Everytime a trans girl plays sports along her cis girl mates they go like: "Gigantic, huge manly man crashing through little, daint, girly-babies", even when she's about the same size as them. But when a 6.4, heavy-set adult man attacks a noticeably smaller teen, she suddenly is just an 'activist'…

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites. About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

India staring down the barrel in another home test match. Now looks like England actually should have beaten India comfortably in the summer. Marco Jansen on fire for SA

The strategy makes perfect sense if he's spent the last 15 years having his obviously hateful, racist self soft soaped, ingratiated and welcomed by every facet of the media instead of having his feet held to the fire. He expects it to blow over if he just keeps his head down, and he's probably right

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'. It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

More caveats than a pharmaceutical disclaimer.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?

"The controversial US and Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has ended its operations in the strip saying it has succeeded in its mission" Thousands murdered while waiting for food. People starving to death. Famine declared. For the US and Israel this was success.

The Telegraph Telegraphing so hard it confuses The Onion

Having turned up at high school with a new car to impress everyone and then having tried standing outside football's window with a ghettoblaster, the Super League organisers are now in the sending mean letters saying they won't find anyone better to go out with phase of winning football over.

"People are poor and that's not enriching the rich"

Imagine praising "Latino parents are now so afraid to be seen out and about that they have a rota to walk the Latino children" and not wondering where your humanity went?

Toby Young, self-appointed king of free speech, is speaking in Hungary tomorrow about UK “censorship”. He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

I know they're losing but this seems a bit extreme

Now that Mani is no longer with us, Jack Grealish surely has the UK's most roguish smile.

NEW | Analysing a pre-budget blood pressure raiser: Rage-bait articles about people angry they're getting free money are the real inheritance tax…. Is the future of British newspapers just endless stories of well-off people pretending to be victims? brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/rage-bait-...

It's really worth watching this in full. It really does seem unlikely that there's ever been a man simultaneously THIS famous for being unfunny, and THIS desperate to be thought of as funny. bsky.app/profile/wapp...

It may not have been published as ragebait but this is a terrible piece. Unbalanced and unchallenged. Who does this woman think should pay taxes if not her, on her massive unearned windfall?

Her parents bought the house in the 1960s for £21K and now it's worth £1.2 million It is insane that some people think you should just be able to keep all of that - if you've made a big profit, it is fair you should get taxed on that

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 In an opinion for the BBC, Lewes FC director Ben Hall argues the FA should equalise FA Cup prize money, highlighting major disparities and financial burdens on women’s clubs. Equal funds would be a transformative step towards fairness in the women’s game.

Ah no, another great goes

We urgently need to know how many of these accounts have been spreading/amplifying hate, division and instability in Britain. We already know that a foreign actor - Elon Musk - promoted violent overthrow of the government. Has his platform been enabling foreign adversaries to do the same?

Focusing on the "foreign" bit of this and not the American company prioritising AI rageslop is pure western cope. Sure it's not the American billionaires at fault, it's the conspiracy of low paid Malaysians trying to hustle the system.

what a surprise, majority of fash "Ireland is full" posts on shitter are from outside Ireland

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

This feels like a north London derby from the Wenger/Christian Gross era

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

The glorious future which we must trash data protection and copyright for

We are fully in an epoch of anti-science grift. The grifters are willing to sacrifice their own babies for a Range Rover.

"Influencers" who spout harmful medical claims need to be sent to prison for practicing medicine without a license. Starting with RFK Jr.

This is a difficult, chilling but essential read

oh whoa the models aren't just getting better and better consistently huh

happy Jair Bolsonaro got arrested after failing to cut off his ankle monitor day

Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world

'#TheStoneRoses were built on Mani’s tiptoe-light touch – something delicate but propulsive, an anti-rock energy that had heart, and was dreaming of something, borne of an internal rhythm and beauty that burnt a trail from itself outwards.' Remembering Mani, by Gordon Moakes buff.ly/qIeC0K4

We were a couple of minutes away from producing a rare textbook 10-man digging-in performance. Kind of gutted but will take the draw, and the overall focused #lofc display. If only the ref had been as diligent

Have long said that McCullum’s approach just doesn’t work against the elite Test sides. Also, seems to be no appreciation that people are paying a lot of money to go abroad and watch this stuff. I was in Pakistan last year when we lost in just over 2 days and they didn’t seem to give a shit.

Alice Enders (of Enders Analysis) gushing about UK press editors having independence from their owners, and saying so with a straight face. Remarkable.

Hmmm - so tacking hard right on immigration led the Danish equivalent of Labour to lose the capital city for the first time in a century to a “Green-Left” party? And all the seats on London’s borough councils are up next May? Including the progressive packed ones held by Labour for generations?

It wasn't the case of Trump being "charmed"... more like "bought". After all, he had to bring something to the Saudis. Also, he reflects how long ago was his first term...have the GOP finally spoken? Gift Article www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/n...

It's so maddening because yesterday was probably the best I've ever seen England bowl in Australia, but if you can't bat for more than 15 minutes what's the fucking point?

I’m not saying this series over in any way but if England were to lose (especially convincingly) what does it say about the figures at the top of the ECB when for years everything, every selection, the meddling with the domestic game has all been about, we are told, this series. It’s all we heard
