Watched @Channel4 #GenderWars 3x now & perhaps wish I'd phrased a few things differently but I stand by my contribution & absolutely support the airing of the varied other voices from across the Sex/Gender "debate" spectrum. We need to talk & that may mean breaking ranks to do so

BREAKING: Ukraine has carried out the world’s first medical evacuation of a human via a drone from the battlefield the 30th mechanised brigade of Ukraine managed to save their injured comrade from a minefield.
Just absolutely insane.
Poll finds 50% jump in a year of Republicans who say Trump is enriching himself to 33%.
The US President's approval rating is net minus 33, with 66% disapproving to 33% approving, a record low ahead of the Midterms.

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

We don’t use Starlink for our responses inside Russia. We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered “shaheds” that attack our civilians and kill families.
Starlink wasn’t turned off – its speed was reduced. And when the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept a certain number of jet-powered “shaheds.” We couldn’t use a tool that helps protect people. That’s very painful and frustrating.
We also use Starlink for mid-range strikes against enemy military targets in our temporarily occupied territories. We couldn’t do that when the restrictions were in place. And third, what matters most is people. Our warriors, who spend weeks and months on the front line, receive food and water delivered by drones using Starlink.
Has the speed been fully restored to what it was before? No. Is it being restored now? Yes.

"The good news: few Muslims want to subvert European democracy
The bad news: there is no easy way to counter those who do" @TheEconomist @EconUS
Replying to @zannymb
I asked my colleagues across Europe to take a deep dive into what is, and isn’t, true about the impact of Islam in the region. Their analysis concludes that Europe faces no Islamic takeover, no mass radicalisation of Muslims and no erasure of its culture bit.ly/4r7sSaN

The Alternative for Germany party defines the family exclusively as a mother, father, and their children. @Alice_Weidel, the party’s co-leader, explains why she supports that description while raising two children with her wife. Watch the full Insider interview with @zannymb: bit.ly/47u7QKu

A bear sneakily wandered through a library in Mammoth Lakes, California.
Human-bear encounters are on the rise this year in at least 15 states. Across the country, agencies received more bear-related calls than last year.

In The Times welfare project, a few findings - when they emerged - took my breath away.
This graph showing surge in Britain’s “deaths of despair” (due to drugs, suicide, alcohol) is one.
Plunging in Europe. Soaring here. Why?

Disabled people can now report media coverage that scapegoats and stigmatises them and contributes to the hostile environment many of them face in their daily lives, thanks to a new campaign.

Civil servants have been told not to challenge trans women who wrongly use female lavatories.
Guidance published on Thursday states that trans people in Whitehall departments should only use the lavatories and changing rooms of their biological sex, not their gender identity.
However, it also warned staff against “confronting” biological men using the wrong facilities, saying it could “amount to unlawful harassment”.
