We are precisely 19 sales away from hitting our stretch goal of $6969.69 for this Lesbian Visibility Week bundle! holy heck we might actually do it? We have 10 hours left but WE CAN DO IT. You get: - Books of all genres - Comics of multiple genres - TTRPGS both solo and group itch.io/b/3635/

Ostensibly rational people freely and enthusiastically embracing conspiracy theories as a psychological coping mechanism is bad, actually. I feel like we've come full circle back to the early 2000s.

This. An administration this incompetent and stupid is unlikely to have masterminded not one but multiple assassinations so airtight and seamless that there hasn't been any leaks. Be open minded, but no so open minded your brain falls out.

💫 Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunner Maksym shot down a Russian cruise missile for the first time, does not hold back his emotions!

Polls predict Labour will lose 74% of the 2,557 councillors up for election in May. If so, it will be the biggest single loss for a PM's party since 1995. Given everything else the party has been embroiled in, I don't see how Starmer comes through that and survives as leader.

Bringing an old twitter thread over here. I like to compare Lucasfilm's and streaming Star Trek's work to Impressionist and Renaissance paintings. Despite having less detail, examples on the left look better than the ones on the right due to use of light and color. 1/

One thing I do wish we could get away from is the idea that you can somehow discern the entire range of someone's beliefs from their expressed beliefs on one particular issue. We should be able to engage with each issue on its own merits, instead of gatekeeping identity or projecting.

Switched on the news as I eating lunch and the social media/age verification thing came up again, and It'd just like to restate that it is the job of parents to, well... parent their children. They need to pull their fucking finger out, sorry not sorry.

Calculating percentages completely incorrectly isn't a "different way" of calculating percentages, in much the same way that chopping your dick off isn't a "different way" of performing a circumcision.

The UK seemingly wants: > Strong growth but no immigration > Quality public services but low tax > Equality but injustice for the marginalised > Great infrastructure & housing but no building Which is all exactly why it's a failing society & will continue to be so.

When I say that these so-called 'gender criticals' are genocidal in their intent, what is happening to Dr Upton is intrinsic to that desire The GC message is this: No matter where you go, no matter where you hide, we will find you - and we will make your life a hell only death can save you from

Apparently, Fash Patel is threatening to sue anyone who calls him "J. Edgar Boozer." So definitely don't call him J. Edgar Boozer. This is a public service announcement that we shouldn't spread the name J. Edgar Boozer. Tell everyone you know not to call Fash Patel the name J. Edgar Boozer.

The thing about tech billionaires is that they are all desperately weird, lame, uncool freaks.

Space breakthrough: British scientists reveal most detailed 3D map of the universe that captures millions of galaxies https://www.europesays.com/uk/908151/ British scientists have unveiled the most comprehensive three-dimensional map of the cosmos ever assembled, marking the conclusion of…

Britain, like any other Westminster-style Parliamentary democracy, doesn't have "midterms" or anything close to it. The British right are positively embarrassed to be British and so spend their days wistfully hoping for the time they can proudly claim their new status as serfs of Washington.

We'll get Half-Life 3 before we get Winds of Winter.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

He's either leading a government of incompetence, or he's a liar.

I’m actually surprised that in all the talk of fleeing the US no one ever talks about the fact that Australia makes it relatively easy for skilled workers to get citizenship and their definition of skilled workers is different that you might expect.

Respect of a person's identity being contingent on one's approval of said person's behaviour means you don't respect that group as a whole. All of this "she brought it on herself, she deserves it" is just the "what was she wearing? she asked for it" defence.

Thanks. I can't stand the woman but deadnaming and misgendering as methods of "punishment" imply that our identities are conditional. They are not.

Just because Caitlyn Jenner is an objectively horrible person doesn’t mean it’s okay to deadname her. Please don’t.

No.

Ilhan Omar & now David Hogg trying to rehabilitate Marjorie Taylor Greene & embrace her into the Dems. No, Jewish space laser lady & person who helped peddle hateful conspiracies about *school shooting victims* doesn't deserve a second chance. What are you even doing here?

What in the fuck is that on the left? Looks like a lump of dehydrated burnt beehive next to a piece of boiled shoe insole.

Right-wingers spend an inordinate amount of time fretting over teenage girls not getting pregnant as much as they used to. THAT'S A GOOD THING. Notably, anti-careers-for-women pick-me Miller waited until she was 29 before having her first child, 6 years after becoming comfortable in her career.

Great first step, but it also needs to be banned wholesale from being used by any company in any industry for any reason.

New law proposal: make it illegal for companies to advertise a role as "Remote" if in the small-print they then say "there's an expectation that you'll be in the office X days per week/month." That's not remote then, is it?

All the bleating I've seen about the price of fuel at the pump has led me to believe that we really need intensive classes in school to cover global supply chains and the concept of supply-and-demand. We can do that while transitioning away from oil and into clean energy.

Right, so it's ok for useless rich white men to emigrate to other countries because they're too selfish to pay their fair share of tax, but it's not ok for desperate refugees to emigrate to other countries because they're fleeing war, poverty, and destitution? Proposal: 🧵

I'm surprised that he was even aware of what was said, between having his son check his porn history and being Trump's footstool there's not much he's usually aware of.

Everyone dunking on Jamie Dorman being cast as Aragorn in Hunt For Gollum, and while I have zero interest in such an obvious cash grab of a film, purely on casting, people have learned little from Keaton & Pattinson's Batman, Craig's Bond, Ledger's Joker, Hathaway's Catwoman, Jackman's Wolverine...

We should turn his golf courses into wind farms. Fuck off you brain rotted scumbag.

It's actually amazing what difference a small change can make to your writing productivity. Sat at my desk I'm about 4x as productive (by word count) than I am sat in bed at night. #booksky #writing

Great step. Honestly, we (as in people everywhere, regardless of country) need a Digital Bill of Rights that enshrines protections like these.

Damn, these robed doctors be all over the place

It's the staggering crybully arrogance of it that pisses me off. "How DARE you lecture us on morality while we have land to ethnically cleanse and hospitals to bomb!" It's high time Europe started using its diplomatic & economic leverage to rein in these lunatics.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

They're very confused about the concept of holding people to account for sexual harassment because normally such people would just be elected President.

Writers! Somebody on here is looking for YOU 🫵🏽! They're seeing what you post, they're thinking oh word this person has a book? I was looking for something new to read. This book looks good. I'm gonna buy it or get it from my library!

A trend in food that's quite annoying is the idea that the only way to "jazz up" ostensibly working-class food is to make them into something they're not - e.g. the trend in North America with pretending burgers are steaks. Even the language around it is condescending - "elevate" the recipe, etc.

"We need help! What can we do?!" "I know! Call the guy who tanked a historic 25-point lead, lost his own Riding, had to be parachuted into the safest seat in the country, and has been polling underwater ever since because people think he has the charisma of a wet sack of gravel" "On it!"

People in the Budapest Metro, Hungary, shouting: “Russians, go home!”

Magyar: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions.”
