the main problem with British politics is that transphobia brainworms infected basically all of their elites (which, yes, everyone being too online) you cannot effectively fight back against people who want ethnic purges when you want gender purges

This is genuinely massive, like earth-shakingly big in terms of pushing back the anti-trans exclusion drive. The anti-trans movement have lost a case they didn't expect to lose and really couldn't afford to. I can't imagine them not appealing (near infinite money) but now the precedent exists.

"Education isn't professional" is just so on brand for America. I've spoken to Americans, and yeah, I get it. It makes sense now.

I know I've heard terfs recently argue that trans women shouldn't be allowed in chess tournaments? But the Championships are mixed gender? WHAT ABOUT FAIRNESS IN SPORTS

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Gee wilikers boss, I'd never thought to check with another supplier after initially looking at who we've been buying from. It certainly wouldn't have been the next thing that I was about to do. 7 years, and you're still teaching me things. So lucky I have you here to guide me.

Just normal things, like my boss asking me the same question he asked 20 minutes ago that I already answered in detail.

Do you notice how the catch all excuse for an entire generation of awful public figures who have behaved horrendously, whether left or right, is: “the kids have all gone crazy on social media”. Do you see how it is in fact the old farts who have roasted each other’s brains on Twitter and Facebook.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

Just been told that the last time I placed this order I forgot to do something with it. Funny enough, I've written myself a note detailing what went wrong. Boss didn't pay for 2 weeks, then the supplier fucked around for a week and didn't print off a shipping note for a week. But sure. I forgot.

Seriously now, the way I can have a conversation with my boss, explaining in detail how these parts are heavy, as he experienced when he helped me bring them in the building, and then expanding upon the breakdown of the quantities... Only for him to completely disregard everything 5 minutes later.

Turned on the radio to hear O’Brien talking about a rabbit getting a ride over a river from a crocodile, and the crocodile eating it and… I think he’s getting the Frog and the Scorpion completely wrong? How do you even manage that? Our political media class. Insufferably smug and totally backwards.

Day early, but who cares, tomorrow is Monday and I’d be too busy. The Gothmas tree is up! Ska humbug.

I maintain that WaT is where BrandoSando realized that of all his main characters, there was one that he had not really Put Through It™ during the first 4 books, and that had to be remedied, so we got “Adolin Kholin’s Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Week”

Zack has managed to build this up in THREE MONTHS. It's nothing short of remarkable. I've never seen anything like it. If he can keep up this energy there's honestly no telling what he could actually accomplish.

The way Zack clowns on everyone so effortlessly is genuinely incredible.

good news everyone the Mistaken Text From Grandma Thanksgiving buddy drama is still going strong this story delights me every year

Reading Shadows Upon Time, 21 chapters in. I just have to say that I love that Hadrian is finally in his ”fuck you, make me” era.

Felt like this when mortgage payments went up a few years ago - yes, it's horrible to now be paying an extra £200 a month, but that's been happening to renters year on year and there were no sadface articles on that, just "market forces" and "nobody has a right to live in a city"

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.

First they ignore you. Then they attack you in the budget. Etc. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Someone needs to ask Rachel Reeves if their membership numbers are getting bigger under their approach. It's starting to look a bit fishy that they haven't released any official figures for nearly a year now.

I'm in genuine awe.

This is what Peak Male Performance looks like.

I’m convinced that at least half of these people wouldn’t pass a Turing Test themselves.

When Shelagh Fogarty (only latterly considered a radicalised, right wing lunatic) is whitewashing Nigel Farage's racism (and allowing callers to, under the pretence of "banter"), then you know we really have jumped the shark.

Nigel Farage didn't racially abuse anyone in a hurtful way and Graham Linehan doesn't harass trans people. The UK today.

It feels worth mentioning that Graham Linehan’s harassment literally continued in the courtroom, as he repeatedly misgendered Sophia, and referred to her as “Tarquin”, a fictional deadname he made up for her as part of his harassment campaign. The judge was complicit in this harassment happening.

And right on cue, immediately after appearing on court for harassing a teenager online, Glinner jumps right back on to twitter to harass that same teenager again. Honestly, why is he like this? (And really seriously now, why IS his head like that?)

The USA is Imperium posting now? Cool, they’re definitely the good guys. I get these idiots not getting the Punisher, but who on his team knows anything about anything about 40K?

I... what? What? Like, I know this guy is mental and just loves ragebait, but what even is this?

Oh wheeeee! Might being made redundant this week! What fun! Can’t wait to get to get up in the morning about it.

I’m a terrible influence on my nibblings. Ska is on the playlist for their birthday party, and my better half’s sister is furious with me for introducing them to it.

If it hadn’t have been for Pearl Harbour, America would have probably ended up joking the war on the other side. People always ignore how much Nazi Germany liked the yanks Jim Crow laws.

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.

It’s finally here! We’re finally getting to the fireworks factory we were told about in Book 1! 7 books later, and we’re gonna see the Halfmortal do the thing he did! It’s time for Shadows Upon Time!

We are officially less than two years away from the events of CHILDREN OF MEN Matters seem to be right on schedule

And that’s it. After 25 years, that’s the final chapter of Lyra Silvertounge closed. I can never put into words how much His Dark Materials meant to me, but I know I wouldn’t be who I am today without having read it when I did. To get to see her and Pan again 1 last time… I’ll miss them.

Just had another one, this time had a double R in my surname. That isn't the double letter in my surname. Again. My name is clearly in my e-mail. It's written right there at the bottom. You can just copy/paste it. It's not that fucking hard. Come on now.

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed. But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people. 1/8🧵

Horrible cold frosty weather, I am ready for you today. I have thermal long johns, do your worst.
