🧵 (reposted) on the only big change to the @EHRC Code of Practice made at the behest of @bphillipson: the new paras 12.74 and 12.75 on multi protected characteristic associations... 
1 This is about *associations* only. It’s a legal interpretation allowing membership of an association to be restricted to those who have either one or the other of two (or more) protected characteristics…
2 The Equality Act on its face doesn’t allow this mix & match
It only allows an association to be restricted to people who all share one protected characteristic (eg “women only) or who *all* share more than one PC (eg “disabled women only”)…

There is of course plenty of variation across the country, so please do check the map itself.
In the south Kent, Reading, and central London are above 5%. Essex seems to be bouncing around just below that level.

Worcestershire is still over 5%, but that's a massive decline from its persistent problem levels over the last few months.
Bedford, Luton, Walsall, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Stoke-on-Trent are all showing growth.

Targets matter in fantasy football
Looking at last year's numbers + new info vs this year's ADP to find value picks:
Chris Olave (ADP WR 13) 2025 WR 8 in PPG. WR 5 in total targets.
The Saints are one of the NFL's fastest-paced offenses
QB play ⬆️
Minimal target competition

Emeka Egbuka (ADP WR 18) 2025 WR 35 PPG. WR 9 in total targets.
Mike Evans is gone.
Chris Godwin is another year older.
Egbuka was top 20 in TPRR (0.26)
He was also top 25 in YPRR among all WRs lined up outside.

Michael Wilson (ADP WR 39) 2025 WR 20 PPG. WR 10 in total targets.
Wilson was a stud with Jacoby Brissett under center and Marvin Harrison Jr. missing time.
Weeks 11-18 saw Wilson score less than 15 fantasy points just twice. He accounted for six receiving TDs in that span.
In that stretch, MH Jr. played in just three games and saw seven targets.
The big question fantasy players want to know is, can Wilson perform with Harrison Jr. in the lineup? If he can, he's a massive bargain at ADP.

SCOOP: The U.S. has depleted much of its inventory of advanced missile-defense interceptors after expending far more high-end munitions defending Israel than Israeli forces used themselves, per DOD assessments of Operation Epic Fury 🧵
The US fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors in defense of Israel — roughly half of the Pentagon’s total inventory — along with more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors. By contrast, Israel fired fewer than 100 of its Arrow and around 90 David Sling interceptors
Military analysts said the data offers a rare window into how the US and Israel work together.
“The numbers are striking,” said @ka_grieco. “The US absorbed most of the missile defense mission while Israel conserved its own magazines...”

🚨🧵Why America Can’t Stop Trump
Donald Trump is broadly unpopular.
That much is true.
His approval ratings are underwater. Independents are fleeing Republicans like they have herpes. The economy is dragging him down. Inflation from his dumbass tariffs are dragging him down. Gas price spikes from the Iran War is dragging him down. His billion dollar ballroom is weighing him down.

Democrats are poised to win big in the fall midterms.
And yet none of that changes the central reality of American politics in 2026: America can’t stop Trump.
America cannot stop Donald Trump because he is supported by what amounts to a political cult. Not only would MAGA still support Trump if he shot someone on 5th Avenue, they would pull the trigger for him themselves if he asked them to do it.

Every constitutional mechanism capable of stopping him and holding him accountable requires the support of elected Republicans — and Republicans now operate inside a political system where opposing Trump is political suicide.
Trump’s approval among the MAGA base comes close to 100%.
Think about that. After raising prices he promised to lower on Day 1, covering up for his fellow Epstein cronies, and reneging on his most important brand of “no new wars,” these motherfuckers are like, “thank you sir, may we have another!”

In 1953, a 29-year-old lawyer got divorced. Lost his house. Lost everything.
A year later, his son was diagnosed with leukemia. Incurable.
He would hold his dying boy in the hospital. Then walk the streets of Pasadena crying.
His son died at 9. He was 31. Broke. Divorced. Burying his child.
He never turned to alcohol. He said: "Self-pity is always counterproductive."
He built a framework of mental models from every field. Said 80 models could solve nearly any problem in business or life.
Warren Buffett called him "the architect" of Berkshire Hathaway. Now worth $1 trillion.
His name was Charlie Munger. Died at 99. Worth $2.6 billion.
I turned his philosophy into 12 prompts.
Here are all 12:

Warren Buffett called him "the architect" of Berkshire Hathaway. Now worth $1 trillion.
His name was Charlie Munger. Died at 99. Worth $2.6 billion.
I turned his philosophy into 12 prompts.
Here are all 12:
1. Inversion Thinking
Munger borrowed a line from the mathematician Jacobi: "Invert, always invert." Instead of asking how to succeed, ask how to fail. Then avoid those things. He applied this to every decision at Berkshire Hathaway. As he put it: "All I want to know is where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there." Most people chase success. Munger systematically eliminated stupidity.
PROMPT-
"I'm facing a major decision and I want to avoid catastrophic mistakes. Here is my situation: [describe]. Using Charlie Munger's Inversion Thinking framework, analyze my position:
1. Instead of asking how this succeeds, what are the top 3 ways this could fail or blow up? Munger said to invert the problem first.
2. What would a fool do in my position? What is the most common path to disaster for someone in my exact situation?
3. What am I assuming will go right that I have no control over? Which of those assumptions, if wrong, would be fatal?
4. If I were advising my worst enemy to destroy themselves in this situation, what would I tell them to do? Am I doing any of those things?
5. Give me one specific action I can take this week to eliminate the single biggest risk you identified above."

5. Give me one specific action I can take this week to eliminate the single biggest risk you identified above."
2. The Latticework Method
Munger's signature concept. He said you need a "latticework of mental models" drawn from every major discipline. Psychology, physics, biology, economics, history.
In his 1994 USC speech he explained: "80 or 90 important models carry about 90% of the freight in making you a worldly-wise person."
One model gives you a hammer. A latticework gives you the whole toolbox.
PROMPT-
"I'm trying to solve a complex problem and I need to think across multiple disciplines. Here is my situation: [describe]. Using Charlie Munger's Latticework Method, analyze my position:
1. What are the 3 most relevant mental models from different fields (psychology, economics, biology, physics, history) that apply to my situation? Name each model and explain how it maps.
2. Where am I using only one mental model like a hammer looking for nails? What am I missing because of my single-discipline lens?
3. Munger said 80 to 90 models cover 90% of problems. Which models from my blind spots would change my entire analysis if I applied them?
4. What historical parallel from a completely different field matches my situation? What happened there, and what does it predict for me?
5. Give me one specific way to combine two of these models this week to produce an insight I could not get from either one alone."

NEW: @jessesingal with new revelations, based on FOIAs, about the Johanna Olson-Kennedy-led, @NIH-funded ($10m) research initiative on pediatric gender medicine. 🧵
NIH was misled with help from @wpath and @TheEndoSociety.
NIH was misled with help from @wpath and @TheEndoSociety.
Olson-Kennedy and her colleagues intended to study the effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in minors.
NIH initially "expressed qualms" about the proposed study being observational rather experimental. Singal explains the difference, and why it matters.

With support from @wpath and @TheEndoSociety, however, Olson-Kennedy told NIH that the treatments are known to work and that withholding them (i.e., having a control group) would be unethical.
OK - now at presser by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch and Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI New York Field Office James Barnacle "to brief the media on recent cases" - Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below

Commish Tisch: I want to thank Jay Clayton... The extremist who moves to real-world danger, those cases demand more than one office. The World Cup and 250th Anniversary of our country is coming. We partner, as we'll discuss

Kerkhoff v. Blaze Media LLC
Steve Baker, Joseph Hanneman, and their company Veritas Regnat LLC have failed to respond to the libel and slander lawsuit brought against them over their erroneous claims that former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff was responsible for the J5 Pipe Bombs.
The judge has ordered the clerk to file an entry of default against them and for the plaintiffs to file a motion for default judgment.

Blaze Media, which was also sued, has filed an unopposed motion for more time to respond to the suit. The judge gave them until June 11, 2026.
In public responses to the lawsuit, Baker has put on a "bring it on!" act, as if he were eager to fight it, to show what evidence he supposedly has, and to use the discovery process to expose some conspiracy to frame Brian J. Cole for the J5 pipe bombs when all along it was Shauni Kerkhoff who planted them as part of a sinister "fedsurrection" plot... or something.
