Turns out the British public has more positive views of lgbt people than the British media would suggest. Cis lesbians are tied with cis bisexual for expressing the most supportive views on trans people

Some encouraging news.
Really glad they did this research - especially because YouGov is a credible, well-regarded, and fairly accurate pollster. They're one of the most prominent polling organizations in the UK. So it's not like just anyone is giving these numbers - you can have a fair amount of confidence in them.
Given British media and assholes online, I definitely would not have called that cis lesbians and cis bisexuals are tied for most supportive of trans people. Very, very nice to hear.

Shut up. That’s hilarious. I hope each and every cop involved has to personally give him $5000
i just remembered how there was this pizza place i went to regularly when i lived near houston, and i never really went to the restroom of the place so after going there for like two years regularly i went to the restroom for the first time and saw this
a taxidermied massive rat glued to what was previously a shelf for a private toll phone with an engraved metal plate bolted to the wall behind him that said REST IN PEACE "WOODY" NOVEMBER 29TH 2000. and thats not some random date i picked that is the day of my birth. i just kinda stood there thinking about how this rat died the same day i was born. i was like nine years old i couldnt quite concieve it yet and it didnt help that a south park pinball machine was blaring at max volume directly behind me as i just looked at this massive rat
ur the reincarnation of that rat
You just can’t stay away from that place huh

I see US tech jounalists on Mastodon, once again, charging against the EU for "damaging european users" by forcing companies to deliver "a subpar experience". So let me paste something I wrote over there a few weeks ago:
------
I keep seeing very important US tech journalist here talking about how Threads not launching in the EU is:
- somehow shameful and a sign of how "you can't innovate in the EU"
- a problem for the EU, which will led us to creative interpretations of the GDPR to finally allow Meta to launch here.
And I think folks from the US tech scene really, really don't understand several things:
1) how incredibly hostile the EU (and a good chunk of the European political parties) are to "big tech".
2) how surprisingly immune to lobbying the EU Parliament appears to be.
3) how actually popular it's that the politicians take a hard stance against macrocorps. Every time the European Commission has gone against big tech most the press and the people have cheered them as our champions against evil.
And I can't even start describing how IMPORTANT for the future could be that people started being able to turn off YouTube algorithmic recommendations. I think YouTube shares with meta, pretty much 50/50, the responsibility for the global resurgence of fascism we have seen in the last decade.
