Quote with your first anime. The playground rumours about how much you could see during Chun Li's shower scene made it a must see. (Needless to say my uni housemate sitting me down to watch Chobits because I reminded her of Hideki was entirely justified)

Some true things (a non-exhaustive list): --Kindness is never a mistake. --Libraries are wonderful. --You should drink more water than you are. --If you're grouchy, eat something. --No one is perfect. Pedestals are not safe for anyone. --Love is the answer to a lot of questions. --You are valuable.

Wait. So he knew about the island and refused to go, but didn’t say anything to anyone about what he knew was going on there?

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

In every country where trans women can legally use the right restroom there is no increase to violence on cis women. In every country where trans women are prevented from using them there is a 4x increase of violence towards trans women. My safety is less valuable than your comfort.

A war between Russia and Europe if it lasts more than a week will not be regional, Canada*, South Korea, Australia and Japan would also engage Russian forces and other allied nations would send supplies and troops from all over the world. It's a world war.

The same people that swore up and down that Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine are doing their same lukewarm dance over Russia's build up and prepping of a 2nd invasion front. Wishful thinking isn't going to get anyone prepared.

i did not see south park becoming the only media resistance coming, 25 years after it debuted Hanky

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

Just to be clear, Charlie Kirk was a racist piece of shit, Israel is committing genocide in Occupied Palestine, and trans rights are human rights, and if a million people file ARDC complaints against me or send me death threats I will never recant any of those things.

@atiredgay.bsky.social OMG ITS HAPPENING 👀😂😏

So JK Rowling quoted Mein Kampf and it just reveals how ignorant she WILLFULLY is. HITLER WAS THE ONE WHO WEAPONIZED INSTITUATIONAL VIOLENCE! He turned every institution into a machine for legalized political violence against marginalized people - WHICH IS NOT COMPARABLE TO WHAT HAPPENED TO KIRK!

"I said they are just ordinary people with legitimate concerns, peacefully protesting. What did I say Roy?" "You said they're a bunch of far right racist twats"

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

Where is Keir Starmer? Where is the leadership? Fascists marched on our streets yesterday and he hasn’t said a single word. Instead the Prime Minister spends his time defending the “best pals” of paedophiles. He is a coward. He should resign.

We have failed our children.

This is the same transitive property of "forgive me, Father, for I have sinned" and "sorry, Daddy, but I've been naughty."

Oh I see, we weren't supposed to respond to Kirk getting shot by quoting Kirk's own words. We were supposed to respond by quoting [checks notes] Hitler. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Reform want to replace the civil service with Reform nutters and have politically appointed judges who agree with them. They aren't even trying to hide the fact that they want to dismantle our democracy and replace it with authoritarianism.

Quoting for alt text:

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today... Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display. Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains? These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

More of this please!!!!

My bsky thread doing its thing.... (Thanks to @hannibal2000.bsky.social, @tyranicus.net & @rikergoogling.bsky.social)

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Meanwhile on BBC News, a son goes to meet his father which I'd of absolutely no consequence for anyone else.

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

"I once bought a house then remembered that it was actually my girlfriend who had bought it"

Disney—babes—I know you understand the potential in Hannibal Lecter meets Nazi Hunting Lesbians. Just write him the check.

Israel bombed Qatar I think that’s the sixth country in the last year? Total impunity You know what other country went around bombing and attacking ALL of its neighbors? Nazi Germany

Trump sent Jeff Epstein this birthday card. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

So either Nigel Farage lied about buying a house in Clacton, when he wanted to pretend he gave a shit about the place, or he lied about it being his girlfriend's house, when he was caught avoiding stamp duty. Either way he's a lying chancer.

this is called "doing a streeting" which is to position yourself firmly on the wrong side of an issue for no reason and to no one's benefit
