Executives', especially those at Disney, continuous bigotry and gender essentialism endlessly limits what art can be made in that system. See Elio, Nimona and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur for other examples. They are so misogynistic that they don't think they should make movies that encourage women.

They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

lmao and shit like this is exactly why Disney is currently midway-through relinquishing the crown of gold-standard animation pacesetter. Mark my words, they'll be stuck playing catch-up within the decade.

We did a bunch of shit and the response was “fund the police” to rapturous applause, that’s the joke that I’m making here.

A 26.7% swing towards the Greens in *Kent* is phenomenal. Consider "Kent overwhelmingly votes to leave the EU" (from only a decade ago) www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

In fifty years when people look back at the past decade or so, the big world-changing technological innovation won't be the chatbot slop machines, it'll be mRNA.

I might be a little confused but, err, shouldn't you need to have a "triumph" to build a "Triumphal Arch"?

It is 1854. American right-wing nativist WASPs fearmonger about Catholics handing the nation over to the Pope. It is 1960. American right-wing nativist WASPs fearmonger about Catholics handing the nation over to the Pope. It is 2026. American right-wing nativist WASPs fearmonger about Catholics ha

Quick question: who's gonna fund and staff and house these courts and will the accused have quality (free) counsel and the victims adequate support? Because however much this may be needed, you can't magic them up, and you really shouldn't try.

I wonder whether the people who get up in arms about eating horse care that race horses are considered disposable commodities? The racing "industry" is harmful, both for horses and greyhounds.

I've added some answers to this but hopefully I have friends who might be able to think of additional suggestions for Wangleberry.

This is driven by a huge drop in 13-17 year olds getting knocked up with no recourse so just take that into consideration

cis women transphobes are as embarassing as they are revolting because they will declare with their whole chest “I am less capable than a man and I demand you treat me accordingly by lowering your expectations!” girl shut the fuck up there’s no gender advantage in CHESS

Me: I gave up my sanity for lint Guy I invented for the purpose of this joke: Don't you mean "Lent" Me, gripping a bit of fuzz in my fist as my jaw disconnects from my skull cuz I'm smiling so big: No

dwayne johnson: how you like me now, big guy guy living under a rock: ow owowow OW

That's because transphobes are anti-LGB, as well as anti-T+, of course. Don't let the terfs tell you otherwise

If you're a guy who got fired from your radio show for saying the n-word, I think you should sit this one out, man. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

The Telegraph doing more to make Labour likable than Keir Starmer! (And still Greens would be better)

we've GOT to make this place an echo chamber for perverted transsexual maoists again

"It's the future" never washes with me, because you know what else was the future? Scanning a QR code to see a menu in a restaurant. That was a tech innovation that didn't solve a problem that existed, it was just annoying. Turns out we can just reject their vision of the future and go back.

Cunts on the radio like "What if the ceasefire doesn't hold?". Israel broke it immediately like they do every fucking time, I am going insane. I don't live in the same world as these people. I need these fuckers to face the harshest possible consequences as soon as possible. Zero humanity in them.

American media, being owned by a certain type of person, treating "billionaire narcissist men" with kid gloves is not entirely surprising. This is where treating money as speech whilst refusing to limit speech ends up.

We ALL KNEW where that "brain doesn't stop developing til 25" bullshit was leading to.

"If the students don't protest the war, who are we going to scold and blame?"

I can't help but see this and immediately get intrigued by the apparent connection between the ᏣᎳᎩ word "ᎡᎶᎯ" and the עִבְרִית‎ word "אֱלֹהִים", once they've been transliterated into the Latin alphabet. It's almost certainly just a coincidence, but it definitely made me briefly wonder.

the jubilation surrounding charlie kirk was a dress rehearsal for what we really wanted and the entire right wing ecosystem knows it

With kids having unfettered access to knowledge & each other they're becoming more empathetic, even to those very different to themselves and generally less hateful. One might think that's a good thing but if you're evil you don't, but luckily social media bans and LLMs are here to keep things bad!

Also the title of my sex tape?

I follow a range of people for a variety of reasons. One reason for following Claire Willett is her acumen with ecumenical matters and this thread is, as so often with her, a delight.

The most interesting thing about diversity equity and inclusion offices for the very short time we had them… they gave us data… Concerning just how over represented middle class white men are in every area of American life

I disagree with the learnéd QC in that I don't think it's odd that this Labour government chose the worst, less humane option considering, well, everything else they've done so far.

The UK has already done without coal but soon we can run without gas. Ideally this would mean that we're not beholden to, as a random example, massive price spikes due to international instability.

It's interesting that this article, which points out the failure is with the editors and managers, includes photos of the people who were being blamed.

So the US administration has learnt one strategy from the Israeli government!

Modern day remake of "The Producers" where a struggling music festival tries to escape its debts by booking Hitler-loving prima donna Kanye West for a performance designed to flop. Much to their horror, the political establishment sanctimoniously unites in support of free speech...

everyone saying "why don't the leftists do something radical?" needs to engage with the very obvious answer, which is "everything you're thinking of would get a leftist shot immediately"

Scratch a transphobe and a racist bleeds, every fucking time.

I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.

It's Starmer Jazz; you need to admire the stuff you never see

Every time I see Thatcher these days I think how much worse Labour are for queer people and that, and that alone, should end them.

Reform are a worse UKIP who won't ever let Scotland have another referendum on independence, will try to dictate to Scotland that Black Scots¹ aren't really Scottish, and will likely do nothing for their constituents. They are worse than even the Tories! ¹ even those born in Scotland

Who called it insomnia and not resisting a rest

Depluralise a movie: Jaw

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

The President of the United States is meant to be a different position than that of an absolute monarch. That said, even a monarch is not above the law, as Charles I found when he was accused of treason for enriching himself over the good of the country: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

any journalist who attends this one is a scab/traitor to the citizenry (of America and the world)

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
