‘whatever is good for me personally’. On the contrary, trans activism has been good for those women. It’s fashionable, and keeps them popular with their progressive tribe, and costs them, personally, absolutely nothing.”
I wrote a new piece about women’s rights and whether or not I want trans people dead. (Spoiler: I don’t)👇

I cannot remember any single day with SO MANY critical security breaches / disclosures, which would impact so many sites/companies/users
And have to admit that the two big labs (and especially Ant) has been warning of THIS type of thing happening, since Mythos announcement

You take climate change seriously, support cutting emissions and publish research consistent with IPCC assessments. Then you find yourself labelled a “climate denier”.
That happened to @RogerPielkeJr. He studied losses from hurricanes and other weather disasters. Those losses are rising—but how much comes from climate change, and how much from having more people and more valuable property in harm’s way?
His findings were not well received. In his lecture at Clintel, he describes the political attacks that followed, including from the Obama White House.
He also walks through what the science says about extreme weather. Heatwaves, floods, hurricanes and droughts each tell a different story. And he explains why he challenges the attribution studies behind so many headlines.
His full first lecture, recorded on 11 October in Driebergen, the Netherlands, is now online. Around 57 minutes, with clear explanations and plenty of personal experience. Worth making time for.

Bridget Philipson MP should not be writing in the Independent that no parent will be prosecuted for tense and difficult conversations with children when the conversion bill she is promoting permits for exactly that to be prosecuted. Time to end this misinformation from govt.
Replying to @MensNetwork1
3/ It is also not accurate to offer reassurances to parents in the terms adopted by the Secretary of State. There is no “carve out” for parents. There is no parental defence. This can be privately prosecuted. The predecessor minister anticipated parental prosecutions.

Since I wrote and filed this last night Fintan Slye, who’s remuneration is almost £1m/year to run state-owned Neso, the organisation responsible for managing Britain’s power system, told staff he was “disappointed” in himself and “should have fixed” the problems before an independent report raised them. There’s still a widespread feeling in Neso that he puts carrying out the government’s net zero wishes/obsessions way above the concerns of his staff.
ANDREW NEIL: The British Government’s relentless and costly pursuit of net zero is a recipe for blackouts.

This has to be one of the most extraordinary examples of what happens when gender ideology gets into the newsroom.
The Daily Mail is reporting that transgender actor Hunter Schafer has undergone “gender-affirming bottom surgery”.
Yet the journalist repeatedly describes Schafer as “she”, calls him an “actress” and claims he “transitioned to female” as a teenager.
But if Schafer had already become female, what exactly was the surgery affirming?
And why is a journalist reporting on surgery involving male genitalia seemingly unable to acknowledge that the patient is male?
This isn’t about being unkind to anyone. It’s about the language journalists use to describe biological reality.
Because when journalists start treating the idea that human beings can change sex as established fact, rather than distinguishing sex from gender identity, they’re no longer simply reporting what happened.
They’re adopting a contested belief as the framework for their reporting.

Missing from this conversation is the fact that last week food merchants in Gaza were going on strike because they were so angry at the huge margins Hamas is extracting from them.
Why is Hamas never mentioned?
