The undrinkable in pursuit of the unthinkable.

"... Iranians knew they could not make any kind of dent in US mainstream media because they had been persistently portrayed as a terrorist state run by religious zealots for almost 50 years. “Where they have really come in is hijacking the conversation and the narrative on the social media realm."

I've just bought tickets to see Joe Jackson. I've never been more excited.

Inclusivity and intersectionality shouldn't mean ignoring the basis of oppression since time immemorial.

"More than a fifth of all “austerity generation” British children have been scarred by poverty for at least half their childhood, a direct legacy of the welfare benefit cuts imposed by Conservative governments in recent years, research reveals." www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Interesting that this is angering the conservative Christians.

Politico: "Greater Manchester Police are reviewing a complaint about Reform’s competition to offer voters the chance to win free energy bills for their street." (The prize appeared to go to Reform party members)

Finally caught up on Emmerdale. I'm confused by a storyline. Dr Todd is right, Jacob is dreadful. Am I supposed to side with his character? #SackJacob

Trump is desperate to control his legacy, isn't he? He wants to rewrite future history books now. It might serve 'as a visual reminder of the noble sacrifices borne by so many American heroes' but he'll remain a draft dodger.

The return of Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle is too exciting.

Dear Men, If you're keen to ensure the inclusion of trans identifying men, if you want to protect them from harm, if you want to be an ally, step up and ensure their safety in your single-sex spaces. Welcome them. Stop asking women to do that emotional labour. Stop dismissing women's boundaries.

I've written a book about the reporting of anti-poverty protests held in Stevenson Square, Manchester, during the Cotton Crisis. While I was there today I took some photos of said book in what is now a very different square.

Unfortunately Trump learned that threatening nuclear war didn't meet with much resistance from Republicans.

The astronauts are definitely spinning the mic because they don't want to speak to Trump, right?!

Those other politicians who don't confront and challenge this are, ultimately, okay with it ...

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

So much polite discussion about whether Kanye West should be cancelled after he loudly supported Hitler and profited from selling merch adorned with swastikas. Meanwhile JK Rowling gets relentless abuse for defending women's rights and opening single-sex facilities for women. Misogyny is wild.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken. Original post

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Trump has finally lost what little he had of his mind.

DTF St Louis is really good. It's also a fantastic PR exercise for David Harbour.

Reform housing spokesman Simon Dudley on Grenfell: “Everyone dies in the end” and “fires happen.” Dudley went on to add that there was too much regulation - the enemy of cowboy developers who are only interested in profit - but literally nobody else. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

Many white ladies have been protesting the likes of Trump and fighting fascism for years and years. It should not be a surprise that they got old.

Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.

According to BlueSky violent men are a protected group.

"The number of people living in relative poverty in the UK rose by half a million in the year up to March 2025, new government figures have shown. There are now 13.4 million living in relative poverty, including four million children." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm no fan of Greens or Polanski but this is bad journalism. Daily Mail hacks spoke to 'extended family' 'none of whom now talk to him' As if that proves something. Extended families often don't even know each other! Going after families is rotten anyway to do so because he's Jewish is really low.

Last One Laughing hasn't worked for a second season. Everyone's trying too hard. It's so boring I think I'll be the last one laughing.

I have to do my physio exercises ...

This young woman had borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, she was gang raped, she jumped from a roof and was left paralysed, her quotes are evidence alone that she was depressed. There are better ways for societies to support abused young women than to assist suicide.

tbf Pink News regularly opted for the 'identify as reporters' model? I hate seeing job losses in journalism... but AI might actually be less misogynistic!

"It’s still very difficult for some women — and increasingly men who are understanding this problem — to join in political events because of a noisy minority who think defending women’s sex-based rights is ‘bigotry’." Stand up to Racism needs to stand up to misogyny. kaygreen.blog/2026/03/23/s...

Liverpool City Council has a new anti racist strategy that's pissing off the Tory/Reform Press. It includes an immigration and refugee myth buster. liverpoolexpress.co.uk/immigration-...

The look on Hypnotits face (but i thought women were just small men)

Good to read that Tommy Robinson's gang of rainbow-painting, flag-shagging, faux Christians pretending to 'march for Jesus' are to be stopped.

At the end of the day, if public prayer was really "an act of domination", Tory MPs would be way more into it.

“Is this some sort of threat, Emily?”

A massive turnout of hundreds of anti-fascists in Liverpool has effectively occupied the rallying point of today’s UKIP march outside the city’s Catholic cathedral. Christian vicars and priests much in evidence plainly outraged by the fascists claim that their event is a ‘Walk with Jesus’.

Total humiliation when UKIP actually tried to march. They got about about ten yards and were forced back by anti-fascists on three sides. Now hugely outnumbered and penned in behind barriers, relying completely on police protection. And still no sign of Tenconi. This is why they call him TACO…

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

Torygraph (or is it Reform now) being completely fucking ghoulish. The boy, of course, is autistic, not fussy.

New Farage fascism videos dropped.

The challenge is not about 'trans inclusion'. It's about unlawful male inclusion in women's single sex provisions. In this case the Ladies' Pond. It's the 21st century. Male people are not entitled to access all areas just because they are male. Because that is profoundly regressive & sexist.

Men being angry and irrational about women defending single-sex spaces just reveals how much they want to prioritise men. Women just want a single-sex pond. That's it. Men have a pond. Trans identifying men have the mixed sex pond. Hardly worthy of a discussion about whether to spit on women or not!
