It's eugenics. We have a word for this already, and it's fucking eugenics.

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

Next book: 1 I've been meaning to read for a long time. I woke up listening to @ladyknightthebrave.bsky.social video essay the holocaust is not a metaphor, and hearing them quote Levi again got me to finally pick it up. I 1st listened to lady knight's essay years ago and it had a big impact.

it’s dangerous to go alone, take this

The silence of so many Western journalists to the slaughter of their colleagues in Gaza (whose reporting they’ve relied upon) is already shameful. But, this headline from Reuters tonight is unforgivable. Parroting Israel’s grotesque, discredited & transparent lies. Fuck Reuters.

Full disclousre I read this entier book in a night. Its been a while since I have read an autobiography... This was both funny and horrifying in a way thats hard to convey unless you've read if.

This essay isn't the first to make me cry, but it is the first in a while to give me goosebumps and feel some very strong feelings... I have a tiny following, but I still want to share it just in case it reaches someone it wouldn't otherwise.

#GazaGenocide #MarchForHumanity #AlboAndWongAreFucked #ChrisMinnsIsFucked

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

One benevolent super billionaire is all it would take, in theory However, that person would become the target of all of the other super wealthy, which is a big deterrent. It's also why the state should tax every one of them out of existence.

Hey... Aussies ... that 'progressive' govt that got voted in.... They are doing this in December unless we kick and scream alot more than we are currently doing... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

i dont even know how my bf found this but i laughed so hard it hurt www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXM8...

Such an important watch! Im very concerned that this is the way Australia is headed, with our 'left' party that won a resounding fed victory passing strict anti-protest laws in certain states.

Sorry, no: Lawyers who defend stripping birthright citizenship from 150,000 infants a year deserve to have that held against them. Forever. We should shame every lawyer who defends this egregiously unconstitutional cruelty. They are a stain on the legal profession.

Next book:- I'm looking forward to finally reading the history I have been relying on video essayists for. I'm getting ready to remember all the terrible propaganda I grew up with and challenge ridiculous internal assumptions I didn’t even know I had.

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Yes, this looks like shit, but that doesn’t matter, because it exists not to look good but to replace an insane woman’s dead goldfish

The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

I feel like getting cut up by a ton of lasers would probably make my back feel so much better

In better news so far having alot of fun with this new book. alearning about keyboard smashes and thinking more about the word rhinoceros than ai ever had before.

Gen Z/Alpha: the 2000s were cool we should bring some of that back Millennials: ok, let us tell you about some of our fav- Z/Alpha: *blasting creed and trying on low waisted jncos* Millennials: no wait The Govt: oh hell yeah! *frantically starts fabricating evidence of WMDs in the Middle East*

This is a bad book. Don't give the authors your money. It's misleading in the way it presents statistics whilst being critical of others that do so. It's also steeped in effective altruism language not to mention unacknowledged misogony and abelism that brew beneath the surface.

The Chaser’s meme came true.
