I don't need this amount of fireworks being set off at this time of night, irrespective of us having a game at some point in the early hours.

Edinburgh Pride could be made even better this year if we get a special announcement tomorrow 🤞

This is the legal systematisation of V-coding. Utterly, utterly unconscionable on the deepest possible level. We will see deaths because of this ruling. Hunger strikes. Targeted civil disobedience. A new generation of Suffragettes. I'll be there with them. Will you?

To be completely clear: 'gender critical' / transphobia is an indivisible axis of the emerging fascist / neo-Nazi consensus. GCs, no matter how 'progressive' they might consider themselves to be, are at best Strasserite Red-Brown dupes, and at worst, enthusiastic exterminationists. No quarter.

More 10-year-olds say they want puppies than parents do. What's behind the divide?

Join us in the Radical Bloc at Edinburgh Pride this Saturday from quarter past noon, and find our stall at Teviot!

Extending a conversation I had with my therapist today: I have no idea what flirting is.

It's not an environment in which I am primed for success, is all.

The GPU is not your enemy. The GPU was intended to channel magic smoke into the drawing of triangles, the virtuous shape. Evil men devised wicked shapes that should never have been drawn, and have used their influence to hoard the GPUs and twist the magic smoke toward the shape of their perversions.

As America and the UK continue to attack trans people's rights, the Netherlands becomes the latest member of the EU to enact a blanket ban on conversion therapy. Read @mollyquell.bsky.social's reporting here!

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

the "they're raping our women" thing is about control of women & girls, not concern for them btw musk is part of an international movement led almost exclusively by rapists & pedophiles. the point is those victims are *theirs* in a collective, racial/national sense

it's been out a few hours, i thought to myself—i bet he's shared something racist since then

Counting stars 🌠

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Tonight, in Oxford Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox addressed an empty chamber at almost midnight. This happened because Oxford residents, ordinary residents, showed up in their thousands to make clear that Oxford rejects the racist and divisive bile that Robinson and his ilk spread.

Doing some marine art and really accounting for all their weird implants and how it would effect them, would make for some real body horror stuff.

Mexico is kicking America's ass

Commander of my blackshield force, painted in a grimdark desaturated scheme with oils. Best attempt yet but need to rewatch the tutorials @smash-bash.bsky.social put up and do more practice with dabbing off as it's proving quite hard to get the effect right. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

The One, in all it's battle-weathered glory. Photos angled to represent how it would be seen on the tabletop. Learnt that Payne's grey is very good for dark steel and that a combo of burnt siena and burnt umber over black is excellent for rusted/corroded metal. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

there needs to be a coordinated global effort among democracies to destroy this man's financial and social media empires and leave him impoverished and powerless

Unhinged things the UK gender critical movement said that altered my brain chemistry part 1: When Maya Forstater tried to apply the principle of sexual dimorphism to a cartoon alien library mascot

Finally uploaded all the posters I made so far for the "Encyclopédie vivante des techniques et métiers du Livradois-Forez" a didactic project on local craft & industries. 1) Braiding machine 2) Wood pelets guypradel.fr/encyclopedie...

The GC hatred of the Edinburgh Book Festival is so compelling to me. They can’t handle the fact that they haven’t won the unconditional support of Scotland’s literary tastemakers and cultural elite. It drives them crazy!

like V for Vendetta, you often get more out of Warhammer when you know the cultural context of "Thatcher's government was so evil that people were openly wishing death on her"

Sure, but we here exactly did we think a decade of “students and the left are scum who must be crushed so that right thinking patriotic people are free to speak their minds in public” was going? *Obviously* it was going here, with the far right running riot while the cops mass-arrest socialist Nanas

Labour wants to cull the poor. That's why they voted down all safeguarding from this assisted dying bill and keep bringing it back

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

Every potential Reform voter I have ever encountered IRL has been so wildly confused and uninformed that simply paying attention to the things they say feels like bad faith dunking.

Mike Tapp MP asks Zack Polanski: “Do you support Palestine Action?” When answering a political question could risk arrest, that's not confidence in democracy. It's a power saying, "Know your place." That's not a healthy direction for any democratic society.

Much the same as the Tories for decades, really: if anyone with an interest in reading out The List Of Abysmal Crimes ever gets hold of the microphone and helps the public to understand *exactly* what these people have done, then that will go very, very badly for the people now in power.

The media loves the tale of Brianna Ghey who tragically killed herself due to the pernicious influence of social media and transgender, except for the fact she was murdered by transphobes in a park, but she was out and about as a trans girl, so basically She got herself killed whats the diff

He may as well have posted “who remembers when the binman was hard”

At the cost of closing the useless [regional town university] that provides the vast majority of direct investment into the town, we’ve saved one dozen manual jobs we fetishise for upwards of six months.

“We came to terms with it I guess but anyway lemme tell you about how great her sister is”

10 years ago, days before the Brexit referendum. There was a deadly terrorist attack in Britain. Afterwards, nothing happened and very few people today will refer to what happened by its name. 1/

I guess I'll end by saying this: Jo Cox's murder was a watershed moment. British Politics today is the way it is because an MP lost her life in a white supremacist terrorist attack. And the government did nothing about it. We don't get to where we are today without that. End/

every single thing I learn about Thatcher reminds me of how her regime was so fucking horrible that a bunch of punks and nerds could only express it by writing this guy into existence

"You can't just put a bunch of pretty queer people together and expect us to behave~" Happy Pride month from me and my gorgeous friends @fadedleara.bsky.social and @skyheartstreams.bsky.social ! #KelpieCrayons #Artomic #SkyHuebris

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

The Other joins his companion on the battlefields of the Heresy. What Legions did they forsake? What past binds them? What fate awaits them? #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

I love when liberals on here make arguments with me where they make a straw man argument for something communist as the “bad” hypothetical, and I’m like yeah! that’s good and we should do it! Hell yeah!

I can literally do this with nearly any dish and make it unappealing garbage by just showing you a pile of the individual, uncooked, pieces. This is Jamie Oliver level nonsense.

Mandatory real names are a "good idea" for comfortable white men who don't believe their boss would ever fire them, their coworkers would never stalk and harass them, their sexuality or gender would ever be called into question, and absolutely refuse to learn from any minority. Clown idea.

I think we also don't talk enough about how when it starts it's like a bunch of british punk nerds making stuff and now it's a giant corporation and how that might affect the ideology of the fiction
