This is the centrist to fash sympathiser pipeline, "they wouldn't be so rightwing if you weren't constantly asking them to be nice to trans people and migrants"

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Quentin Tarantino is a pretentious little bitch. That is all.

I've been thinking more about Sarah Hurwitz's vile comments and I think what a lot of people are missing is that her "wall of dead babies" comments are based on the assumption that serious people will *prospectively* accept mass murdered children are simply a fact of life.

If a kufiya is religious attire then baguettes are religious food

We were invited to screen Still Playing at Amiens Jail in France as part of the cultural activity They asked me to take off my Kufiya claming its religious symbol I explained it’s part of my culture worn by people regardless of their religion I refused to take it off & the screening was cancelled

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books. But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular. It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

pink news has been on my shitlist for a very long time but i gotta hand it to them for that photo of our graham. that's fine work right there.

The Thing 2: Just One More Thing (actually, this could work, who else could weasel out the guilty party without resorting to torturing tissue samples, ok I’m in)

Stories on BBC News - a street brawl which helpfully tells us those involved were “of Turkish origin” and another about a sex offender “Sudanese” but an extremely prolific sex offender responsible for 343 offences is not described as “white British” why is that

Farewell then Tim Davie. Under his watch the BBC whitewashed genocide, had the BBC News website resembling a “migrant crime” X account, boosted trans hate and the right wing STILL hate him. Quite an achievement

•Who are the top 25 obscure or side characters that you'll ALWAYS LOVE? Day I-don't-even-remember: Giggerota the Wicked Absolute best side-character in Lexx, coming back in all four seasons despite dying in a supernova in season 1. A shamelessly feminine, brutal, mass-murdering mutant cannibal~

so proud of all the marginalised devs who have refused to shut up and be grateful. the fight for justice continues, all the stronger without "allies" who are anything but kotaku.com/game-awards-...

Maybe the years have made me cynical, but the only surprise here is Ballister Boldheart.

Them: “no one had pronouns in my day” A TV Character from their day:

Phenomena. Just a normal film about a young Jennifer Connelly attending a boarding school in the Swiss alp. A normal film where she controls insect and her and her best friend, a Scottie entomologist with a monkey butler, set out to catch a serial killer. boxd.it/1o4s

Poor Biden had to continue arming the genocide because Netanyahu liked Trump better than him 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just tragic that the Democrats never have any power to do anything, even when they're in charge. That power only appears magically during Republican administrations. Convenient for the status quo.

Sigh it’s time for our weekly remonstrance: FATNESS ISN’T IMMORAL YOU FUCKING FUCKS ICE, Trump, et al are not evil because they’re fat. They’re evil because they hurt people. All you’re doing is reinforcing hurtful stereotypes and I do unfollow and block when I see it.

They did this to my father in 1970. He wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his mother. 55 years later, same abuse and injustice.

Wes Streeting extended the puberty-blocker ban on 6 November 2024. Leia died by suicide on 11 November 2024.

There is A LOT of genocidal transphobia in the UK btw (it calls itself "gender critical"), at the highest levels of the political and media establishments, but this isn't an argument for dropping bombs on random UK residential neighbourhoods.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh Anyway, back to toiling

🧵

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

BREAKING: Heroic police officers save public from this terrifying terrorist who was holding a sign the government doesn’t like x

A lot of Labour supporters reflexively react: Keir Starmer can't endorse racism because that would mean *I* endorse racism Keir Starmer can't be harming LGBTQ people because that would mean *I'm* harming LGBTQ people Keir Starmer can't support genocide because that would mean *I* support geoncide

I actually do this all the time and it works.

Stupid adult onset bread intolerance.

it was changed to The Sim in 2018 as the plural required paid DLC

In case you're wondering why the UN doesn't arrest Netanyahu, it's probably because the United States literally passed a law under the Bush administration that says if the ICC indicts and arrests an American or ally, we will - and this is true - invade the Netherlands, a NATO ally.

Amazing slip of the tongue to call 14 years of Tory government "the left"

New boycott list has dropped www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

The takeaway from the BBC investigation into people stuck in hotels with no space struggling to eat and live is to make their lives more difficult

Things RFK says cause autism: ✅ vaccines ✅ paracetamol ✅ sticklebricks ✅ lloyd grossman's puttanesca sauce ✅ that hair gel you used to be able to get down the newsagent for 59p ✅ jennicam ✅ the turbografx-16

No notes.

SOMA by @frictionalgames.bsky.social was released 10 years ago today! Recommended! This sci-fi horror game is brilliant. If you don't like being scared, there's a safe mode (the creatures don't attack you). The game tackles some very interesting sci-fi themes (which are echoed in Alien Earth btw).

Hopefully Uber will also sponsor the firing of a famous rich white person so we can all boycott

ABA was “invented” by a Nazi who also “invented” gay conversion. ABA is the ritualistic abuse of an Autistic child into the shape of an Allistic child through coercive and ultimately harmful and torturous cruelty. It’s been verified to be ineffective at best, and typically traumatizing.

The reason I continue to point out how evil Democrats/liberals are is because they occupy the entire space for opposition...which is why there is no opposition to fascism right now. If we don't dismantle that cult there will be no change, it will only get worse.

I didn’t realize “the left” was synonymous with “every employee and waiter who’s ever dealt with her”

"...we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass..." MUSCLE MASS CHANGES WITH HORMONE THERAPY! Please learn something, anything, just the most basic things about trans people before weighing in on these "concerns" or you just end up looking like an easily duped fool at best.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Enjoying the two guys on this year's Bake Off who look like they could be rival chieftains in Iron Age Gaul

Should we apply the same logic to all of the innocent men, women and children he murdered on his weekly drone strikes in Pakistan….

I’m sick of seeing smiling techbro CEOs in articles about how they are going to cook the planet or assist war or insist we should be wearing creep glasses in public

She’s in that little Zionist clique with Selma Blair etc so not really me

Absolutely amazing thread
