'Vulnerable' 🤣🤣🤣

Your phone charger can electrocute a toddler who pokes a fork into the socket. The British plug cannot. That difference comes from a 1947 engineering project that refused every shortcut and turned a household plug into one of the most deliberately safe objects ever mass-produced. Britain published BS 1363 in 1947, built for the post-war housing boom. The country was wiring millions of new homes at once and needed one standard that would work safely for everyone. They picked the most paranoid option available. The earth pin (the large top prong) is longer than the other two. When you push a British plug in, the earth pin goes in first. Inside the socket, it presses a lever that opens two metal shutters covering the live and neutral slots. A fork pushed into an empty British socket hits only shutters. The shutters block it. The two conducting pins are also coated in plastic for their lower half. A plug halfway out of the wall is still safe to touch. You would have to pull it completely clear before any live metal is exposed. Inside every plug is its own fuse. UK homes wire their sockets in a loop called a ring circuit, which runs at 32 amps, enough to melt a lamp's cord if the cord fails. So each plug carries a fuse matched to the appliance: 3 amps for a lamp, 13 for a kettle. When something goes wrong in your appliance's wiring, only that plug's fuse blows. The standard US plug (flat two-pin or three-pin) has none of the pin coating and no individual fuse. American building codes began requiring shuttered outlets in new construction in 2008, decades after Britain made shutters standard. Even those newer shuttered versions lack pin coating and plug-level fuses. Britain's plug is bulky because a fuse, a shutter mechanism, insulated pins, and three contact prongs all need room. The plug looks the way it does because safety engineers refused to sacrifice any of those features to make it smaller, and that decision is now 79 years old.

So: which one?

For all the attention given to other forms of prejudice, classism remains largely overlooked, despite often doing the most damage. It's woven into our institutions, our culture, and the way we judge people. While every other inequality gets endless discussion, class remains the elephant in the room. Your accent, postcode, job, and background will shape how you're treated, what opportunities come your way and whether you are or aren't believed, yet classism is rarely given the attention it deserves.

Give this guy a follow, he's having the time of his life just now and it's lovely.

Magnificent

Friday Rant! Stop trying to enlighten them. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Stop trying to persuade them that women and children matter. They already know. They know why women’s prisons exist. They know why women’s sports exist. They know why men shouldn’t share locker rooms with girls. They know children cannot consent to being medically transitioned. They know drag queen shows are inappropriate for children. They know humans can’t change sex. The mistake is assuming that if you could only explain it they would change course. But the consequences are not a bug, they’re a feature. The quiet part isn’t quiet anymore. When someone rolls their eyes at female safeguarding concerns, that IS their response. When someone dismisses parents clear, logical objections, they are telling you what they believe. When someone demands that women and children live with huge risks, they are communicating loud and clear. Their priorities are not in their slogans. Their hashtags. Their mission statements. But their actions. Wisdom is watching what people do, not what they say, and after years of watching, one conclusion becomes impossible to ignore: They already know - The only question left worth asking is WHY.

In the dead of night the Scots arrived at the Airbnb across the street. Decked out and playing the pipes at 6:30 am. So it begins…

Well worth reading. Lammy's proposals are getting the treatment they deserve.

Dear friends and supporters of free speech, I am Eldur, a gay man from Iceland who has spent years speaking out against the sexualisation, medicalisation and sterilisation of gender non conforming children and the erosion of gay rights, women’s rights and free expression. Today, 9 June 2026, I am standing in Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur (Reykjavík District Court) facing a lawsuit brought by Ugla Stefanía Kristjónudóttir Jónsdóttir — co-author of the notorious Dentons “playbook” and Reykjavík City’s “transgender issues specialist” — simply because I called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on minors what they are: child abuse. The preliminary hearing is imminent. The case is moving forward. And right now, £6,000 (just under one million ISK) in legal fees is due immediately to keep my defence alive. This is not just about me. This is a SLAPP-style attempt to bankrupt and silence a gay man who refuses to lie about sex, biology, and the safeguarding of children. Ugla’s lawsuit is designed to scare anyone who dares question the current orthodoxy. If it succeeds, it sets a precedent that critics of gender ideology can be dragged through the courts and financially ruined for telling the truth. I have no big organisation behind me. I am an ordinary Icelander relying on the goodwill of people worldwide who still believe in evidence-based safeguarding, free speech, and the right of gay men to say that men are not women and that kids need protection. £6,000 is needed now — today — to pay the next tranche of legal costs and continue the fight. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference. If you believe children should not be sterilised, that women’s spaces should remain sex-based, and that gay people should not be cancelled for defending biological reality, please stand with me. Donate here to my legal fundraiser:
gofundme.com/f/help-me-defen… (GoFundMe is in euros but converts automatically; every pound/euro goes directly to my legal defence.) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support keeps this fight going when the activists want me silenced and broke. With gratitude,
Eldur Smári Kristinsson
Icelandic gay man, free-speech advocate, and defendant in the fight for truth. Share this. Donate if you can. The children — and free speech — are counting on us. 🙏

This is almost too insane and weird to believe, but it's actually happening.

This is brilliant, @ZoeNope

Poppies at RSPB Ham Wall last weekend. 😍 I've always loved Poppies, but I rarely see them in the countryside anymore. 😔🌸

The idea that any man “passes” as a woman to the point of anyone thinking he could potentially get pregnant is a delusion. Gender ideology requires human instincts be ignored, including the very clear skill of humans being able to accurately & subconsciously identify the sex of another person seemingly instinctively. It happens every day, even towards people who are desperate to reject their sex. Even the most common “gotcha” of Thai “ladyboys” isn’t a gotcha, as they’re only used as an example *because* everyone knows they’re men. Pretty men are still men. It is Owellian doublethink to even suggest that someone might mistake a man for a “potentially pregnant” woman. It’s nonsense. It’s incoherent. It’s bullshit.

Amazing scenes in Somerset... 😉🐦❤️

Men: Can we come into women's spaces, play women's sports & have you recognise us as women? Women: No Men: How about if we dress up as women? Women: No Men: How about if we call ourselves women? Women: No Men: How about if the Scottish Government pretends we're women? Women: No Men: How about if we beat you up? Women: No Men: How about if we lie & say we've actually changed sex? Women: No Men: How about if we complain about you & you lose your job? Women: No Men: How about if loads of huge corporations pretend we're women too? Women: No Men: How about if we call you a nazi & say that you hate all men? Women: No Men: How about if we pump our bodies full of drugs & have a baby suckle on our nipple? Women: No Men: How about if we tell you we've lied before & you didn't object strongly enough? Women: No Men: How about if we try to cancel your events? Women: No Men: How about if we punch pensioners? Women: No Men: How about if we pretend that you're not feminists if you refuse to prioritise our euphoria? Women: No Men: How about we force you to raise millions of £s to defend your spaces from us? Women: No Men: How about we don't care that you've said no, you probably mean yes, so we're doing it anyway. Women: Are you fuck.

This is bizarre, isn't it!

Exactly, Sharon. Here are the 2 changing rooms in my nearest branch in Devon. Absolutely illegal.

Does Australia realise that the world is pointing and laughing at them?
