It's been very interesting seeing the "free speech absolutists" call for people to be arrested and fired over their speech
bsky.app/profile/astr... meanwhile, this is how trans protests get handled in the media
These days how free your speech is really does just get measured in how openly you can be a fascist
That is the closest Iāve been to an asthma attack in a very long time, I was able to get it under control and my lungs are a bit fucky but Iām fine (something I meant to do yesterday: carry your inhaler, it is life saving!) but wtaf was in the air
My lungs are so fucked after yesterday jeeeesus the air quality was awful
This is late (I had a few drinks with the people I hung out with) but Iām in Brighton safely
Am on the train home, was very exhausted and we did most of the day - sounds rioty now from what I hear
*food
THE MET JUST SHORTCUTTED US THROUGH THE FLAG WANKERS TO GET GOOD WHAT THE FUCK
You can see it poking through the Union Jack they are trying to break the cordon
The agitators are here
Some alt right agitators, getting more tense closer to the protest
(The counter)
Iām really sorry I cannot alt text right now but this is the protest
I could probably make that truncation limit more lax lol
"Transgender individuals are targeted and harassed, and then people wonder why we're politically acti..."
I wonder if all the people that tried to pin the shooting on some random trans person and the people who actively said that trans people were involved will apologise. I doubt it.
I planned to have a more idle from work week next week (not without letting everyone know first, but I sometimes do it to stop burnout). Fuck that feels like a better option than actually having more free time though now.
Is it "follow your leader" if someone else fires the shot?
Holy shit I didnāt even realise I bought cake the other day, nice
Jesus Christ.
Impeccable timing Spotify
BUY THE DIP!!!!!
Did Charlie Kirk's neck just do that?
Yeah this is fuuuuucked. He and everyone who defended him has to go.
NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.
Everything he does to fuck with trans healthcare under the guise of "protecting children", and then he has someone on staff who very much does not protect children. It is almost like one is convenient for him and the other is not.
God I love this guy SO much, I don't think he will win next election but I'm going to put every bone in my body to try and make sure he does.
Amazing, a party leader actively standing against fascism, sadly uncommon these days!
I might be missing out the obvious that it is a feature not a bug to the state, but how tf was āGlinner is a giant flight riskā not considered with bail
This is solid "I wouldn't trust it, but I haven't seen any evidence of this actively being setup in such a way that it will with certainty lead to data leakage" territory
hmmmmm I'm mixed on this one. On one hand, the way he responded is enough that I do not trust the app. Also wouldn't use Apache for something that will be potentially hit by 3 letter agencies, too easy to knock offline. HOWEVER, it is possible the fixes were backported by something like RHEL.
Trans people are single handily keeping Pfizer alive, Rosin got to the bottom of it
BRIGHTON 1 IS UP!!!!! setting it all up now
šØ **Security alert** šØ Today, malicious versions of [`chalk` and several other packages](www.aikido.dev/blog/npm-deb...) were published to npm. We've assessed the impact to our users and believe the threat from Storybook specifically is minimal. Sharing for visibility. Stay safe out there folks!
Finally!
I honestly think everything in this country has hit me more than I hoped. I've struggled to make myself go outside today, which is a red flag for my mental health. Concerning. Will try and resolve tomorrow by going outside.
If you happen to use MCP for anything, we made a MCP server so you can get AWS/Azure instance information inside your client instances-mcp.vantage.sh
www.reddit.com/r/transgende... This is just sad. Really sad. I'm heartbroken for OP.
So glad we decided as a country this is basically the same as being a recruit for ISIS
Follow your leader.
Oh my god the āin Minecraftā defence might work in the UK
I should say at least right now for me I am debating on holiday terms. Iād like to go to New York, but that seems like a risk right now. I have Canadians to see though and Canada even if they reject me wonāt put me in a ICE centre.
Debating going to Canada
I think that's what will be desired. I think the British gov won't want it, so I expect some violence in the middle. I think it is the inevitable outcome, though.
I was going to go get a tattoo today but I was indecisive walking around with what I want, will decide for monday
Well we seemingly as a country forgot what the nazis did so that memory probably isnāt in peopleās heads
Emergency alert test, the flag wankers think this is literally 1984, hope they turn it off

Fair point, I guess they know they arenāt in this for the long haul
Well Good Friday put an end to them (not splinter groups but them, and they had resources) presuming itās upheld. Splinter groups do not have the resources they did. Burning Good Friday (probably via sleep walking into it with ECHR wars) will explode all of this.
Does she want the IRA back again? Like she does know the consequences of fucking with the ECHR relationship right? And for what? Theyāll still be eaten alive.
Yeah but look at this hard work she does to maintain her property
Do you think if the council owned your property it would just disappear from the map?
I know mastodon people like hashtags, but they are actually pretty annoying for knowing what is going on near me. I want to be able to search around the network by searching "brighton". I do think this is mostly a solved problem now, but it was a problem when I was there.
That'd be good. I didn't go into Mastodon hating the idea, quite the opposite, I just didn't want to be on a central node. I had to kill my node because it was getting so little data from everything it felt like I was only getting half the story. Plus the shit around full text search made me dislike
thanks (I'm physically fine to be clear, he didn't punch me, only threatened, thank fuck he did look like he could probably take me tbh, I really need to take self defence classes)
Some guy in Brighton Kemptown just threatened to punch me for walking and I get back and my internet is running at 2x latency dropping a bunch of packets (all within a span of like 20 mins), wtf is this night
had to take out my anti-eyebrow piercings because the left side rejected and just the right side looked weird on me, rip
Wait heās fucking off from Britain? Thatās almost good news if he doesnāt infect some other country with his crap
Iāve never got along with ActivityPub tbh. The idea that your instance is effectively siloed until everyone blesses it by interaction creates big problems when your instance can only see like 10% of things.

When you link to The Times or similar to reference something (I get there is some important stuff hitting there first because "leaks" that are actually probably just it being sent to them), please use archive.is or a similar service. Don't risk people paying or giving them visitors/adsense money
goal 1. I login with test123 as the password, have a convo 2. I login again with that password, it will work because the xor is saved and it can just use a lot of maths to do it in such a way that you don't know if the app was removed 3. entering the wrong password, app won't know, but no convos

I've seen some bad API's but one company takes the bloody biscuit, and I genuinely see their negligence as a threat to human life due to the nature of what it leaks and the doxxing it allows. Blog post after I contact them and get this fixed.
If a guy is harassing transgender people, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.
I have a interesting idea to test this "streets over tweets" plan but I have a funny feeling if I actually carried it out I'd be arrested because its a double standard for trans people vs TERFs
Itās okay to arrest pensioners protesting against genocide but not TERFs protesting for genocide
Whatās up in Churchill square
Do they ever treat Farage like this?
I think I prefer flag wankers to the current cohort of Your Party ardent defenders. At least flag wankers are open with their views however deplorable they are, these people clearly see trans people as not worth fighting for but hide it behind a time game.
If you havenāt followed the news: - Glinner was arrested and almost died - Glinner isnāt allowed on Twitter as a bail condition - JK Rowling acknowledged him whilst he canāt use Twitter This is very funny hahahah
well, left is doing a lot of legwork with that party
oh my god r/yourparty is like the flag wankers of the left
Absolutely zero reason to support Your Party now. Greens are so back.
ZACK WON WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO finally, a single party that probably won't fuck trans people too hard with also a good stance on Palestine
Someone please kill me right now.
You canāt tell me that this shop doesnāt know their audience
Imagine pretending to care about this country whilst signalling support to the flag wankers who there is a very real risk will start a civil war here.
Every win here is in spite of not due to the government or the prior one
How dare the government try to attach themselves to the successes of this wonderful city
If you have any ties to another country, you owe it to your people to mark a do not travel warning to the UK. I know, that is an extreme thing to do, but it needs to happen to protect the safety of as many as possible.
If you're a flag wanker worried about emergency alerts, I'd suggest turning it off. You can do so in your phones settings. Wouldn't want them getting life saving weather alerts.
Green should probably pact with Lib Dems (they do that anyway) presuming LD doesn't do some vast pivot (and whilst they are pro trans rights, I wish they were louder), but not Your Party. Doing so is alignment with TERF's.
tbh I'd just vote Green unless the terf gets in then fucking idk
woof
All I've seen from YP is silence on trans rights or actively trying to slice them open for public support. They will never get a shred of support from me.
