Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

I’m getting so sick of other, irresponsible media platforming people who spout far right myths about “two tier policing” without citing the data that shows they are baseless.

You couldn’t find a place more open to middle-class, “just asking questions”, platformed in the Guardian-style transphobia than Hampstead, and yet this is the reaction to a decade of relentless campaigning.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

If you liked Backrooms, please check out the incredible tv series Channel Zero, especially the Dream Door and No-End House seasons.

Got bored a few years ago and made Pride Month posts for evil corporations from 80s movies

Was looking into some pride month related stuff and stumbled across history's funniest discourse post, from 2017. I cannot stop laughing about this.

I don’t think anything sums up how ridiculous the new EHRC guidance is than the fact it describes those protected by the characteristic of gender reassignment to be those undergoing a process to “reassign their sex”, a thing the exact same part of the document says isn’t legally possible. Nonsense.

What a lush

Can't wait for this scene in the new movie

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

The thing to remind yourself whenever there is Antiquities Discourse is that the audience of the Odyssey or Beowulf or the Mahabharata or any other classical epic cycle you can think of would probably think a Marvel film or big budget JRPG is the coolest shit that they could imagine.

the only flaw the green knight had was that dev patel did not spend half the movie kissing a dude, something that was both a) in the text and b) what everyone in the known world desired to see with their entire soul and body. good film but I am still lowkey angry about the forced edging.

Dev Patel's one of these guys who gets so much more handsome every ten years that by 2050 it will be medically impossible to look at him.

Dune Cat Budget Version

hey so the manager sent the design document for our mascot and it’s a hotsauce-stained napkin with “Yonic Bosch Critter” scribbled across it, are we moving forward?

The UK News Forecast is in.

The important lesson to take away from this is not that we are all going to die of Hantavirus. We aren’t. It’s that the United States has zero pandemic prevention capacity at the present because of deliberate sabotage by the president and his appointed lackeys.

you kid but a version of the odyssey where someone gets lost as shit trying to drive back home through boston while having various adventures could be great

Can this be the solution?

Now I'm imagining a contemporary complaining about how The Trojan Women "is just trying to make me feel bad about being Athenian"

Young people will never know the joy of putting a cassette tape into a doll's chest

a reminder that a lot of the things people find unpleasant about cities - along with the noise and dirtiness - are largely a product of filling them with cars. get rid of the cars and the pleasantness of the environment improves dramatically

Generational tweet that might even spawn a school of architecture.

there is no other cabinet position that so reliably turns people into monsters.

brain baked on X, by an increasingly isolated and poisonous Labour leadership culture, and of course by Belphegor, the demon who lives in the basement of Home Office headquarters and possesses every new minister.

What I like most about this stuff is that if we'd said "this is what's going on" two years ago we'd have been called deranged, lunatic conspiracists.

a) Koral Sagular is my favourite designer, never thought I'd have a favourite designer in the first place but I've been following him for years now and his work is incredible. b) I feel compelled to note: look how hot my husband is.

Green: In work, renting Labour: In work, mortgage Lib Dem: In work, mortgage but a nicer house Tories: retired, paid off. Reform: dead of natural causes.

Nigel Farage talking about "alarm clock britain" to his base of coastal retirees. Labour waxing lyrical about the mythical white working class, galloping past, sunlight running through their fetlocks. Kemi talking about the grindset of her young voters. Does anyone know who votes for them?

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

What’s going to happen is, it’s going to get *worse*, and there’s sure to be an uptick in those spurious dismissals, esp. those of the “if you’re at all bi, or can ever suffer yourself to sleep with the opposite sex for any reason, you don’t deserve asylum” variety.

Yes, but/and they *already do this* to queer asylum seekers! People have to provide extensive info on their sex lives, sometimes including videos. People are sometimes declared “not really gay” for ludicrous, spurious reasons, like not being 100% “gold star” or not knowing much abt Anglo gay culture

there's a lesson somewhere in this about science education. dinosaurs had a huge cultural moment thanks to jurassic park and then archaeologists had to go ehh actually they were kind of like big mean turkeys. and people let it go instead of getting really weird about cucked velociraptors or whatever

they finally made this into a film, thank god

Ironically the BBC stumbled on a really important story: Desperate asylum seekers being forced to turn to fraudulent fee-charging “advisors” to navigate a system that is intentionally impossibly baroque and from which all sources of free advice have been removed. But no: they chose Fake Gay Panic.

[galaxy brain picture] The parallel to Orban losing to Peter Magyar would surely be Trump losing to a guy called Dick Yank.

“Stanley, you’ll never believe this! You know that rectangular aperture on the front of our house?! Yeah, the skinny one. Well, I just realized—“

it's the same in Britain except for the British sense of 'big pants'.

Frantic nurse: We're losing him! Doctor who thinks irritating pessimism is savvy: You're a fool to think we ever had him

Okay so second number in avant-garde drag king OIL's repertoire, this one is all about the things you can do in your bathroom. I think it really hits its stride round about the 1:45 mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKSe...

okay but the last thing is just Hannibal Lecter trying to get me to go down on him

i will BECOME this drag king if necessary. this is the funniest thing i've ever heard, and i can't believe "industrial musicals" were real

Avant-garde drag king called OIL who does a burlesque routine to this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cWl...
