oh my god he's such a fucking loser

So is Root just going to keep batting until he runs out of partners again? Surely at this point we have to beg him to go higher up the order.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

As expected, Twitter is chock full of antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Jews and/or Israel are behind the attack in Venezuela. This is just the new reality. Something we used to see mainly on 4chan is now everywhere. From conspiracy theories to a totalizing ideology.

What was that dismissal.

England are really going to have to find some way to deal with the fact that we have no other batters anywhere near the standard of Root

I believe in your god given right to make weird sex mods, and I also believe in my right – as someone who regularly gets sexually harassed for having big boobs – to note the underlying misogyny behind the trends of how people modify female characters to look in video games. A nuanced world.

Unsurprisingly I think the rain has fully fucked this test for us

Look all I am saying is I can't believe the discourse is that it's fascist to question the misogyny of nude lara croft mods because they have been applied to an anthropomorphic female dog

People are really responding to this post as if there wasn't an entire reactionary anti-feminist political movement about female models in video games not being fuckable enough. Go have fun but it's not anti-furry to recognise the role this stuff has played in societal misogyny for the past decade.

I have been really unwell since I was in hospital on Weds (from the meds they gave me) and basically sleeping in between looking at the horrors on here. Great start to the New Year.

So Trump has said he is going to go in and "run" Venezuela and that US companies will have the country's oil reserves divvied up between them. After he kidnapped their president and his wife. That's where we're at, and we're going to maintain normal diplomatic relations with this man?

If you don't perceive the fact that they don't even feel the slightest need to obfuscate or manufacture consent anymore as an escalation, I don't know what to say to you?

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean

This test so far is doing a lot to support my thesis that England have to chase for Bazball to be any good

For nonlawyers, it’s worth noting that statements like this have—as a formal matter—important legal effects as a matter of international law. If such statements are *not* made, and in volume, future arguments that Trump’s invasion sets a legal precedent will stand on much firmer legal ground.

Why is no-one talking about the fact that they kidnapped his wife too? Feels like I'm going insane.

This is a new evil spawned from the ancient capitalist hydra, we need to be using historical context to fan the flames of what the FUCK and not just retreating to smug well this is how empire has always worked you can't be surprised by it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Starmer asked to respond to Trump breaking international law and seizing the leader of another sovereign nation replies that it is his "responsibility" to have a good relationship with the US President. "I have stepped up that responsibility [and] I do get on with President Trump," he tells the BBC

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

"narco-terrorist" fuck me

They are being entirely open and brazen that this is a violent occupation, but we're going to have read all of the centrist Big Thonk pieces for weeks about how it's fine actually

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

👏👏👏

The only people who get to decide who leads their country are Venezuelans. No-one else should get any input on the "solution" to the US's egregious violation of international law.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.* People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off. Special relationship - alive and kicking.

What the actual fuck.

"Stakeholders" here is code for "people with any knowledge of policy". Policies, of course, being the main things that governments are meant to have, and that one would expect at least some voters might reasonably be interested in.

This is sub-Cummings shit. "stiffened spine and renewed purpose". Oh yeah? To crush the saboteurs, is it? The government has run aground because it lied repeatedly, promised the earth, didn't do its homework, kept saying "change" without knowing what it meant, and then repeatedly shat its own bed.

"I’m a proud Muslim, coloured boy from Pakistan who was told that he would never play for the Australian cricket team. Look at me now."

Chat, is this the male loneliness epidemic?

Occasionally I remember that when I was like 4 years old I watched AI by myself on the TV and it really stuck with me and I spent years trying to explain the film to adults and fruitlessly ask what it was only for me to stumble across it again when I was like 12. And yeah that explains a lot tbh.

My 2026 resolutions: - Spend more time with the people I love - Read 26 non-work books - Learn a new skill/hobby - Be outdoors a lot more

Wishing a happy new year to you all 🍾 We will make it through, together.

I saw pink and blue lights at some point. Woke trans agenda or something.

Sorry do the fireworks just have adverts in them now?

I predict: outraged GCs at no mention of "winning back women's rights" judgment in fireworks display

Wishing a happy new year to you all 🍾 We will make it through, together.

I hope you all have a better 2026. I won't ask for a less busy one, but rather for the strength to keep going for as long as my community needs me. Happy New Year, everyone 🎉

So. 2025 has been the most significant year of my life so far. And it's not even particularly close. Trans rights came under attack this year in the UK. I have been trying my best to help fight back. I've been a little busy. Here's a thread of some of what I have been up to 🧵

I know I am missing an absolute tonne of stuff but I gave it my best shot. I want to thank all of you who have fought with me this year to protect trans human rights. You are all incredible. We will keep up the fight next year. I don't plan to slow down.

I fucking hate cannulas

Mary-Ann Stephenson is here doubling down on the EHRC's transphobic draft guidance. I am more than happy to judge her on that basis alone.
