Technically, they’re Remains now.

"LGB-no-T" campaigner Julie Bindel says she'd BAN pride if she could, in order to protect children from predatory gay men. Absolutely fucking appalling. A whole column — "A Pride of Perverts" — going on like this. TERFing really cooks the brain.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Been thinking a lot lately about Anton Walbrook's monologue in the refugee office from THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COL. BLIMP (1943)

Ten years since Brexit you gave them that and now they’ve moved on to “deport anyone with an immigrant parent who fly-tips” And that folks is why you never give fascists an inch or “listen to their concerns”. What an abject failure

An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless

It bears repeating, and repeating: until there is meaningful reform of the political system here in the UK, there are no electoral solutions to our problems, and there are plenty of problems.

Look, will the money he makes for JK Rowling go to hurting and killing real people? Sure. Will Rowling stop with trans people? Of course not - it'll be autistic people next. Is anti-trans sentiment a key point of 21st century fascism? Definitely. But: he gets to play Dimply Dungus the Farting Ogre.

so small he only need 1 popcorn

Once again, the wider Union finds itself baffled by the millstone that is Northern Irish 'democracy' chained round its neck, complicated by the epic lack of knowledge and understanding of how we got here.

People still don't reailze how serious this situation is. America has a history of racial riots, white people grouping together to terrorize a community. And once one such event happens, it becomes fuel for the next. Who knows who the attackers were, so no prosecution or punishment. Just fame.

He should be in prison for treason, not just being mildly criticised at dinner parties

British newspaper headline, huge: IS THIS INSANE FAR RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORY ACTUALLY TRUE? British newspaper subhead, in the smallest font possible: no, but we thought we’d discuss it at length anyway

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

It’s so illogical to me that there are grown adults with proper jobs who quite happily square their belief that charities and human rights experts and so on can be right about everything apart from trans rights and that fascists and dictators can be wrong about everything apart from trans rights

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.

Opened up a gloriously silly second hand pulp paperback, and my instant thought was Listen to Blood Work @bloodwork.show

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

RIP to the icon, Catherine O'Hara.

Reform, the Bin Juice Tories

My favourite 2024 election stat is that more 2019 Tory voters swung to being dead than swung to Labour

“Most people already supported gay rights” Lol Section 28 was still in place and at my first job I didn’t come out which was wise as the manager in a meeting about supervisor appointments announced that he “wouldn’t be promoting any poofs”
