Christ, Your Party is really just going to be DOA

John Company one of my favourite games of all time, absolutely worth checking out (as is Molly House). I have them both so using the Kickstarter to pick up Pax Pamir (and maybe some metal coins for JoCo...)

Who could have seen it coming, aside from literally everyone who thought about this for a second. Fuck you, Labour.

That's right.

The toilet story here is the same script (same lawyer!) as the Fife nurse row, except even more ridiculous - a trans woman said hello to her in the toilet. Complete joke.

EARTH MUST DIE Featuring a load of my favourite comedians - too many even to fit on the trailer! Joel Fry! Martha Howe-Douglas! @alexhorne.bsky.social! Tamsin Grieg! @5teviem.bsky.social @mrholness.bsky.social! @misterabk.bsky.social! @rosieisaholt.bsky.social! MORE Please RETWEET and WISHLIST

Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

The GCs waited years for their "biological sex" judgment and thought they knew exactly how to handle it. But this is where their ideological biological purity meets reality. Birth sex apartheid simply isn't compatible with a functional society.

If you've been stressed about fascism in the US (and who the hell isn't?), I literally cannot recommend more strongly getting OUT and going to REAL EVENTS like this with people in your community who are DOING SOMETHING. An absolute balm for the soul - and it's HOW WE WIN.

Fear the Old Blood 🩸🧠👁️

Honestly I think it says something about the popularity of ZP's position (or the unpopularity of his opponent's) that his opponents failed even with this there as an open goal. I'm an SGP guy of course, but extremely heartened to see this south of the border.

Can't even make a joke on twitter now because of stroke

Some rare Warhammer posting from your boy, working on the space filth. Love how they're coming out, just a test model here!

Not directly related to the thread, but as I got in another game of JoCo this weekend it struck me that that game, beyond the specific historic context (a vital one to consider, naturally), depicts the dehumanisation of capitalism at both a national and personal level

Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

Never felt more alienated from my peers than when I found out they thought this was 'good'

Voting is up for the latest Greenlight funding through ECCAN: www.eccan.scot/greenlightvo... Reading these is genuinely heartbreaking because not all of the schemes can be approved, but they're all just groups of locals who want to make life better for the neighbours

I absolutely loved this, felt like it shouldn't work but it really really did

Finished listening to the recent The Truth (Pratchett) with the new cast - this one is Matthew Baynton and honestly it's one of the best audio books I've listened to, certainly the best Discworld one, it's a real shame he's only done this one. The book itself - really interesting

Fundamentally, we must acknowledge that the people who stirred up anti-trans prejudice don't have "reasonable concerns" and have no interest in any compromise that lets trans people "live their lives with dignity and in a safe and accepted way". That's the very opposite of their goal.

Absolutely fucked it. Terrible government, terrible policy, flush the whole thing away and start over.

That's not good 😬

Through his AI policy & his defence policy, Starmer’s approach is dangerous & irresponsible It enmeshes us ever deeper into dependence on the US. We really are losing our sovereignty, but to America, not the EU. & all shrouded by a pantomime of wanting “foreigners out”🤦‍♀️

As the climate crises accelerates we will *need* communities to be able to grow food locally so we don't starve to death. Wealth tax to fund more free allotments imo - and give free classes on how to grow food, which can then be distributed on foot to hungry locals

Wow I can't think of a single thing labour leadership could do to avoid this

at the next election reform are gonna come at labour from the left and there’s not gonna be a single thing starmer and co can do to counter it. they’re gonna paint labour, correctly, as authoritairian and freedom hating.

This was always going to happen. Tech's shift to full fash was always about being able to funnel public money into private pockets, so they are naturally going to comply. I wonder whether UK companies are going to be as quick to ban CoPilot as they were Deepseek, though...

Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

when you, years out from an election, say "i will vote for that triangulating shitbag throwing minorities under the bus because they'll still be better than the other guy" you need to understand that the triangulating shitbag is Watching You: "they'll still vote for me! no need to change course!"

'People disagree with everything I say' is a hell of a self own

A system already exists to over-confidently state incorrect facts to women, thanks, we don’t need another one

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Wtf is a kahoot! account

Finally playing Loco Motive from @robustgames.bsky.social now that I'm on holiday; met a character I thought looked like @misterabk.bsky.social and checked the credits on the off chance, and, low and behold, who voiced them...

The anxiety is in fact more about stamping one's feet and screaming "MEN CAN'T BE WOMEN" because to allow that porosity between two imperfect and socially-enforced categories is to allow the entire edifice of men's superiority, of male-supremacy to crumble as we admit the difference is exaggerated.

Too often, we design public space around what’s easy for machines and traffic flow, not what’s humane for people. We’ve done that before. We’ve lived with the consequences. And in many places, we’re still trying to undo them.

One of the early eps of Buffy features evil eggs and there's a scene where Buffy says '...so your egg isn't acting weird' and Cordelia responds 'it isn't acting anything. It's an egg, Buffy, it doesn't emote' and I think about Charisma Carpenter's delivery of 'it's an egg, it doesn't emote' daily

Re: yurts I feel that the point is that paying 16k for a tent for a weekend is a rip off *even if you get the tent* and what's more it's a rip off at the expense of everyone earning a normal amount of money that that level of inequality exists

Well Final Destination Bloodlines was an absolute blast, hooting and hollering throughout. Mad the franchise is as fun as it's ever been in the SIXTH installment? Genuinely 5 and 6 might be my fav two in the series??

I worked in fashion retail maaaany years ago and honestly I would have rather died than challenge someone like this

I think the way the Dems campaigned with 'democracy is on the line!' and then capitulated across many areas to an unhinged Repub administration is a peek at what a Labour opposition to Reform would be like. Yknow, in case you needed another reason not to vote tactically for them

My response to the decision of Glasgow Pride to suspend participation by political parties. In short, the culture war against our community has gone on far too long, and needs to end.

Really strange angle to me because I don't believe Nathan and his team are using any tricks other shows don't use, they're merely open that's how the show is made (and openly critical of the process of making modern TV)

I wrote a social deduction game for folks to play on their tables

Right about now the

This is absolute dogshit?
