I have some heavy DNS filtering and the site still loads fine in Vanadium on GrapheneOS. Many sites refuse to load in the way you describe and it is annoying, but I didn’t know this site was doing that.

- Comment on Police Threaten to Arrest Anyone Helping Protesters at Palestine Action Demo 1 week ago:
So they’ll arrest anyone supporting Palestinians by supporting Palestine Action, and they’ll sentence them as terrorists even if there are no charges of terrorism. And they’ll arrest anyone supporting the people supporting Palestinians by supporting Palestine Action. And now they’ll arrest anyone supporting the people supporting the people supporting Palestinians by supporting Palestine Action. What on earth are they going to do if people show up supporting the people supporting the people supporting the people supporting Palestinians by supporting Palestine Action? If they keep this up, will it expand exponentially until they’ve arrested everyone in the UK by next Tuesday?

Hmm, and no explosives found, despite all the statements that these guys were going to do massive damage. It smelled like propaganda yesterday, and now it smells like a propaganda cockup.

- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 1 month ago:
I found this article interesting because it discusses the complexity of regret and of estimating rates of regret, and it discusses why the estimates vary so widely:
slate.com/…/transgender-youth-health-care-regret-…
Neither detransition nor regret are simple concepts. Transition, as with all social phenomena, is complex. You can stop taking hormones and still be trans. You can regret taking steps that alienate you from your family, even as you wish your family would accept you living how you want to live. You can even regret some aspects of a treatment (any kind of medical treatment!) while being grateful for the knowledge you gained by trying it out. Regret doesn’t always mean that people wish they hadn’t transitioned, it just means that there are some parts of the story that they long to change.
- Comment on Baroness Cass wants to push age for starting transitioning to 25 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics) 1 month ago:
That would make it so much more difficult for people and cause so much needless suffering. I know people who left it late to start transitioning, and some of them struggle with regret that they didn’t do it earlier while their body was still developing. Why should trans women who know as a teen that they want to transition have to suffer a decade of living with a body and an identity they find unbearable every day? How many more people will succumb to despair along the way? It’s cruel, which I suppose is usually the point.

- Comment on Fewer People 55-And-Over Choose To Work. But Why? 2 months ago:
The phrasing of this headline is a bit infuriating. Work has never been a free choice for me, and it’s less so now than ever before. I’m old and I can’t ever afford to retire, but no one wants a new employee my age. So if I lose this job I am afraid I’ll become homeless. I’m healthy and smart and capable and better at my work than I’ve ever been, but experience isn’t valued and youth is. So maybe soon I’ll be one of the people they count as “choosing” not to work but to beg on the street.

You’re still too kind to them. Even if they did this they’d be giving equal attention to different parties and apply critical thinking equally to them. In reality studies have shown they spend disproportionate time on Reform at the expense of the Lib Dems and Greens, and tend to be less critical towards Reform’s messaging than other parties, often simply reading out Reform’s statements while being critical of the other parties.
