I want to make a thread of the Hollow Knight bosses' reaction to you coming out

The irony of this policy being announced on the same day as Reform getting 33% in a poll is overwhelming. Just imagine what a Farage-led Doge will do to our personal data? And that’s before the really sinister shit kicks in.

In England you have to show your Brit card before you can masterbate

Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

If I were writing this up as a whitewash, I would not simply ignore the question, if there was no direct funding or even donations in kind, of what Labour Together needed *seven hundred thousand pounds* for, and how they spent it. Let alone why they hid it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A great time to keep pushing and keep the pressure up.

'You just earned your brit card' to become biggest insult in Ireland

"Internet-era test and learn practices" means the first million people to be issued one will have unlimited access to the database, and the third million will be unable to prove their identity every third Friday due to a regression in a npm library that nobody will notice for another 3 years

The centrist obsession with ID cards needs to be studied as a pathology.

Starmer: look I can “stop the boats” but I need you to do a thing with your phone: don’t worry I’m assured it’s quite safe. Farage: I would simply send them all back Hacks: two compelling arguments. It’s now down to the voters to let us know which they prefer

The "Brit Card". Could they make it any more dogwhistly? Also, fundamentally ignores that undocumented workers already, drum roll please, lack documents. Adding another one makes little difference, but does make it harder for people to escape exploitation. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Ok this one is incredible

Can’t recall seeing anything like this from a tech company recently blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

Forcing employers and landlords into the border enforcement regime was a shit idea to begin with. Labour could just stop being so arsey about who is or isn't allowed to earn a living or give up part of their meagre income in exchange for shelter but we get fucking ID cards instead. Shithole country.

Labour delendo est.

i got so emotionally invested in this thread that i need to go sit on the porch and look at the moon for a whole.

I’m really glad for these people that they’ve been able to come here without danger, but it’s absurd that their good fortune depends on someone else first having put themselves at risk in the Channel and then having the misfortune to be sent back. How can this possibly be a way to run a system?

my job - when I had one - required me to have a working knowledge of speech development/linguistics, be fluent in 7 languages (inc sign, symbol) and translate across all of them whenever someone hears i worked with disabled kids - “oh, you wipe bums” no one can accept any complexity in this area

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable. This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Decent regional railways in the north of England have to be delayed because of concerns about costs but somehow Labour can still find the money for a massive new motorway tunnel for range rover drivers to go between Essex and Kent

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

it's kind of weird, really, that "it is actually super important, and indeed a central issue of personal freedom, that everybody has to breathe gross-smelling poison smoke all the time" is something that keeps coming up in different contexts

Remember that Liz Truss was the cabinet minister who appointed Falkner, and Kemi Badenoch was a junior equalities minister in her department before getting the full brief herself under Sunak. Badenoch boasted later of their success in getting anti trans people into key public sector roles.

Anyway, here is some actually incredible news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you're not entitled to a free flu shot, you can get one privately from Asda for 60p(!!) as part of a promotional offer if you book online and can go before September ends. Here's the link: asda.cxmflow.com/OABS/Appoint...

It seemed pretty clear from yesterday's hearing that the reason for the trafficking claim being raised later on was that the claimant was only able to access good lawyers after getting removal directions, after the Home Office and two lots of lawyers on the detained duty advice scheme heard that

Art Evolution 🤝 This crearure exists because it was easiest

I want the AI to empty the dishwasher and hang up the laundry while I get to play games, wtf is this bullshit future

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

I'm a little ashamed to admit that TIL that the opposition to evolution in some sectors is because it means that white people and black people share a common ancestor and that narrative undermines white supremacy.

On September 23, 1846, planet Neptune was discovered by Johann Gottfried Galle at the Berlin Observatory. Today, Neptune is in opposition and culminates at local midnight. As in 1846, this year Neptune can be found close to Saturn, making it easy to locate the planet with a pair of binoculars. 🔭

I have said this before *elsewhere* but I do think most of the persistent complaints about the BBC would be solved by roughly a dozen specific employees moving on/being moved on from their jobs rather than taking a bulldozer to the entire thing.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Need to get pregnant and down 40 Tylenol a day so my kid can organize all my baseball cards and pokemon go accounts.

Autumn days when the grass is jewelled

Should be an absolute no-brainer to give the same subsidies for cargo bikes that EVs get.

Spain has fully implemented an arms embargo on Israel through a royal decree law. All weapons sales, military tech trade, port access for fuel shipments, airspace use for arms transport and settlement goods imports have been banned.

She has been chosen.

CHASM (2000) Acrylic on Panel - 30" x 20" I keep a sketchpad next to the bed for recording ideas which arrive as I am falling asleep or waking up... prime time for my "muse channel." 1/2

Having relentlessly supported "decline and division" in the UK, Labour will now lead the fightback against “decline and division” in the UK. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Wes Streeting asking people to listen to the experts when it comes to decisions about child healthcare rather than rightwing scaremongering, is it?

The Lib Dems really aren’t bringing their a-game when they haven’t made him leader yet

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Kestrel. Over River Adur North of Upper Beeding. #birds #nature #wildlife #sussexbirds

Why would a man who follows Jenny Lindsay and Susan Dalgety on X write a hatchet job about a vulnerable young woman who's often targeted by transphobes for a virulently anti-trans newspaper that's being gleefully shared by bigots? Maybe we'll never know.

If you were hoping that the need to listen to all sides so we don’t slide into authoritarianism might extend to an analysis of the systematic underrepresentation of left or green voices on the BBC, well
