Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller August 16,1946

Referring to Linehan as a comedy writer in 2025 is generous for someone whose "Anti-transgender activism" section of his Wikpedia article is now longer than the "Life & Career" section

I used to think Linehan was being egged on by other users online who didn't know him, but that people in the media could largely see that he wasn't well and were responsibly steering clear. Turns out I gave them too much credit

calling out of work to attend a nazi rally and not even telling them a fake reason

Is this a joke? youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y?...

This looks like a tv show. Why is it getting released theatrically?

Gee golly gosh, however could this have happened? It appears that nobody can explain

"my kids are defective!" is the battlecry of nearly every reactionary movement

What movie do you consider perfect (Arnold Schwarzenegger edition):

Andrew Cuomo standing next to a sign that says in big letters "America deserved 9/11" with no additional context other than a photo of a Twitch streamer that most regular New Yorkers have never heard of what a fantastically run campaign

Oh, that is nasty. That is dog shit.

You might think the bizarre spectacle of this very clearly unwell man behaving like a deeply weird obsessive oddball, babbling about “sissy porn” on the witness stand, might have made him untouchable for media culture war bullshit purposes. You would be wrong.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

The most disappointing headline with the words Graham Linehan and Dying in that I've seen

nailed on he has floated a father ted reboot but it got turned down because 90% of the script was various characters talking about sissy porn and autogynophilia

it really is something how obviously Charlie Kirk's wife did not actually give a shit about him lol. i know everyone grieves differently but damn

This. When will people learn that you don't defeat fascism with facts when as Marcus says fascists don't care about facts and know they're lying. You defeat fascists by challenging their politics and offering an alternative, not by allowing them to dictate the discourse all while acquiescing.

Years before Reform have a possibility of power, the news agenda following their every utterance has thousands of people worrying about their future. It’s violent

He’s got his huge headline which has set the news agenda seen by millions, no one will see your graph apart from a few thousand people, Labour are going to come out with “actually we’re scrapping it today” or some other response to the right of Farage, the escalation continues

I’m sick of people posting facts and graphs about how Nigel Farage’s numbers are wrong. Fascists don’t care about facts

As always, a reminder that tectone's father, when he was in the military, was such a prolific rapist that it's a matter of official congressional record

'sex matters' -> 'ethnicity matters' you just know they aren't far off from 'race matters'.

After quoting Hitler twice last week while saying "words aren't violence" - "Author JK Rowling has criticised police for not prosecuting a Kent mum who made a video about the murder of Charlie Kirk." www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/jk...

'centrists', liberals, whatever you want to call them who think that facts will beat out fascism and that science will win the day should be reminded of things like this they all keep saying transphobia is 'reasonable concerns' or 'common sense' while completely ignoring what scientists have to say

This is best understood by recognising that this isn’t because *the public* have been wildly radicalising themselves to the far right for well over a decade. It’s politicians and media figures who have been roasting their own brains and egging each other on, with results that are all around us.

you shouldn't have to attempt to "argue" that telling spouses of british citizens (for example) that the last 5 or more years of them being here doesn't count and they have to leave is beyond evil, should you. why is this even something that needs to be up for a debate

Like, the problem isn't that Reform UK are planning to do something undemocratic; it's that the logic of our democratic system has no safeguard against handing completely legitimated power to a group like Reform UK.

The Mail are going after Morgan McSweeney and I can't say it doesn't make me smile

haha

of all the things going on what's causing me the most stress personally is the fact that this economy is about to go belly up yet again. but i think the most serious thing is we keep murdering people randomly in the caribbean and bragging about it. that's just wildly dangerous stuff

Challenge to commentators: don't dismiss transphobia and landlordism as 'side' issues in the implosion of Your Party. It's central. Same as Galloway: you can't build a progressive party on petit bourgeois prejudice and hatred masquerading as "community values". That's what we are seeing play out.

You know how I keep talking about “cancel culture” as basically the enraged response of rich sex abusers who were *furious* that women might use social media to talk about their crimes

Also: bear in mind that this is what’s being served up almost a full four years before the next General Election. At this rate, any 2029 manifesto offerings milder than indentured labour for anyone whose family arrived after 1066 would be a pleasant surprise

Note how we’ve moved from concerns about people arriving irregularly in small boats to wrecking the lives of people who are by definition here entirely lawfully

this dumb country's version of fascism is going to have the usual perversions with our unique regional twist, something v stupid like, "make the little chef breakfast great again" and letting the bin men punch children.

this, too, is political violence

Why would anyone visit the US right now? Both professional & "low skill" international workers are being punished. Tourists are getting black bagged. Your visa can get revoked if you've made fun of some guy who was mates with the president. They're gonna host the OLYMPICS in these conditions??

Even Tucker's antisemitism used to be more subtle than "the Jews killed Jesus".

Ah yes. Let some mouth-breathing Reform mayor decide the syllabus. Can't see any issues with that.

Here is a planned anti-trans protest that is happening on November 1st in London.

Norwegian state television broadcasting the Charlie Kirk memorial service completely uncritically? Jobs should be lost over this.

like how can they gaslight us saying it’s because we unfairly called him a nazi that he’s dead and then bring a nazi onstage to eulogize him and call him his commander

Will's crank TikTok theory of politics was repeatedly undercut by direct data, which is why the media has generally abandoned it. And it has completely failed to explain, among other things, why Trump's rating on the economy has dropped despite TikTok's mind control powers.

Abolishing ICE is just minimal human decency.

She's at it again, folks.
