We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Listening to this is like watching someone go up the stairs in a horror movie. Don‘t get comfy man! The killer is already in the house!

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

The most damning information in here is that Theo Von blurbed his new book

All AI images are bad and stupid and fucked but this Australian Christmas poster at a Sydney train station is really something special. My favourite bits are the kangaroo with the face of a koala and the “oops! All Union Jack” version of the flag. www.reddit.com/r/sydney/com...

He’s becoming Zohran’s own Club Chalamet

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

I'm in the late stages of my new novel draft which means I can't read any contemporary fiction because of how my brain works so I've been picking up some classics that I never got to and can I just say...The Remains Of The Day is a perfect book. Perfect! Those 1989 Booker judges were onto something.

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

A “Rebekah Vardy’s account“ level twist in the tale

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

(lol)

this is a rich text but my favorite part is that despite being presumably good at math, her husband is so illiterate that he cannot read a baby's report card

Tell you what, it’s always been hard to stomach the military propaganda when watching American sport but it’s especially galling right now ❤️ Please let me watch my big basketball men without a side of “thank you for your service but let’s not look into it to closely“ ❤️

We did it for you Dick Cheney

Just for today we’re bringing back singing GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD like that bit in Hamilton

Miranda: Zohran won! Is this…am I feeling hopeful? Charlotte: (awkward silence) (awkwardness intensifies) (it’s worse than that time Carrie asked her for money) Samantha: Mamdani? More like MANdami. He could dominate ALL of my boroughs. Carrie: Cuomo is buying a Peloton.

mouth hanging open in shock like one of the Battletoads seeing a boss come at them at the revelation that the youth like voting for a charismatic young person and not a fucking desiccated corpse telling them universal child care is unreasonable bsky.app/profile/aman...

For months, Mohamed Khamis Douda shared accounts of what life was like under siege. He was killed when RSF fighters finally took the Darfur city, raising fears activists and civil society figures are being hunted down @kaamilahmed.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

This “teenager” reads like three centrist politicians in a trench coat

The news story that reveals Wes Streeting’s puberty-blocker ban to be nothing to do with “protecting children” and everything to do with Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer being deeply transphobic bigots… www.itv.com/news/2025-10...

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

Russ and Sabonis tearing it up in OKC just like Sam Presti intended

🗣️

Spectacular good news. A victory for the family who sued; for the local trans activists; & for anyone who pushes back against Australia falling into the western Trumphole of non-peer-reviewed, JFK-brain , Project 2025 nonsense 😍✊

i should be able to click a button at the beginning of a sports season that says “i’m normal” and i don’t get served any ads for crypto or gambling

Twinless is a perfect movie! Saw it at 6pm in a like quarter full cinema so it should’ve been vibeless but the whole audience laughed and squirmed and did audible GASPS together. Oscar for Dylan O’Brien! TWO Oscars!

"Make all the games go to overtime to distract from the Rozier thing. You heard me, ALL the games."

*through a yawn* Aaron Wiggins saved basketball

Thunder trying to break the NBA record for most quarters played.

I’ve thought about this scene ever day since it aired

I’m often told to support ALP policy because “something is better than nothing”. And no. Something can actually be worse than nothing. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

There’s something poetic about KD vs the Thunder completely drowning out the Warriors season opener

The Oklahoma City Thunder fans to Steven Adams vs Kevin Durant

The Rockets going with your classic quintuple big lineup to begin the season.

If you’d told me in 2016 that one day I’d feel kind of sorry for KD…

Clocking into my shift at the Russ Sickos factory and pushing the “I Love That Surly Man” button extra hard today

Can women be as big of losers as men? An investigation

It’s coming up on the 50th anniversary of The Dismissal so I’m re-reading one of my favourite books about Australian politics and just got to the bit about the appointment of John Kerr…we used to be a real country man

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings

You're absolutely right — starting a land war in Asia wasn't just a bad call, it's 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Thank you for calling me out on that — really. I'll be extra-strategic from now on. Would you like me to get cracking on those 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?

Me: Yank Pope is fucking up Opus Dei! My non-Catholic, non-Australian partner: I don’t know these words but happy for you? I think?

The Jesuits play an extremely long game y'all....

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

In a city with other options it is immoral to drive short distances. Relatedly I should be allowed to smash the taillights of any car that speeds through a crossing ❤️
