Finally saw the movie where Pedro Pascal plays a cool dude who travels around with his young son

I like the paradox Pokemon and then the ultra beasts.

History is re-written by the losers.

Went to the gym for the first time in decades. Told the instructor I’m a philosopher. He set the walking machine on an upward gradient saying it was a better simulation of real walking. I said ‘so in life we’re always walking uphill?’ he replied ‘I knew we shouldn’t have let a philosopher in here.’

If anyone asks what I'm up to this bank holiday

She's watching Scrubs.

This is one of the most egregious examples. Gender reassignment is defined as someone undergoing a process to change their sex yet we are now to believe that no such process has ever existed since sex is based on assigned sex at birth and is immutable bsky.app/profile/mark...

Yet now the government and EHRC want us to believe that all of that was, even at the time the laws were drawn up, in service of the current interpretation of the Equality Act in which trans people must be outed to save the feelings of cis people Again, it won't make sense no matter how hard you try

Do you know why there's no process, by the way? Because the precedent set by the last 3 decades of legislation and court battles is that a process existing is inherently discriminatory and unequal. Thus we were given avenues to acquire a new legal gender and change our documents

In order for it to become workable you have to repeal like decades worth of human rights legislation and ignore multiple rulings and interventions from the European courts (or just rip up the convention entirely)

After having stewed on the code of practice for days and read a lot more intelligent and learned people's responses, I can only conclude there is no way you can approach it in good faith that makes any sort of sense Even within the document's internal logic, nothing makes legal or practical sense

This. Also: if you’re cis? Prefer not to say.

Juliet in her metal gear solid era

Lol same thought

This was a charming little scene to unexpectedpy come across

The fact that they've applied the dogshit EHRC code and dogshit supreme court ruling to the *gender* pay gap reporting rules shows how much the specific of sex solely meaning sex assigned at birth and gender being something nebulous has always been a load of bollocks

People object to immigration because they don’t want to share resources, forgetting that people are the main resource (horrible term though). It’s rather like playing solitaire rather than playing with someone else because you don’t want to share the cards. (I know I can safely say this here …)

From the transcript quoted: 'Peck: “I do a bit of it, I don’t do too much ..."' Nine lines earlier in the article: 'There is no suggestion that Peck was referring to himself or fellow political journalists on The Times.' Oborne is so keen to protect Peck he directly contradicts himself.

Peck’s presenting this as sleight of hand, a creative technicality that you can imagine Oxbridge twats thinking is very clever, but then you get to “a spin doctor will be quoted as a cabinet minister” which is just straight-up fraud

hazard pay for our beaver comrades or we're striking

The fact Labour would rather enable the racist illiberal right if it means locking the liberal anti-racist left out certainly clarifies the type of party Labour is for anyone who might still be unsure

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

At some point, the Cookie Monster is going to have to decide to stop eating cookies

this is as you say 100% without a doubt I would bet my entire "fortune" on it and yet only shitposters will acknowledge it

Already doing this at council level 💀

This is 100% nailed on. Labour are not part of any left coalition. There's genuinely a better hope of allying with the Lib Dems.

Notions like these, common throughout the law ("reasonable man" is perhaps the most famous), are invitations to judges (overwhelmingly White, wealthy, straight, born to privilege) to impose, by carving them in the stone of the law, their personal prejudices on others.

Interesting to note how the Statutory Guidance (and Act) encodes, legitimates - indeed ushers in - hegemonic value judgments with phrases like "reasonably object." In apartheid South Africa, or segregationist USA were white people's objections to sharing facilities with Black people "reasonable"?

The Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly hasn’t been seen in the wild since 2022. The caterpillar was the last individual in human care.

An absolutely 🤌🏻 example of why the Left is deserting the Labour Party. 👇🏻

Oh shit we might get to 100 likes hi anyone reading this i make chill lofi music plz run it up m.youtube.com/watch?v=5dHH...

Yes mom We need this for cigarette night and im throwing a fit if we dont have it

Lol. He's got more chance of becoming Tory PM. And we'd all be happier if he made that his ambition.

RUMOR: The next Super Mario movie is planned for 2029. Nintendo and Illumination want to properly convey what it's like to play a 50-turn game of Mario Party, and the extra time will be used to play one round of Western Land to make sure everything is perfect

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

I'm gonna need the fabric of reality to stop fraying

“You come to me on the eve of my son’s wedding and tell me I can’t go golfing?”

Cool

*hands you this*

OMG I’ve just tried to turn a page in a physical book by tapping it.
