Social Media absolutely is "In real life" It influences people, crates new social norms, instigates violence, influences public policy, is a medium for harmful propaganda, etc... Too many "other" it, because it suits them to

The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine

Round 2 at the Aberdeen Queer Arts Festival- and it's the community performance night. Of course, the plushie bairns wanted to come along (specifically Pastel, but Twinkle decided to be a diva again).

They ignore the fact that that fucking ad's full quote was "Kamala Harris is for they/them, Donald Trump is for YOU".

She's kicking off because the BBC aren't transphobic enough. These people, I swear.

Sonia Sodha left wing? Jokers. She is not a trained journalist. She is literally further evidence that the British establishment’s idea of diversity is “more clueless privately educated people, but make them Black and Asian”. Her “writing” is crap.

I don’t see any reason to defend the Beeb from their erstwhile allies, who are now attacking it. If you slam your dick in a car door, it’s going to hurt: the end. So it is with encouraging and pandering to wingnut cranks: you have richly earned the punishment you brought upon yourself.

Heads up 😅 Sex Matters have launched their own MP letter-writing campaign insisting on trans segregation, an exclusionary Code etc etc 📝Let’s make sure our letters outnumber theirs+++ Template here! If you’ve already written, grab a mate & get them to write too 🤗 actionnetwork.org/letters/scra...

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

I now see why all the teachers find that 'six-seven' thing really annoying. I don't even know what it means?

All housing ought to be social housing when you think about it

“offering a product you want to pay for” oh yeah absolutely i’m super jazzed to have the opportunity to make someone else’s mortgage payments for them plus however much else they fancy charging me

It's upset a transphobe, you say? You're damn right I'm going to share it 😉

So a transphobe is threatening @northwestbylines.co.uk with defamation over this 100% accurate and factual piece of Journalism. Support us by sharing it far and wide 🏳️‍⚧️ northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

Frontline women’s services are in free fall leaving countless vulnerable people at risk. This is the conversation that should be topping the agenda regarding women’s rights.Culture wars are a distraction, austerity is the key threat. @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/hol...

Gender is Performance

Just stayed up late so I could finish Chris McQueer's debut novel. Absolutely brilliant work, full of humour and poignancy, that also proves to be a topical study of incel culture and what leads young men - including main character Jamie - to fall into its traps. (Full review in ALT text)

JK Rowling 'funding transphobia' as equality in Britain goes backwards, MP says Nadia Whittome, who has just joined Westminster’s Women and Equalities Committee, called for the Government fight back against toxic narratives and show solidarity with the trans community

Another map they've left Shetland off of 🙄 and before any clever dicks try it - Orkney is flatter, and if they haven't gone underwater then Shetland DEFINITELY won't have.

I was reflecting earlier - having rewatched the Mr Bean section of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony (which is perfect in many ways) - how Britain really hasn't experienced much of a sustained, unifying feelgood factor since then.

My one bit of criticism for this overall very good article is that it characterizes the linked article where @katelynburns.com clearly says JKR is a transphobe as "her liked tweets raised suspicions among those who were paying attention" Burns knew. She pointed it out.

It's interesting that for a very long, long time, retail workers were commanded to act like robots. Strict scripts you had to follow or else get fired, done repetitively all day long. People got fired for such as not smiling enough to a customer right after finding out their parent died, etc.

Target will inevitably cheer an AI boondoggle that promises to let the manager know exactly how many seconds per shift an employee is not smiling, how many distance-threshold interactions the employee reacted insufficiently fast, etc.

Okay- time we all realised what Democratic Socialism is. It means having a socialist government where the means of production are collectively governed by people, not big business, alongside a democratic form of government. In other words, society done properly.

Starting to think the Panda from those Egyptian cheese adverts had a point.

Less than two weeks into the first ever event at Aberdeen’s latest art space. Act my Age will hopefully be the first of many events and workshops etc to take place at the Eco Centre. tickets for Act My Age are only £8. Step out of your comfort zones and try something / somewhere different

Congratulations to Tom Harlow, piss-boiler extraordinaire.

Starmer will go down in history as the man who destroyed a 100 year old Labour movement by selling it out to the rich for the sake of his own career and advancement. The Tories are dead, Labour is dead, time for a new left based on the Greens, the Celtic indy parties & the old Labour left.

So where are all the "concerned local mothers" in Kent? Why weren't they protesting outside the court?? 🤔 ohh forgot none coloured in amongst them.

I was a 14 year old skinny twig in 1975. Wonder Woman gave me courage to dream, to stand up for myself and to do the right thing. She was my hero, my inspiration and I will hold her dear to my heart. I even have her image as part of our collection! So thank you very much for bringing her to life 💙

My cozy fantasy novel inspired by my love (and fear…) of Scotland’s mountains, misadventures in academia, and time spent adventuring in Dungeons and Dragons, will be out next July!!

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Yesterday, after a relatively gruelling day at work, I decided to slightly betray my working class roots and use Deliveroo (ALWAYS tip your driver, btw). I noticed a whole bunch of restaurants without premises, or at least, not once I've ever seen. Here's a warning for you all...

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

having become a young adult in the late 80s I feel pretty well qualified to say that independent music is more vital now than it’s ever been, and that the opportunities for creativity and community within it are endless

TERFs aren't punk, they're the establishment. They're also not witches, they're the ones doing the pricking and holding the matches. And their entire movement is grounded in the belief that women are always weaker than men.

This is one if he most callous and hate-filled ‘Gender Critical’ activists, who does not believe trans people have a right to exist. Her boyfriend marches lockstep with her. She makes big money selling hate stickers. Contact the venue. Stop hate being funded any way you can.

Nice change to see a Herald article defending trans folk for a change, well done @marissamacwhirter.bsky.social and sorry for the grief you're getting from the usual suspects back over on the Deid Bird Site.

www.heraldscotland.com/politics/hol... Bravo @marissamacwhirter.bsky.social - calling it out
