this is incredible

'ppl are doing degrees that don't give them opportunities for jobs' says government minister who did a degree in history at the university of oxford before working as a manager for her mothers charity

Certified MILF* bait Mother in law (fan)

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

"was the 911 strike on the pentagon non-consensual gender reassignment surgey" the greatest debate in the history of mumsnet, closed by the met police after 40,000 pages of heated debate

Do not speak to me of "barriers to entry". Every act of creation is slicing out a thin sliver of light from the existential darkness of the human condition. You not being able to pick up a fucking pencil and risk failing does not even register.

The White House is posting fake QAnon posts (to promote executive orders on quantum computing).

All the writing about "heteropessimism" in 2026 fails at the fundamental level of begging straight women to continue to put up with men's shitty behaviour instead of laying the blame where it belongs (with men who insist on tearing apart the social fabric rather than treat women as equal).

Our existence is strongly contested, opposed, vilified, and provoking a massive worldwide reactionary backlash. Simply by daring to change sex and assert ourselves legibly as women we're doing plenty to "deconstruct gender roles" because the entire fucking world doesn't want us to do that.

Larry the Cat, the appointed Chief Mouser of Downing Street, has now outlasted 6 UK Prime Ministers, and the Queen herself. He holds the true power over the country

Imagine thinking every independent artist will, given the chance, seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the working class no matter their social context. Analysis of the material conditions be damned, you get assigned class by aesthetic vibes now.

Hot take but i don’t think it’s trans women’s responsibility to deconstruct gender roles while everyone else gets to do whatever the fuck they want

What I love about shit like this is that it's basically doing the stereotypical tallying privilege points to decide who is right but with Marxist aesthetics.

liberals when they see a meteor barreling straight towards earth:

Actually, this is a somewhat useful text, in that all of the historical nonsense here is built to underscore a specific mysogynist argument: that it is better to have a bad, difficult and precarious life where you can brutalize women than a relatively prosperous and secure one where you can't

No bro-I mean they, you don't get it, petite bourgeoisie is just a value-neutral description of your class positionality that I just happen to be using to mark you, a trans woman living in poverty, as a target-I mean enemy of the working class. That's just like a harmless little bit of Theory.

Suprised by how many people haven't read their Barthes.

Um, ok. Last minute greeting cards, y'all.

y'know as a semi-serious thing i made a 3-way venn diagram of Artists Who Draw Trans Women between "sees us as people" "as women" "as hot" and genuinely thinking about it more that it more or less summarized my opinion on why i dont like most art of transfemmes by non-transfemmes lol

It brings me relief to imagine how the brown trans lesbian is so much more bourgeois than me. She will never reach my revolutionary potential.

this commenter would probably catch fire if exposed to any estro junkies/RCBG character and by goddess would it be a sight to behold

These uninformed opinions — commented under the DHS post about the US soccer team “defending the homeland” are really unnecessary

"I just think the character makes a better metaphor as a cis man. that way he can be anything! a man, a feminine man, a nonbinary man, a genderfluid man, anything! but if they're a trans woman they're locked into being SOMETHING I can't relate to anymore." who are you, all my pre-transition friends?

"I just think its regressive to suggest someone HAS to be a trans woman just because they're trans and a woman. isn't it more radical to be a man who defies stereotypes than just another woman with male privilege?" wait, who are you now? all my first-years-into-transition friends?

To win a war means changing the politics of the enemy such that they must surrender. That is what Iran just did to the United States. See my latest essay: "Capitulation Day: The dimensions of defeat, and the chance for recovery." snyder.substack.com/p/capitulati...

We are literally hosting a World Cup.

queer academics 🤝 left-wing academics 🤝 right-wing academics 🤝 billionaires: proles are thoughtless drooling animals who are made to do and not to think, thinking is for the bourgeois/upper classes

Thousand yard stare right now

whats fascinating about this sort of discourse is when you contrast it to the way that transmasc and cis lesbian histories are identified together and presented as transhistorical (lol) often through the lives of either aristocrats or respected professionals

seeing trans people make attack helicopter jokes about other trans people is the most embarrassing thing ever it’s like do you even hear yourself

An aspiring Telegraph columnist is “thrilled” that her four-year-old daughter is autistic, due to all the hand-wringing articles she can get out of it about her horror at not getting exactly the child she wanted, throughout the daughter’s teens and even well into her adult life.

make a movie about the guy who fantasized about having sex with a giant roach

Eat your heart out NATO

one thing going unmentioned with the whole banning minors from the internet thing is that it just bans them but not their parents. no comment made on all the instagram moms who legitimately pimp their (pre)teen daughters out to men lol

The Google search engine bot (which seems to be Gemini, only dumbed down so it responds faster) has many issues, but the stupidest one is that nobody thought to tell it, "All the queries you get will be web searches."

Just days before today’s Russian attack on Kyiv, Putin threatened Ukraine with more strikes. While Ukraine responds to Russian attacks by hitting its war machine, Russia keeps bombing civilians and churches.

As Sudan’s conflict enters 4th year, civilians are increasingly trapped not only by frontline violence but by fear, disappearance and detention, per update by the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan to the 62nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday.

Russians bombed Kharkiv zoo (again) killing several animals. 😥

In his keynote speech to Harvard graduates this week, @thedailyshow.com host Ronny Chieng said "Fuck AI!" Turns out you can talk about AI in a grad speech and not get booed. Watch our episode on these AI grad speeches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE0E...

🔴 Bells of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra ring out following massive Russian attack. The attack damaged the UNESCO site and killed 4 people in Kyiv.

🔴 Ukraine has initiated an immediate appeal to UNESCO following a Russian strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra’s Dormition Cathedral.

Israel and Russia united in their uses of double-tap (and triple and quadruple) strikes intended to kill rescue workers. F- Putin

🔴 The death toll in Kyiv has risen to 5 after a massive Russian strike hit homes, businesses, and the historic Pechersk Lavra.
