TransLucent would like to congratulate the ‘Not In Our Name” women’s collective on achieving over 100,000 signatures calling for trans inclusion and standing against gender-critical transphobia. translucent.org.uk/o... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

New picture...

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

Very happy for all the people discovering the phrase "competence porn" via Noah Wyle's GQ article! My point below intensifies.

It’s not the inconvenience people long for. It’s a longing for consistency, reliabiliy, and simplicity, appreciation for things that are truly *yours* once you buy them, and being EXTREMELY sick of black boxes, forced obsolescence, product-as-service, and never knowing if the next update is going…

Pining for inconvenience?? What’s convenient with showing Spotify my face so it can approve adult lyrics so I can play music on an Amazon echo that only works because I have an Amazon account?

@glutelord.bsky.social is essentially giving a PhD dissertation in under two minutes on how modern incel culture is coopting a very narrow and weirdly specific gay sub-culture.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

In the UK we call them lifts but in the US they call them elevators, because we’re raised differently.

THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN *SHOW* ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

My @allfatheruk.bsky.social "A Death Knell to Oppressors" shirt continues to be a guaranteed compliment draw/conversation opener here in the good city of Chicago whenever I wear it 💪 (allfather1.bandcamp.com/merch/death-... )

YOU BROUGHT A HOME NEXT TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE. THAT IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. HEAVEN HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1979 astonishing levels of Nimby

My notes folder? No, no, it's normal.

Having a lot of these at the moment, but more on the "definitely not asleep" side - though it does eventually get to a point where my alarm goes off and I realise I have been dreaming.

guys, this is how you lose the time war

The government was forced to admit the EHRC’s transphobic draft guidance got it wrong, and they’ve had to send it back to the drawing board. But the fight is far from over. They plan to bring an updated version back to parliament in May. So we need to act – fast 👇

The problem nowadays is that CEOs don't want to work. They just want money for laying people off and blathering about AI, not for producing any positive or concrete improvement to the business. They expect hundreds of millions for thousands of job loses and it's weak sauce, snowflake behaviour.

Fascism, colonialism, violence - all these leave wounds that become scars. Fascism tries to tell us we can ignore our wounds, for they make us stronger, and we can forget them. We must learn that our wounds become scars, and we carry them always; and it is they that help orient us to a new future.

neovagina where you can still fire the penis out like a xenomorph

I keep seeing stuff like this, and it's encouraging, but could the bubble fucking hurry up and pop so I never have to interact with another fucking "AI" thing like Claude or Gemini

How about let's internot for a bit.

I agree that people shouldn't be negatively polarized into treating the Catholic Church as a net good in the world but if you're pretending it's not funny that the pope saying "bombing schools is bad" made our government invent Anglicanism from first principles, you're just a buzzkill

GOOD. Absolutely shameful that selfish boomers voted to take away the rights of kids to go and study abroad.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

I dont know if I could possibly exaggerate how terrifying and bad this is

fuck the catholic church fuck harry potter adults fuck terfs fuck labour fuck the new york times fuck the atlantic fuck mumsnet fuck the olympics fuck the state govts of idaho kansas and tennessee fuck everyone who won’t leave trans people the hell alone fuck everyone who refuses to stand up for us

Incredible sequel. Edge of my seat!

I made it my life mission to reference this as many times as I can

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Everyone keeps saying "serving cunt" and it's making me feel really old. I still call them waiters.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, duck and weave...

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

Everyone's got theories for why Gandalf likes hanging out with hobbits but mine is simple: he's the Maiar who immediately found the dog at the overwhelming house party. Everyone else is loud and yelling and arguing and meanwhile he's like "hell yeah buddy let's get some tacos, you like tacos?"

"eventually" - we know he is a fucking grifter now, we're just waiting for the rest of the world to catch on.

a happy 20th neil banging out the tunes day to all

Tagged the Pope in, as well. They're definitely snarking about him in the DMs now, lads.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Had this with Julia Jekyll & Harriet Hyde, which for ages I was almost convinced I had imagined, but is nonetheless a fever dream of a show: www.imdb.com/title/tt0326... But there's another one that I'm sure I watched but still feel like it might have just been a fever dream...

Can we get Vance to campaign for Reform? Please?

I suspect if it hadn’t been such a crushing landslide for the other side he would have contested it, but there’s just no way to spin this.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
