Space Invaders. Looks like I'm shooting some spaceships!

It is. They are complying with the law to the letter with the sole aim of pissing off the lawmakers, and succeeding.

Reading the article, it seems that the Co-op are trying their best, in light of the government's shitfuckery.

The updated policy instead says that, wherever possible, the retailer will provide individual, lockable gender-neutral facilities, with decisions about access to gendered spaces made “sensitively and on a case-by-case basis,” as reported by The Sunday Times.

The change follows the UK Supreme Court’s April 2025 ruling on the legal meaning of “woman” and “man”, as well as new guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) stating that single-sex spaces should be provided based on biological sex.

A spokesperson for the Co-op, which has been a vocal supporter of trans rights, said it updated the policy following legal advice and consultation with its staff networks “to ensure compliance with our legal obligations and to support our trans, non-binary and intersex colleagues”, in a statement to The Sunday Times.

Imagine being high walking into this bathroom!

Shit it's real

This is so on-the-nose it hurts.

Not sure really. It's been a slow progression for me from dead centre on the political compass over into anarcho-socialist territory.

That said, my taste for punk rock, the feeling of betrayal over my government's stance on trans rights, and hearing about the shit that world governments get away with without repurcussion definititely helped.

Immense damage has been done to the short-term and long-term health of the USA and several other countries. Measles had been eradicated, for fuck's sake!

Literally just walk into CeX (or any non-British equivalent) and there will be at least three on display.

I did also briefly own a PS2 Slim, but my mum got rid of it because I didn't use it enough (I still have my Wii to this day, though).

Ken Thompson and Doug McIlroy are still around. I can't seem to find an interview about such things, as interviewers tend to focus on the early days of UNIX and suchlike; but they do both have public email addresses, so we could always ask.

I'll look into it! Although, I did just move to slrpnk.net...

Guess I'm returning to Lemmy, then...
