Doesn't do to anger the Old Gods

Listening to ep.4 of the Behind the Bastards series about Saville. I feel quite queasy, and this isn't the first time I'm hearing about it all, what with being 47 and trapped on Rainy Fascist Child-Molestor-Protecting Island. Never realised Saville was such a class traitor though

You can hold an ideological line against AI, you don’t have to try be some uber-rational “well in this specific case it’s fine” person threading the needle. Understand how AI is broadly used, pitched to us, how much it consumes and the waste it produces, and draw a line there.

Picard management tip: Fight for what you know is right. Only arrogant bullies think resistance is futile.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

And lo, the cryptobros did say unto Jack "build us a garden where we might sell crypto to each other and be quite right wing" But verily did the Dolls arrive instead with their friends and made the garden silly and Jack did expell himself from the garden And there was Alf Hog and much rejoicing

Try again with her correct name: solidarity with Dr. Beth Upton, wherever she goes. I hope the transphobes stop chasing her.

The Scottish Parliament Election is coming up on the 7th May. Ahead of the election, we have created a summary of the relevant commitments and comments from the manifestos of all the parties currently projected to win seats. www.equality-network.org/our-work/pol...

"...the SNP has carried on as though they had a God-given right to govern Scotland." Nigel. Buddy. Pal. I realise it's a rare achievement for you, and you don't understand Scotland in any way (or like us) but we have this thing called voting. You might have heard of it?

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

Amazing that it’s always the same three transphobic columnists, over and over and over again. Here, we have the lesbian JD Vance rewriting a history she was never part of.

“Look, why can’t we just agree to disagree on whether trans people should be allowed to exist? The unwillingness of trans people to compromise on this is so unreasonable.” 🤬🤮

If you had any doubts that Stonewall is a danger to trans people, here is Kathleen Stock praisng them in the Times. "When the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration"

As a video game player and an undiagnosed autistic woman, I feel like there's a WASD joke that is begging to be made. But I'm experiencing too much borborygmi to make it just now

Telling people about the good, useful use cases for AI is kinda like telling people about the 30-50 feral hogs you need your AR-15 for It is entirely true and yet so completely divorced from the lived experience of your audience that you sound ridiculous

It bothers me when people describe predators as "sex pests". It suggests the predator is just annoying (the other definitions of 'pest' are not about human behaviour) Undiagnosed but definitely autistic, why do you ask?

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them. The graves of multiple children have been defaced. One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

The Onion has reached a deal to acquire Infowars • It will be turned into a parody site of itself • Has the support of the Sandy Hook families “A lot of people gave up on doing the right thing over the last two years. Despite an insane amount of threats & bullshit, we persevered" (via Variety)

Some timeline stuff: — We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks. — We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs. — Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

For some reason, pretty much no legacy media is reporting that the FSU shooter was specifically asking ChatGPT about hate crime penalties for racially motivated mass shootings right before killing two men of colour...

i’m going to be a published author tomorrow. my book will be in bookshops tomorrow.

After a BBC investigation found advisers offering to falsify LGBTQIA+ identities for asylum claims, Lesbians and Gays Support Migrants told @wearequeeraf.com the reporting was homophobically biased Read more: www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-t...

The French are entirely correct here.

Every Communist Character in Every 1950’s Movie.

Listening to Knowledge Fight. They're discussing Tucker Carlson trying to make the case that Catholics are basically the Nazis. TC: "... this is *everywhere* today, if you haven't seen it." OxyTucker loves the sound of his own voice. I also really hate his laugh.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Maxine de Brunner apologised for "Simon Harwood's use of excessive and unlawful force, which caused Mr Tomlinson's death". I dunno, Maxine, that sounds a bit like murder to me.

Where were you when…?

🚨There are just two days left to respond to the consultation on Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026. If passed as it is, this guidance risks causing significant harm to trans and non binary students in schools and colleges. You can respond here: tinyurl.com/38uc2rdv. Please share for reach.

It's on allies to pick up the slack and stand between trans people and the onslaught. The bigots will probably listen more to cis white men anyway, so step up lads.

The bigot's real victory in that case was that they presented the first part as a win for Forstater and ignored the second part entirely; and their media/journo pals ran with it. She wasn't even fired!

Having B+ (ha) blood, I feel seen and vaguely threatened

Your daily reminder that you cannot vote for Scottish Labour and claim to be a queer ally.

Anyone who still has “huge respect” for JK Rowling after Everything she’s said and done has definitionally no respect for trans people

Every day when I go through the papers it's just story after story of cis men murdering and abusing cis women and then you turn the page and it's EVIL TRANNIES MUST BE STOPPED TO PROTECT WOMEN. There's never a headline about stopping cis men.

Kezia should educate herself

You won’t want to hear this but when it comes to kink at Pride I’m afraid we, as a community, in a public place, need to show more restraints.

Does everyone remember Alex Bramham? The guy who was kicked out of a pride march cos he showed up in an LGB alliance t-shirt? Transphobes in the press made a big deal about it at the time, about how it showed how intolerant the left is etc... He's now a branch leader of the fascist NRP

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today.... This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. 🧵

Remember, kids!

What I learnt today is that in the UK a transphobe can scream and shout transphobic abuse at people right in front of a dozen police officers and get off scott free. Meanwhile a trans person so much as utters a single swear word and they are labeled "threatening" and have reputation trashed by press

When they find mechanisms to remove trans right they can piggy back the removal of contraceptive rights and abortion which is exactly what has happened in many parts of America. Not that people should only care about trans rights when it starts to affect them, but I WISH people would understand this

I have a memory of lying in bed one Sunday morning, about 30 years ago, wondering how I knew I was me and how other people knew I was me, and would I still be me in a different body. It was before anyone else was up, and no good cartoons on telly yet. Everyone should try that.

New on the Anthropic settlement from the @authorsguild.org : over 91% (!!) of eligible books were claimed as of the claims deadline (I would not have predicted such a high number!) Looks like the payout will be close to the $3000 originally estimated authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...
