Read Paddy Power and Betfair to pay £2m settlement after failing to protect users by Rob Davies

Sorry, how many seconds of income does this “penalty” equate to? Oh, it actually says in the article:

The £2m settlement agreed between Flutter and the Gambling Commission is equivalent to slightly less than two hours worth of takings for the company

So, that’s like me getting a £50 fine. For more context, the (maximum) fines for littering in central London range from around £200 to £500…

Read Biggest schools shake-up in England in a decade to cut GCSE exam time - and add AI and fake news lessons by Anjum Peerbacos
The government will reduce GCSE exam time by up to three hours per student, introduce new Year 8 tests, and teach primary pupils how to identify misinformation under sweeping curriculum reforms.

Data Science is billed as one of the “professions” most at risk from AI, so not sure how this makes sense:

“This comes alongside the government exploring a new qualification for 16-18 year olds in data science and AI, with a view to encourage more young people into science and tech careers.”

Sir Steve Watson, the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, said:

“this injury may have been sustained as [an] unforeseen consequence of the urgently required action taken by my officers to bring this vicious attack to an end.”

Personally, if you consider death following the discharge of a firearm an “unforeseen consequence”, I think you’re doing something wrong. Seems more like an inevitable consequence to me. Bloody stupid thing to say.

Read My Visit to the Trans-Inclusive Vagina Museum by Michaela YoungMichaela Young
Placards declare "Menstrual blood is the equivalent of semen" and all references to women are removed

Well, this was illuminating. I had no idea TERFs hated trans-men as much as they hated trans-women. Obviously (?) I’m no expert but I struggle to see how the feminist principles that identify trans-women as a further degradation of female make sense in reverse. If anything the “trans-inclusive” nature of the Vagina Museum is to support “men who mensturate” and focus on physiology rather than sex/gender. If TERFs regard trans-women as men, then surely trans-men are simply women like any other? I guess that’s the TERF objection, then; the museum should be, in their view, intrinsically and overtly about women.
