It’s not impossible. It’s catastrophic, but not impossible.

not all laughs are good laughs

Really very impressed by this swift response by the Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party. *holds finger to ear* Oh, hang on a moment, I'm just being informed of something...

Anyone who can’t see through the “free speech!” “Cancel culture!” Bullshit now - the whole project has been about amplifying bigotry & shutting up criticism, is utterly complicit - Gervais, Carr & all- the reason they have far right fans is not the quality of jokes but the quality of propaganda

Why are you covered in jam? I pumped it up. You… Pumped it up. *opening mouth Bike pump. *we both continue to eat our toast in silence.

No living politician has done more than Nigel Farage to diminish Britain's economy and its international standing. Now, he's set to outdo himself. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

WHAT? but that's what they teach you in primary school!!

And a deeply bigoted one at that. Without prior knowledge of who Kirk actually was, and going by the coverage he's getting, you might think he was some kind of freedom fighter and not someone who dreamed of oppressing others.

You do everything online! (except cancel your policy. Which will require a phone call, a phone menu with 797 options and actual begging for you to stay when you finally do talk to a human)

hang on wait. lets think for a moment. Would this mean was could get rid of US born Boris Johnson? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ben Affleck playing Batman is divisive. Hate speech is not. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism. The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life. samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

really dislike that "Boriswave" used to be something you'd exclusively see being used by racist Twitter accounts but it's now made its way to the political mainstream, including today's Playbook headline

Anyone who calls him Christian is collaborating with him in whitewashing his white nationalism

Wonder if BBC Verify will look into whether Charlie Kirk was such a great guy?

Have a read of the article on the front page about the Kirk tribute and tell me of you think Cbeebies is worth it?

He wasn't even especially religious. He went against most of the things Jesus taught. He just used it as a weapon and to gain followers - much like Trump.

Very bored/terrified of racists being described as 'divisive'

He was a religious extremist www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He was a podcaster www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

that's fucked up

Charlie Kirk was one of the biggest advocates for protecting access to gender affirming care for trans adolescents

Facts. Everyone unfairly causes her of cheating, especially those that know nothing about track. A few weeks back I shared that Estrogen is a performance enhancing as much as Testosterone. If y'all understood that thread, you might start to understand why top track coaches say she was clean.

I hear both transphobes and normal folk talking about Testosterone as a performance enhancing drug and Estrogen as performance decreasing drug, and that's dude centric and not true. T and E are both performance enhancing drugs for sports. They just enhance different aspects. Let's talk powerlifting

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

If you see Husband and Father in the descriptor you know they are itching to hit you with some bigotry

It's fun when you say something on a panel and your fellow writers go 'ooh, I like that'. We were discussing tropes and I said awareness of the classic story elements matters because we grow up with them so they influence us subconsciously. 'Tropes are the background radiation of our creativity.'

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

The BBC is huge and it's output so vast but most people see its news service as a representatation of its entirety. If BBC News carries on like this, when the time comes to dismantle it, no one will care to defend it. This is either knowing sabotage of public goodwill, or stupidity

The annual festival of “stop hitting yourself!“ aka the BBC’s commentary on Lib Dem conference.

We are in hell.
