Pro tip - landlordism is inherently exploitative, especially in a situation where access to housing is insecure and in crisis. So while it’s possible to be a “nice” landlord, it’s not possible to be a “good” landlord.

Me, an ethical landlord, when an area is short on affordable properties.

“Was it Bluesky?” Mulberry asked, before opening the app and seeing a middle-aged man with an underwear mirror selfie as his profile picture get really, really mad at a satirical article about bees. Give us a dopamine hit by supporting us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/142722...

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.

70% of trans people believe BBC News is hostile. (And anyone who has listened to Justin Webb knows they are clearly right.) goodlaw.social/kyxv

VP Kamala Harris: Our unity is our strength, and our diversity is our power. VP JD Vance: I’m a Grok guy.

Anyone in Wokingham, Berkshire: my cat Monty has been missing since November 11th, he is microchipped and registered lost, and was last seen wearing a fluorescent yellow collar. Please share and let me know if you have seen him.

v good thread to show to your cis people who don’t understand the kafkaesque web of insane bureaucratic nonsense that british trans people have been trapped in for decades

It's worth pointing out that, in his recent letter to the UK, the @commissionerhr.coe.int explicitly raised the dangers of treating "the human rights of different groups as a zero-sum game". And yet, today the EHRC's lawyer uses the zero-sum game interpretation when he speaks of "competing rights".

Cis people: One of the most helpful things you can do imo in everyday life is loudly oppose using the term "biological sex". Push back when you see it. Its creeping normalisation, especially post FWS, in the news and daily life is a fucking nightmare.

Radical trots have been driven out of voting Labour like my mum and basically anyone I speak to who I would consider centre-Left. They really aren’t getting the damage they have done are they? They’ll find out in May!

It's interesting that Labour still views completely blowing up their voter base as an electoral masterstroke for some reason.

A landlord on the Today programme just described landlords as “a race of people who are being targeted”. Parasites playing as victims.

Anyway. If you have direct knowledge of Grok’s training data and want to leak it to me, just hide it in a book. Musk will never know about it.

Many terminally-ill people would feel “duress” and “pressure” to choose an assisted suicide if it is legalised, because of the lack of funding for the NHS, palliative care and social care services, a disabled activist has told MPs and peers. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/health-and-c...

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

It has taken me over three months since I came home from hospital to realise that I can just order a basic bath lift with my own adult money. 🙄 For less that 200 quid👍🏻

Rockstar's controversial dismissal of 31 employees is such a big deal, it's made its way to UK Parliament www.eurogamer.net/rockstars-co...

Look I've done a lot of tough reporting on Hollywood (and sometimes leaked emails have been my friend) but at least a percentage of industry people know not to send an email that boils down to "hey I had a fun time doing horrific crimes with you, want to circle back and do more crimes next week y/n"

We're so close to having the ultimate vehicle on our roads

ubisoft is about to become even more shit.

I don’t get it, just do a new Bond movie, ignore continuity, most of the movies don’t line up! Bond changes appearance/age, Connery came back briefly, Joe Don Baker played a villain then a CIA agent, Maud Adams played 2 roles- just do what they used to, and say hey this is a new Bond adventure…

There is something about the upbringing of certain people that means their entire foundational understanding of the world is built on the idea that for all the "niceties" of morality, might is right, the powerful should get what they want and enough money should be able to buy ANYTHING.

Probably no biggie that 8 days before his arrest (thus, 5wks before his death) Epstein emailed himself a horde of names headed "list for bannon steve" which is absolutely not a blackmail list and simply features dozens of his known associates, not only beginning with Mandelson but listing him twice.

Sex Worker is the word the profession chose for itself. It has a long history, and people would benefit from learning about it. It comes straight from the 70s Sex Wars in the second feminist waves. Dickhead ignorant comedians should stfu and learn first.

The whole "Look, it was much more fun when we were allowed to demean people" thing is far too widespread a trend. If it makes you feel icky to give people even the most minimal verbal respect, what does that say about how you actually feel about them?

It seems like the Democrats have become a machine that makes two things: Milkshake Ducks and an extra set of obstacles for moderately progressive politicians like Mamdani.

Just a gentle reminder that “under-age women”, often used to describe the people those powerful, rich men are alleged to have had sexual relations with, is not a thing. They’re called girls, or put another way, children. And that’s rape.

Akehurst is a waste of minerals and oxygen

I used to do this a LOT, now I just avoid it by never going out🤣

No, autism isn’t the reason for the Holocaust ffs

I've often thought that the best revenge for all this fashy misery would be affordable social housing, workers rights, a functional health service, sustainable energy and all the other good stuff they apparently hate. But I do keep glancing thoughtfully at lampposts.

I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer
