Remember the petition about "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" & the response saying "Those selling games must comply with UK consumer law. They must provide clear information and allow continued access to games if sold on the understanding that they will remain playable indefinitely."
Well the Petitions Committee has stepped in and say it did not respond directly to the petitiion request
The legitimacy and composition of the US Supreme Court can be challenged by bills submitted and passed by Congress. It might not happen right away, but it is time to insist on such actions. Here's one:
The United States is the only major constitutional democracy on Earth that allows lifetime tenure for judges on its highest court.
A bill in Congress, the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act, would institute term limits of 18 years for Supreme Court justices.
Do not ban transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards
The Health Secretary has said that transgender hospital patients in England may be banned from being treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act of 2010. It cannot go ahead.

And now the cleanup can begin. Dear #EBU, you have a lot of explaining to do. Overdubbing the booing from the audience. Disqualifying the Netherlands. This years #Eurovision was filled with wonderful music and artists, but your politics, dear EBU, yes, YOUR politics at this event, where you loudly claim it’s unpolitical — it stinks.

The UK Gov petition for "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" has had a response as it's passed 10k signatures.
The response is long and for once detailed, with some interesting points
Official #petition to formally (or at least informally) re-name modern macOS and all derivates (iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, bongOS, backscratcherOS, whatever) to "poopBSD."
'MURICAN:
"Yo bro, what're ya runnin' there?"
"💩BSD lol YOLO"
"BOGUS, man! Such cap. You coulda run a REAL BSD, or at least Asahi, poser!"
BRIT:
"Jolly ho, my good man. What have you running there on yon slab of aluminium?" (al-YOU-min-EE-um)
"'s ShiteBSD, innit?" (SHY-te)
"Bad show, dear fellow. Bad show indeed!"
FRANÇAIS/CANADIENNE:
"Salut mon ami, qu'est-ce que c'est sur votre macbook?" (mak-buuk)
"Alors, c'est MerdeBSD, L'incroyable nouveau OS de la Pomme!" (bay-ess-day, oh-ess)
"Crétin!! Imbécile!!!"
Twice in one day I have to shout "what in the actual fuck?"
Apparently #paramountPlus decided to cancel Star Trek: Lower Decks, ending with the 5th season.
It's bad enough "seasons" these days are an anemic 10 episodes (if that!), and then they get cancelled while still going strong? ugh..
