fun how jk rowling going full scorched earth attack at emma watson was triggered not by watson attacking her, but by her giving some feeble wishy-washy statement about still loving her despite their disagreements

To anyone actively following Labour's treatment towards trans people this isn't new. What is new, is that is was said in plain english by a Labour MP, that is something that is important to mention. It makes its harder for people to deny what Labour are doing when they have said it now.

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

Honestly something that gets me through all of this is the Outer Wilds soundtrack. That there's music at the end of the universe.

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

The soundtrack for Divinity Original Sin 2 still goes unreasonably hard

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

STARMER: hey I'm appointing this close friend of the world's most notorious paedophile to be US ambassador :) BRITISH PRESS: ok :) [One year later] BRITISH PRESS: wait a minute

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

Even if we ignore the ethical failings of LLMs and GenAI, they are just are not profitable. They are held up by constant VC funding and its been very clear for some time they were going to fail.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

A reminder that the payment processors pushing this consider queer people adult content.

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes” This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

'just patch up ur own socks' 'just alter the html code urself' 'just mod it in urself' 'just learn to draw it yourself' 'just learn how to cobble shoes in ur free time' 'just /make ur own clothes/ after work' im sick and tired of using my precious labor to compensate for capitalism's failures

Something I won’t ever do is answer for another trans person’s violence. One transfem did a shooting? Fuck off if you think I should go out of my way to “condemn” more than I would when the hundreds of right wing men do it. Happy to condemn you being an opportunistic little cunt about it though.

Cisgender friends, I need you to read this thread. And then I need to use your voices to denounce this. Loudly. You have to be the ones to resist this. Yes, even you, friend who's too quiet and too shy and too afraid of being yelled at by angry conservatives. This is real. We need you.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I hate to say it, but this feels like a horribly-targeted attack on trans healthcare, which so many people are being forced to seek privately because access via the NHS is so dire. Please do respond to the consultation if you can (the GCs will be all over this 😭) www.gov.uk/government/c...

ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕

Trans people were this site’s early adopters and continue to be a huge part of it. J.K. Rowling won’t ever show up here because there aren’t enough nazis to applaud her. Coddling the miserable little cretin’s fee-fees on this platform is a pathetic thing to do.

I would like to think Meta's hiring freeze and "restructing" of their AI department because of pressure from their investors would result in the AI bubble bursting. LLMs and "genAI" run at a lose, if investors lose faith pull out, then the AI market is going to implude.

Even if you agree the EU should be allowed to read private messages, this is not safe. To share messages with the EU, all the messages need to be saved in plain text on a server somewhere. These servers will be hacked, and will be leaked. Your messages could be leaked to anyone/everyone.

Well they just said the quiet bit out loud. By their UK Government's own admission its not about protecting childern. Its not a porn ban. Its about "regulating discourse". "Discourse" just happens include everything Labour is hostile to, including LGBT people.

the calls are working.

God I hope we have this recorded, as this shouldn't be legal.

Honestly it would probally be a better move to redirect all UK trafic to a page telling users why they can't access any content. Maybe drop some contact details for OfCom and other pressure points to direct the public's outrage.

The problem with a two party system is that either the two parties are polar opposites, in which case you can not have nuanced opinions, or they aren't, in which case party 1 is party 2 But Worse

it is not about sports. it has never been about sports. it is about banning trans people from public life entirely AT BEST, and at worst, forcing them into situations that will endanger their lives. this is why we don't play along with the "just asking questions" sports bullshit

I want to be a kind creature with a worldview rooted in empathy so bad but I'm forced to be a survivor cockroach holding on to my moral core with a grip so tight it hurts because the alternative is letting them make us into something worse

Learnt from the TF podcast that the UK government didn't apply the Online Safety Act rules to online gambling, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about how the country is run.

When you post your next Jimquisition, you should do a quick aside calling the Mastercard support line just to let 'em know, since all it took to convince them is 1000 calls. I'd absolutely do it but I don't have an audience to do it to.
