I keep thinking about a woman on the other place years back, who came into my @s about her little whatsapp school gate clique getting a drag artist cancelled from her kids school. She DESPERATELY wanted absolution rom me. She knew what her gang of bigots had done was abominable. Shun these arseholes

As a queer children's author, this is a deeply unsettling trend. www.thebookseller.com/news/lgbtq-a...

A musician friend of mine also has synaesthesia. Consequently his song-writing looks like this.

decided to finally write about a type of synesthesia i have, please don't be weird about it

The great thing about Britain is you're free to think whatever you want to think and say whatever J. K. Rowling's lawyers permit you to say.

as I thought “the scorer looks young” they cut to him celebrating with a little shoulder ride from one of the daddy footballers

Right, thanks to [redacted] and a little exercise and therapy I am feeling a lot better again. Trying to decide if this means I am good to post more crap on social media, or I was right to stay the hell away. Reckon I might start posting a little nonsense every now and then and see how it goes.

“Thought you were supposed to be against hate and intolerance” nope. I’m for justice, and that requires hating injustice and those who seek to uphold it. You can’t be tolerant of people who are intolerant of your mere existence, because that’s not tolerance, it’s submission.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Worth reading the thread and realising that we're all the same, just a few thousand years later.

Love how the human response of piss-taking goes so far back

genuinely actually wonderful, this makes my life better

Properly laughed at this.

what a great thread :-)

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)

Acting is a famously undersubscribed profession so thank goodness we’re finally plugging that gap in the market with digitally created actors. All that surplus work & 100% actor employment rates were a tough burden to bear.

when AI companies go bankrupt

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

Back on the other site, years ago, there was a thread about the most pretentious thing people had ever overheard. Someone said they witnessed a guy at an ice cream van asking for 'two Magna'.

“Saw a museum exhibition of nudes in London yesterday.” “Really? The V & A?” “Yep, some boobs and balls too”.

I think England should probably practise playing football during half time.

What is this hydration break bullshit, the men should not be hydrated. They should be dry, begging for the moisture of a half time orange (their only allowance), and brittle to the touch.

"Sky News has verified the identities of everyone from the school who was killed. 120 students, 73 boys & 47 girls, aged from 6 to 13, & 26 teachers, who were killed in the strike". Tom Cheshire reports on the primary school bombed by the US. 120 children & 26 teachers, all murdered.

A generation of children confined to exclusively posting on LinkedIn, humbled to share that they have been recognised as thought leaders in vertically integrating your mom's supply chain.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say (tech) capitalism is alienating (making strangers) of us at a staggering scale. Alienating us from ourselves, each other, touch, feeling, thoughts…from the intimacy and care of touch, bedtime stories, prayers, poems, drawings, community, love

Um...

Still looking for my room. I've just met two wizards, one of whom always tells the truth and one who lies.

Not so good without oxygen are you, Ronaldo

On balance, I think monetising people sending themselves slowly insane was a bad move.

It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute. My letter to the cabinet office. 👇🏼

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

I know it’s exhausting to do this endlessly but do write to your Labour MP opposing Labour’s bathroom ban. The party does this because it thinks it’s making the problem go away.

First glance at the CoP and it’s so fucking bad, like stating that trans inclusion will constitute unlawful harassment and that protecting women’s dignity (hint: by excluding trans people) is a legitimate aim Written and approved by by some seriously sick, twisted people

Gov straight up admitting that any attempts at gender policing are unworkable because "There is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex." So bin it??

The argument that you're the only thing standing in the way of a Reform government holds less water the more far-right policies you enact.

Destroy the Labour Party.

Even violence, state or otherwise, will not stop me living my life. I will not change a single thing about how I've been living for over a decade regardless of what some new garbage "guidance" might say. If they made it illegal to breathe I'd still do it. Fuck you

you see, I'm an immigrant, a lifelong "other" and I call bullshit. Abolish the Home Office (abolish the sambowmans too)

May not keep this one up too long, but here is a temperature check of where we are at these days with formerly 'just a normal classical liberal' types
