Looks like we got another schismatic Catholic here fellas

This is exactly why we have Pride. Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows. We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Peace is not only threatened by war-mongering regimes like Russia, Israel and the US, but also by food and water insecurity and the climate crisis. Throwing even more money into the pockets of arms company bosses isn’t going to make the UK any more secure.

Why has the government kept this tragedy secret for so long?

“This self-destructive civilisation has all the necessary elements to off itself: it is made up of people forced to do jobs they don’t like, told to buy things they don’t need, and genocide people they don’t even know”

People : oh wow they ordained those illegal bishops i wonder what the pope might d- Pope : EXCOMMUNICATE DAY WOO People : u didnt let me fin- Pope : I DIDNT STUTTER JIMMY

Playing FFX-2, and I was *instantly* reminded about how weird the early 00s were about overtly sexualising young women all the time.

There's no attempt to try and cloak the racism now. (Also Lord Mayors don't run cities and he knows that.)

“Humanity is frying itself alive but refuses to turn the stove off, because the fumes smell quite tasty. This is how I would summarize our collective cognitive blackout. Stupidity has won” My new article

I'm even less forgiving. I think it's a mystery disease because that allows the audience to bask in the rancid joy of her being punished with AIDS while still having plausible deniability so they can leave feeling like a good person. Same reason Rebecca Williams is billed as a nurse. 1/2

A plothole is when you see that a knife is missing, and then later on you see a character holding a knife, but the detective does not say, "She picked up the knife." You, the viewer, presumably a clod of earth with no concept of object permanence, are confused.

The best carbon capture is when you find carbon captured in the oil and gas and you don't release it by burning it.

I especially love this diagram.

jk rowling is still palling around with fellow transphobe kaeley triller on twitter, who admitted to the statutory rape of a minor under her care when she was working as a youth counsellor. rowling knows this because she blocks people who tell her

spent all day making this

WHAT DO WE WANT MORE CLICKBAIT WHEN DO WE WANT IT OUR ANSWER WILL SHOCK YOU

bsky.app/profile/crim... there's some interesting context to this guy

People arent being mean enough to you man

While you're cooking in the heat this week, do bear this in mind.

Meditation instructor Becky Armitage, 33, reportedly thinks mindfulness is a great idea for someone who is already aware of their environment to the point of nervous breakdown. Read this and other exclusive articles on Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheDailyTism...

You’re gonna be alright son.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Hyperscale data centres threaten huge local damage, consume vast amounts of electricity and undermine decades of work to decarbonise Scotland. And all to enrich some of the world's least responsible corporate giants. Join us in calling for a halt to these developments. greens.scot/datacentres

"Andy Burnham twice, in 2008, voted favour of amendments regarding IVF that would block lesbian couples from accessing treatment - because he believes children must have a named father figure." “I wouldn’t seek to revisit that issue now,” he said, in 2015. “The law as it is, is right.”"

“Mongrelisation” but make it woke

I must reiterate: the CHARACTER Seth Green plays is Seth Green, the actor, and in the show he dates a high school girl with her mother's enthusiastic consent. In fact she kinda talks him into it.

Your periodic reminder that people are *more* abusive online when they're using their "real names" than when they're using a persistent pseudonym and this effect has been replicated in literally every study that has ever been done

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Even tangential support of today’s GOP is some nazi shit. Like Democratic senators smiling & posing with Republican senators the other day in seersucker suits is unforgivable monster shit.

For many young LGBTQ+ people online communities are their escape from those in their lives who do not accept who they are. Cutting them off from those communities is often the first step of concerted attempts to inflict conversion practices upon them. A ban makes that step much easier.

Grieving parents should probably not be in charge of dictating policy. Especially when they're getting the causes so ass-backwards. You really would think that brianna took her own life over bullying rather than being, y'know, *murdered*.

She was murdered by fellow school kids and the internet was her social lifeline. It's so appalling the distortion happening here.

Indeed. The persuasive argument against an under-16 ban is “why not everyone?” or “why not regulation?” not “evidence of harm is overstated”.

Protecting women #cartoon

Not content to waste natural resources, they also want to waste the labor & time of artists. The message being sent now is, "don't even take a job replacing their AI slop, because the fact that they used it in the first place shows how they disrespect you, and will continue to disrespect you."

Mandatory age verification and the banning modern public towns squares for young people is, and forever will be, governmental and societal abdication of responsibility so that those in charge don't actually have to dare hold big tech accountable for the very real public harm they can foster.

So the lobbyists fighting the social media ban for under-16s are repped by (drumroll)... Matthew Sinclair, former CEO of the Taxpayers' Alliance, briefly an adviser to Liz Truss, who once wrote a book denying that climate change was a big deal Same old libertarians shilling for profit over people

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

Heavy trigger warnings for violent rape. Tate is a monster who should never live beyond bars again.

Indeed. It’s notable that, locally, I see lots of perennially online adults spouting whatever bullshit they’ve been fed while simultaneously arguing that phones shouldn’t be allowed to rot children’s brains. Current UK government tech policy is incoherent.

This is nuts. Yes we need better protections online, but this is a massive overreach by Starmer. For many young people, especially marginalised ones such as trans and neurodivergent, online spaces can be a safe place for them to develop a genuine support community www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Welcome to the UK, where soon 17-year-olds will be legally allowed to drive, join the army, work a full-time job, have sex and even vote but not watch YouTube past their bedtime.
