I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

Starmer says he's proud to leave the UK in a better state than he found it. Trans people weren't banned from public toilets before he took power. I guess some see that as an improvement.

my god, this is amazing. apparently from a NY Times interview with Neill and Goldblum. Resharing with alt text so everyone can enjoy

Hey Bayeux Tapestry fans have I made the platform game for you? I’m sure someone else will have done this before but well now I have too… bayeuxgo.live

I'm not enjoying this new version of The Keith Vaz Game.

When a Jew wins a landslide election in the most Jewish city in the United States, where massive numbers of Jews turned out to reject a terrorist org that lobbies for genocide:

What we need is not necessarily legitimacy, but perhaps some kind of *performance of* legitimacy. Something with the trappings and appearance of democracy, but tightly managed. A managed democracy, if you will.

Look at what this person has become. This is how she talks about trans people.

we must ban teens from social media bcos it is rotting their brains with disinformation.

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

Stunned myself with the realization that RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) is a recapitulation of the Biblical Binding of Isaac where Abraham decides to kill God instead of his son

The Pod Save America bros hosted one of the most transphobic columnists in mainstream media for a friendly chat. *groan*

Very proud of @fruitypy.bsky.social writing for the G on the EHRC Code. Getting a trans voice into those pages - supported by another team of trans people - is no joke, and she hits a good tone between educating the masses and articulating our fears. @transsolidarity.bsky.social

The updated code of practice for services, public functions and associations has been laid before Parliament. The guidance tells organisations how they should approach trans inclusion. Here’s what that means 👇 goodlawproject.org/the-code-of-...

quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap

I met PP at a fundraising event in 2014 and she was very chatty and fun, added me on Facebook....where she posted anti-Muslim screeds every other day. Islamophobia was her first love, the TERF train came later.

May not keep this one up too long, but here is a temperature check of where we are at these days with formerly 'just a normal classical liberal' types

What i think is really funny is how everybody in Labour has decided to crack on with a leadership election while Keir is presumably like. Guys. I havent resigned. What are you doing

Make a band out of two others? U2 Unlimited

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.

Incredible chart (from otherwise depressing news story about bad advice being given to new parents) showing how cot deaths fell by 50% in the first year after the 'Back to Sleep' campaign was launched, and have continued to fall since. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

literally the Lisa Kudrow parody youtu.be/CPNZTtoQBmA?...

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it. It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Absolutely egregious paraphrase

Folks sharing the Western Journal article about an interview with Andy Weir: WJ is a right-wing rag, and the quote being attributed to Weir about “wokeness” is taken from the person interviewing the author, not Weir (it’s right in the text). The title is rage-bait. Don’t fall for psy ops.

If you pay for anything Harry Potter-related, if you take part in anything Harry Potter-related, you are sending money to the person who does this and uses the money to pay legal costs for bigots just like her. She is a vile, sick, dangerous misery. A hollow mess who will leave a putrid legacy.

what’s ironic is that Helen Lewis self-identifies as a feminist and we’re all supposed to accept that identification even as she embraces more and more anti-feminist talking points

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS NATA

My tentacles? Ozric.

Bill Gates would not be cheating on his wife with underaged sex trafficking victims if we had done him the favor of taking all his money. It's for their own good.

They think if they pretend “Island of Strangers” never happened, you’ll forget about it

The thing is, we have all torn into Tick Nimothy today for his Islamophobia, and Kemi for her waffling on sectarianism but THIS was Keir's response to Gorton and Denton! Not just blaming Muslim voters, accusing them of sectarianism and being in hock to Galloway! www.politicshome.com/news/article...

First of all, it didn’t “resemble” a Nazi Totenkopf, it WAS a Nazi Totenkopf. Second of all “had it altered to resemble some kind of animal” is such a hilarious and appropriate insult for the wildly shitty (and still Nazi-adjacent) coverup Platner chose

“Wrestling’s fake!” Oh yeah? Then explain this

It was a privilege to be in the chamber earlier to witness this incredibly powerful and effective speech from Charlotte Nichols.

Yep Hadley Freeman reprinted this lie in her Guardian column, and refused to apologise for it. The Graun printed the most graceless retraction possible, never retweeted it or apologised z

Can't remember who said it, but its so true. The second you start posting 'reasonable concerns' about trans people you cease to ever post normally again.

It isn’t generative AI. It’s trained on cinematography to help with editing, by pointing out when there are errors in things like lighting and lack of continuity, and to assist in producing dailies.

OpenAI and…the United States Military…are teaming up to notify YOU that your son has been KILLED IN ACTION. Click here to speak with your son via AI one last time

Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.

As many people have correctly pointed out: the worst outcome of this war is nuclear annihilation.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

#WutheringHeights Sweepcliff.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

This is exactly the same shit the same journalists gladly engaged in when the targets were the Labour left and every single one of them can fuck themselves in the eyes, ears and anus, if they want to get precious about it now.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
