Can someone explain wtf I am looking at here with this Duolingo widget

Today I learned that Kash Patel, the FBI director, is big into QAnon. Explains a lot.

And now, on the lighter side of the news....

This thread needs to be printed out and mailed to every MP by every trans and non-binary person in the country.

Pen Island, PowerGen Italia and Experts Exchange have a new friend. Also, I mean.... they do do that though don't they?

Donald Trump has banned 'Antifa'. People are missing the point, saying how do you ban something that doesn't exist? The point is that now anybody can be labelled Antifa and treated like a terrorist. Just watch, Hitler passed the same laws the day after the Reichstag fire.

One of the lesser-known battle cries of the Gender Critical movement is to "make the trans suicide rate 100%". Trans people can't compromise our lives away, and GCs won't be happy with only partial extermination. Neither will give ground, but the latter is really obviously wrong and evil.

Ben Affleck playing Batman is divisive. Hate speech is not. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[BBC] Someone has farted. We now turn to Nigel Farage for comment.

In case you missed it, the wankturds that spent the last 8 years whining about puberty blockers for trans kids being bad because of "off-label" and "experimental" use, are now ... *checks notes* ... recommending a drug for off-label use in the experimental treatment of autism.

I mean, they're not wrong....

I'm reminded of those scenes of Iraqis beating the statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes.

The worst part of this is not "GCs raging at a picture of a pregnant man". Trans men can get pregnant, regardless of what GC transphobes choose to call them. But this image doesn't say that person is a trans man. It just depicts someone with short hair. GCs are raging at gender non-conformity.

TL;DR: Fleetwood Mac is NOT in fact playing at JKR's party. Even The Bitch Queen™ herself is not capable of conjuring that into existence.

"The responses to Kirk’s killing are strikingly similar to Floyd’s five years ago" Um. The response to Floyd's killing was to hold the state responsible. The response to Kirk's killing to to hold trans people responsible, despite the fact his killer is a cisgender neo-Nazi GOP Trump supporter.

Pixel 10 ad: "If your friend asks a question and the answer's on your phone, shouldn't your phone just answer?" NO. THAT'S FUCKING CREEPY.

For all those people expressing concern about the silencing of Jimmy Kimmel, including the (valid) complaints George Monbiot have about media censorship... you are starting to experience a fraction of what trans people have been getting for the last 10-15 years or so.

"he's not like Hitler because he hasn't killed people in camps" You sure about that bro?

Israel has declared Greta Thunberg a terrorist and plans to detain her indefinately in one of their torture camps if she dares to come near Israel in her Freedom Flotilla. Do you stand with Greta Thunberg against the monsterous Israel?

Let's be real. Kirk violated enough commandments that if Christianity turns out to be right, he's very much burning in the 9th circle of hell.

The first foreign criminal gets deported from the UK. Well done Starmer

Something you need to understand. Jimmy Kimmel said "MAGA is desperate to prove the Charlie Kirk shooter wasn't one of theirs". He's not being cancelled for comments about Charlie Kirk. He's being cancelled for what he said about the American Nazi party.

For reference, 4 million is one fifteenth of the entire population of Great Britain.

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

This is misinformation, pure and simple, from Shabana Mahmood. To grant the injunction the judge had to decide whether the claim was vexatious and he decided that it wasn't. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Zack is literally the only politician that still gives a bit of hope for this country. No other so-called ally does advocacy like he does, all other speak in platitudes and vague statements.

South Koreans are reporting ICE put them chains & treated them like animals for 7 days. They had valid visas. They were here legally. They did everything right. Trump still treated them like trash. It was NEVER about "legal" immigration. It was always about banning non-white immigration.

So what was the deal with legaltweetz/The Pissed Off Lawyer in the end? Anything interesting actually come of it, or just 100% arsehole?

I will not be sharing this. We shouldn't be sharing something widely that is incriminating for the subject when the subject has asked that it not be shared widely.

Yes. Currently we don't even have the basics in place. E.g. inciting crime isn't against the press standards! Similar problems with Charity Commission, Parliamentary Commissioner, etc - toothless & with such narrow remit that they can't even investigate most issues bsky.app/profile/doub...

Charlie Kirk, very civilly, said this.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

Some of y'all so thirsty for it.... All you had to do was press the button.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Behold the propaganda machine. "IT WAS TRANNY IDEOLOGY SPREAD THE WORD FAR AND WIDE!" "(it wasn't though. soz, but quietly)

I have a photo here of all the people who are surprised by this:

Wtf... I just got poked on Facebook. I thought that feature had been deleted years ago?

In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, Glinda says "get out of here before someone drops a house on you!" See. You have no problem with it when you ACCEPT the target is evil.

Who is really killing people in the USA? Oh look it is the Right Wing. What a surprise... not.

"Freedom of Speech"

Light entertainment time. As a train nerd, I very often watch "cab ride" or "drive's eye view" videos. The German word for this, as pronounced around English people, as unexpectedly humorous. And I don't quite understand the construction. Führerstandsmitfahrt. (fyur-rer-stands-mitt-fart)

I had a feeling this might be case, which is why I didn't go for the block. @hedgehogsafety.bsky.social depending on what transpires, you might need to remove an account....

The BBC seem to have gone all in on misreporting on violent abusers. First they describe Graham Linehan calling for the public to punch trans women in the balls as "an opinion", now they're having a wankfest presenting Charlie Kirk as some kind of political saint.

Remember in the Wizard of Oz when everyone sang "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!" and the Dorothy was shamed for her heinous act and was tried for war crimes? Yeah I don't either. Why do grown ups need to be reminded of what children already know?

Since Charlie Kirk was killed last night, more than 50 more Americans have lost their lives to Gun Violence. But of course we won't be talking about any of them.
