Me: (Extremely smart) Okay, that wasn’t the real government: *this* is the actual government! (Unveils the same people arranged somewhat differently, with a minister from more than fifteen years ago as a new broom) Why is nobody applauding, this is great

important PSA:

Basically _everybody_ went "holy shit, JKR just organized a harassment campaign against a rape crisis center" and part of her response was to found Beira's Place in order to a) deflect from criticism for her actions and b) be able to set the policy that trans women cannot get help when raped.

In 2021, a trans woman, Mridul Wadhwa, was named the CEO of a rape crisis center in Edinborough, which makes sense given she's dedicated her life to such work. Rowling and her friends immediately started a campaign of harassment and threats against the Center, flooding the lines, until she resigned.

So. Two more years of the exact same failed crackdowns and flags bullshit, then whatever cluster fuck election happens after that. Getting on for two wasted decades now because these abject cunts cannot just fuck off.

She justified it by saying the victim was asking for it, dressing like that. I reiterate what I said the other day: if you are a victim of sexual violence, have nothing to do with Beria's Place. The woman who runs it thinks like a rapist.

Imagine if Britain's government supported its world-class creative industries the way Japan does, rather than selling out to thieving AI tech bros.

One thing I do miss from twitter is turning off reposts from your follows. Some people need to chill

KIM KITSURAGI - “Press your damn cheek against Lamby, okay?” The lieutenant sounds authoritative -- and surprisingly gruff.

the future is here and it is picking images for news alerts

a man and his son are in a car accident; the father dies but the son is taken to hospital. the surgeon says, “i can’t operate on this boy - i am a horse”. how is this possible? find out on DOCTOR HORSE, thursdays at 9pm on cbs.

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

[whispering to date while watching The Odyssey when Chappie first appears on the screen] I think we’re in the wrong theater

Put another way, the entire adult userbase is going to have to upload their IDs to sketchy third-party companies and link their identities to their online activity to stop a few dozen kids from accessing a platform that is mainly left-leaning news and commentary. What problem is this solving?

People are complaining about spoilers for The Odyssey. Sure, it is only 3,000 years old…

i swear to god, like a year ago, i saw this image on here where someone edited the famous newsweek magazine cover about bisexuality onto the x files. but i cannot find it AT ALL. so i just remade it from memory

Look, I don't think it's bad to look forward to Josh Sawyer making another Fallout. I am also excited by the prospect. But you can't tell me it's an entirely separate, compartmentalised event from the mass layoffs when it's all happening under the banner of the "Xbox Reset"

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Do not use Xbox's bullshit spinword.

Its the hottest games everyone is talking about

on this day in 1995, scientists discovered bisexuality. happy 31st birthday to all my fellow bs

Dang they really got a category for everything

"In large bold font, the detrans. ai website claims to give users the ability to “talk to 60,000+ detransitioners” " oh look, they finally found all those detransitioners, they were just hiding in the hallucinations of a twisted AI

Incredible statement from the Church in Wales on the ignominious Code of Practice: "The Church in Wales will not use equality law exemptions to exclude trans people from our worship, our sacraments, our pastoral care, or our common life." www.churchinwales.org.uk/en/news-and-...

J K Rowling is short for “Just Keep Rowling”. But what is “Rowling”? We don’t know, but we have every indication it’s something terrible.

okay gang. I know a lot of you have concerns. I’ve heard whispers of a trap, even an ambush. and I get it. these are difficult times. even *I’m* nervous. but guys. if we put all that worry aside, and we take this chance, and it pays off… we get a free wooden horse.

I repeat. Roblox is the worst thing that's happened to the video game industry.

"surely u cant just knock off a bunch of shots from the lain & evangelion openings for your Indie Game Animated Trailer" yes we fucking can and we fucking did

"figure it out, like a real engineer" Accompanied by "we needed da pwagiawism bobot to make da pictures" really tells you a lot about this particular asshole.

our majority-female readership actually responded really well to the printing error with the pages from that week’s 2000 AD, so we’re swapping out this issue’s horoscopes for “summer skincare do’s and don’ts with judge death”

You deserve better literature than Dungeon Crawler Carl. www.jank.cool/you-deserve-...

Just so I'm clear, if you phone up Rowling's helpline, you are at risk of having your phone call tweeted out to her 14 million odd followers for a ridicule party?

The Undercover Policing Inquiry was established in 2015. It was originally expected to conclude within 3 years, yet the Metropolitan Police has done everything it can to drag it out for over ten years. Now the government is seeking political cover to shut it down www.gov.uk/government/c... #spycops

People forget this. Austerity was a purposeful, economically unnecessary, political decision which hurt those who can’t work the hardest. These deaths were entirely predictable & avoidable, but for my whole life, people have argued in favour of austerity. share.google/oTRdJYHfO3mn...

terfs position themselves as cis women’s advocates while they police and define womanhood in exactly the same way the fascists do - to be worthy you must be childlike, small and softly spoken and vulnerable

guess we’re moving women with PCOS, women with body hair and women with deep voices out of the ‘women whose rights Joanne is apparently fighting for’ column, then

This is the context of JK Rowling putting a survivor of rape or sexual assault on blast for having the gall to seek help

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs

It’s a weird month with pay not coming until the 29th, so things are really tight. I’ve got some essentials still, but any donations anyone can spare to help make things a bit less austere would be really, really fantastic. Paypal / interac are both doable with sincerelynataliereed at gmail

Come read @abeewords.bsky.social describe this book as "an extended Reddit post" and other excellent maulings.

Getting it in early

Remember Starmer ignored the findings of the Forde Report, because he was hoping antisemitism was a huge problem in the Labour Party. It was nowhere near the levels of anti black and anti Muslim hatred. So he and Blairite colleagues ignored the findings. THAT’S what I will remember him for.
