The next Final Destination film should be about the Riyadh comedy festival comedians getting picked off one by one

Roz is a badass. Roz is also an amazing poet. But more than this, Roz is a walking talking reminder of how confected this stupid bloody trans panic of the last few years has been. She's been a woman for longer than Wes "lickspittle cunt" Streeting has been alive, and she's worth a million of him.

Sort of sensible and humane thing that a Labour government might have done ... in the old days.

"When journalists start asking..." well they're probably safe then, since journalists don't ask questions these days 😕

VIBRATING! Should not have had that third coffee* *or had the temerity to exist in 2025.

Mandatory unpaid work to be done by The Other, is it?

This is so true that YouTube has been experimenting with a 3x speed option, because talking is SLOW.

Genspect has released a statement saying they are going to push for the Re-Psychopathologization of Gender Incongruence. This will happen to whole LGBTQIA+ community if we don’t fight. ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

There are some serious conspiracy theories orbiting this guy which, if even slightly based on reality, are absolutely terrifying.

Saying ID cards will prevent illegal working is really putting a lot of faith in people already breaking the law not wanting to break the law.

It's commonly been LGBT since last century, yet the bigots like to talk like the T+ part of the acronym were shoehorned in sometime in the last decade against the wishes of the community 🙄

With alt text because this made me cry 😭

'out of the three mass shootings today'

So many people are running at top speed away from anything that might ask them to make a moral judgment of any kind and whenever anyone demonstrates any sort of moral courage in their presence it’s like their empty soul just got pantsed in public.

It breaks my heart that this is both the correct thing to do & a sign of how awful things are right now. @marinaomi.bsky.social built something beautiful that helped make the comics industry (& community) better. Now they're taking it down to keep artists safe. ❤️❤️❤️

man I'll fail by October 2nd

I increasingly think part of what is going on is people in power seeing a future where climate refugee numbers are going to dramatically increase, and putting up walls ahead of that, and guys: that is not actually going to help your country at all

So exhausting..

If I was an allegedly centrist Prime Minister of the UK who is facing being wiped out by fascists in a few years, I probably wouldn’t be building them infrastructure with which they can track & surveil citizens. But that’s probably just me.

It's exhausting to see how many places we're failing at intersectionality, but at least in this case we get some nice wordplay with a call for neurodiversitydiversity.

I am so grateful I actually did read the whole Yahoo News article because HOLY MOLY

Google Search is vandalising the internet. 👀 Our new investigation reveals how some of our fact checks are being shown in misleading ways:

Holy crap! Things are grim.

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

There IS a migrant crisis, because so many countries being in such a state that people have to flee their homes should be seen as a crisis - but that's not what the media/politicians are talking about 😒

How to make any sport more interesting to watch: add cats.

People WILL refuse to vote for a party that persecutes trans people, cuts social security, scapegoats immigrants and supports genocide. If your response to that is 'nooo, they're voting wrong, they'll let the REAL bad guys win' rather than 'let's make sure they don't have to', YOU are the problem.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

I got separate dishes for my toxic flatmate in an attempt to reduce the hoarding and moldering of mine in his room. The deep horror and disgust at seeing what he treats as 'clean' is perfectly balanced by the possibility that he's going to poison himself.

I like what he's saying and it also makes me think... If 'things we need' should be in public ownership, does that include Internet providers? 🤔

Newcastle says no to fascism. The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance. Newcastle united.

No mean feat

It's not even vaguely convincing slop 🙄 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Minorities are the canaries in the sociopolitical coal mines. Even if you don't care about them (WHY?) you should support them and watch how they're treated to preserve your own neck.

Concentration of ownership is a natural tendency of capitalist markets, left to their own devices. Monopolies are not inevitable, but they are never surprising; and oligopolies are only fractionally better.

In 2014 I met Australian traffic researcher Ian Johnston at a conference in Edmonton. I think often about something he said, and this week shared his words with a colleague: "If your plan is not for zero deaths, then your plan is for some deaths to happen"

It's quite comforting to see that, while every nation on the planet hates England, the English (nationalists) hate every nation on the planet, even their neighbours, even when they're trying to support them 🤭🤭🤭

Someone has managed to drop a Palestinian flag at the very top of the Spire. Fair fucks. Gonna be comical watching Dublin City council trying to figure out how to get that down :) #Speirgorm

There is no such thing as a good billionaire because a truly good person would be spending that money to make society better, not sitting on it like a dragon.

Autistic people oppose a cure to autism and I have a hard time reconciling why that isn't the end to the conversation about it.

There’s no easy answers for Starmer’s government confronting Reform. But it should understand the opposition. Not ‘ordinary Britons with legitimate grievances’, but a trans-national, far right propaganda machine built patiently over decades with Russian & US funders among others.

So as part of my day job I regularly have to check people's right to be in the UK, via a UK passport, or an eVisa/share code. These are legal requirements. Anyone saying we need online ID so we can verify who has a right to be in the UK is lying to you. We already do that. They are lying.

Why are the negative consequences of so-called AI so consistently directed at disabled and racialized people? Disabling Intelligences details the ongoing effects of the eugenicist mindset on our corporate ventures and our interpersonal relationships. link.springer.com/book/9783032...

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

If being opposed to genocide is just a purity test to you there's something wrong with you
