Earlier today I watched an American commentator (anti-ZM) on France24 seem to lose touch with reality when other panellists rightly said Mamdani’s positions are not radical but indeed only centre-left here in Europe.

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

🫦 En Bigoteando 31, @senorcito.bsky.social dice que Rocky Horror «es algo que lleva formando parte de mí 20 años». Esa sensación de pertenecer a una comunidad es una de las razones por las que muchas personas hemos hallado en la película un refugio para tiempos oscuros al que volver una y otra vez.

I’m so sorry to have to admit that the album is mid. I will not clarify, but…. You know.

Please check all that apply

Dick Cheney is dead and Zohran Mamdani is Mayor of New York City

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I'm mad. Please put in the newspaper that I'm mad.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

And note that he never rejected what some sneeringly refer to as "idpol". Never came close to throwing minorities under the bus. On the contrary. The affordability agenda came hand in hand with him actively standing up for those principles. He could never have mobilised his base like this otherwise.

A man badmouthed Holy Mountain to me recently and I blocked him. 😌

The poll only counts those who think they can escape the UK, not those who would go if they could, but are too poor, too old and so on. The proportion that wants to leave is much higher.

I love when leftists think they should be allowed to have a little transphobia as a treat.

Penelope Cruz is so beautiful it’s almost bizarre.

My son is on blockers legally from before the ban and we did everything they told us to do and now we are being threatened with social services if we don't allow them to "safely withdraw" medication. They admit that the impact will be "stark" for our kids but they are going to do it anyway.

One of the Simon & Garfunkel songs in The Graduate is giving Sufjan Stevens so intensely that for a moment I thought the soundtrack had been updated for a rerelease.

I dare not say what I think

The two wolves inside me.

People are often invited into unlearning by love in the expansive sense. @lewispants.bsky.social noticed that what created the conditions for unlearning was, in part, or sometimes almost entirely about relationships. @prismreports.org

Me, nearly some kind of decent level of Spanish: what if I started learning Welsh again? And maybe Portuguese?

Nearing completion of Duolingo Spanish 🤡 and I’m sorry to say that I will actually need to find a tutor in real life soon. Womp womp

Those women who marry architecture have it all worked out.

Saw a photo of a man I have had lingering feelings over for the past, oh I don’t know, decade, and friends? He’s looking ragged. I am cured. The dicknosis is broken. I am free.

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true. _This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure. https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/forrester_ai_rehiring/

Hurricane Melissa is making its way to the Bahamas and Bermuda, as Jamaica confronts the devastation from the storm that's left more than 30 dead in the Caribbean.

Men’s desperation to make women pay attention to them is so embarrassing. Oh you want to tell a random woman minding her business you want her to get shot? Wow, so brave, what a big man.

I get clocked maybe once every six months. So it was bound to happen. But then right as I was putting the keys in my front door a man started sexually harassing me from a truck. I dunno what kind of nasty vibe is on the air tonight!!

Not only is my bus delayed but I just got hate crimed waiting for it. Extremely unusual transphobia instead of the regular misogyny. Tons of men standing around, including bus driver, and no one did anything.

This particular excerpt of an otherwise harrowing article is the funniest thing I’ve read all day

All the people with taste are broke, all the people who lack taste have the money, and making anything requires bridging the two in the dumbest ways possible.

"It doesn’t appear that the women in the videos know they are being filmed and that the videos are being shared online, where they’re viewed by millions of people... This is extremely dangerous to the women in the videos who can be targeted by both law enforcement and racist, sexist extremists."

Favourite social interaction recently is helping an elderly woman print something at the library. Could spend all day doing this! Maybe I should become a librarian.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

Brilliant news. Queensland’s transphobic & controversial puberty blocker ban overturned by supreme court. A great day for trans kids, so proud of our trans sibling and their parents ❤️🏳️‍⚧️ www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

Please someone fly me to Brazil.

Rosalía and Björk dropping a new song — what a blessed day.

Need someone who makes me feel Vespertine on vinyl, you know what I mean?

So sorry but I am whatever the equivalent is of a weeb but about Brazil.

Plaid Cymru winning Caerphilly shows that Reform being inevitable is a lie. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

D minor with C sharp is giving spooky 👻 on my harp.

Congratulations to English Collective of Prostitutes, Women of Colour in the Global Women’s Strike, and Queer Strike (fka Wages Due Lesbians) — autonomous parts of the Wages For Housework campaign — on 50 years of activism! Incredibly moved and inspired. 🧡🕊️

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Oh good Facebook is asking me for money now.

I was watching Vincent Price in The Haunted Palace (1963) and was like “Idk, I might let that monster Shape of Water me”

Fucking around all day and suddenly it’s businesswoman o’clock at 9 pm on a Tuesday!

what the fuck are you talking about, she made a whole community of friends online and was stabbed to death by two of her classmates
