Simply amazing that there are deadly heat waves all over the world and climate scientists predict that future summers will get progressively hotter, killing vast untold numbers of people, but there are still people who believe that trans people are the biggest contemporary threat to humanity

Yeah, my view of this comes largely from reading Iain M Banks' novels. It just feels obvious that it's your business and you should be allowed to do it if you want, possibly multiple times in your life. Of course, the Culture's seamless biotech would help a lot with that.

I always thought that if the Cottrell story cut through it would hurt Farage because it's not just corruption, it's weird. The guy calls him "Daddy".

oh no, now the tracker can’t even tell

Please help out this family with their condition if you've anything to spare ❤️

Read somewhere once that Syd Barrett’s problem was that he was an art student in a band full of architecture students and I’ve never forgotten it

This is what the Committee for Prevention of Torture had to say in a review of Scottish prisons BEFORE the latest FWS bit of lawfare that forced trans women into men’s prisons.

I was 17 years old when this story ran. I am very aware that if I had been 27, there's a good chance I wouldn't be here to remind you of it. I try never to forget that as much as I chose my own path in life, I also got lucky.

"They're selling Roger Taylor "party masks" on Amazon, man. The greatest decade in history is over. And as Presuming Deaky here has repeatedly pointed out, we have failed to Play The Game"

I write for literal children and they never ask this. Adults are indeed wild.

Yes I know there are serious & important things happening in the world right now, but this is kind of great: just learned the Van Gogh Museum has made many of their publications, including collection catalogs, freely available on @archive.org. More museums should do this: archive.org/details/vang...

Billionaire brain and AI psychosis are simply two facets of the same phenomenon, best understood as being to capitalism what inbreeding is to monarchy.

Short review of the moving and inspiring A British Childhood - How Our Children Live Now by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social for @socialcaretoday.bsky.social: socialcare.today/2026/07/01/r...

As @lukepiper.bsky.social has rightly mentioned in the comments. Changes to human rights applicability don't just affect those seeking asylum, but all migrants.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

I’m so unnecessarily angry about this. A new Wham in China documentary coming out with “unseen footage” No promotional material mentions that this footage was filmed by Lindsay Anderson (one of the great British filmmakers) & that the Wham estate have been shits about letting his cut be shown

Andrew Stanton: “ok this looks good, let’s get ready to roll” Some guy: (whispering) …John Carter… Andrew Stanton: (stops in his tracks, makes eye contact, smiles) Thanks so much man. That means so much to me. I’m glad it found its audience (walks off) Some guy: I…I meant it as an insult!

There may possibly be greater films out there than Celine and Julie Go Boating but who gives a fuck? Who needs them?

I know there are trans people right now, wondering if anyone is going to stand up for their simple right to exist. Well, I am.

Hey I’m coming to the UK in October to do some solo acoustic shows. Tickets at nicklutsko.com

this. was talking about the book I'm trying to write with my hubs and he goes "you don't have to make everything to sell. not every part of yourself needs to be a commodity" and babe I'm a disabled queer in later-stage capitalism I've been crushed into this it's my only option

The thing about being a trans woman is that there's literally nothing you can do to keep scary people from hating you and wanting you to die. You might as well be a completely authentic freak pervert, because no matter how polite and withdrawn you are they will hate you anyway.

watched a handful of Fred Camper's Interactions films this morning which has had an effect on my brain similar to eating broccoli after exclusively eating Doritos and cereal for three weeks, highly recommend this stuff

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

Cis people, be extra kind to a trans person today, and everyday. Perhaps find someone to donate to. They deserve it.

it has long been my feeling that the equal protection clause is the only thing really holding the US together as a democracy. a functioning Congress would fight this act of nullification.

Jesus, three dissenting votes on birthright just might be the most insane part of this court's entire awful term.

If I am teetering on the right side of a cliff and extreme people from the left are trying to pull me back onto level ground and extreme people from the right are trying to yank me down to my death, the people on the right are the problem.

Call your transphobic rep and complain. Just make their lives a little shittier. For example, I just called Laura Gillen to congratulate her for the pleasure she must be taking in the Court making my child's life worse today. I'm sure they're dying to hear from you!

incredibly sick for a single video to drop about like five different things I've been obsessed with over the past couple years (Nickel Boys, surveillance, bodycams, "looking at things with our eyeballs"...)

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

I don't understand, after the education I received, how this is acceptable on any level. I don't understand how neo-nazis went from pathetic, underground worms to organizing speeches for trillionaires. We are going backwards, I'm so glad my grandfathers who fought this shit aren't here to see this.

JUST FOUND OUT THE PEOPLE’S JOKER IS ON TUBI

I was today old when I found out Saddam Hussein made a Hollywood-style epic starring Oliver Reed that had a similar budget to Return Of The Jedi. I promise you'll want to read this - www.bbc.co.uk/culture/arti...

Going through old coverage of Star Wars for research and I came across this column by sci-fi writer David Gerrold in a 1978 issue of STARLOG It contains what is easily the coolest, weirdest, most wildly off-base fan theory about Obi-Wan Kenobi that I've ever read: HE WAS DEAD THE WHOLE TIME

I pretty much owe my writing career to Justin Richards and I'm grateful to have also counted him as a friend. He always acted with kindness, humour and modesty, and I've long admired - and will continue to admire - his exceptional talent and work ethic as a writer. An example to us all. RIP.

upon news that Michael is the highest grossing biopic of all time, leaving this here: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

Right, well, it's been 12 hours and still struggling to think about anything else. It's *so* well done. It might be his best work, fo the stuff I've seen. Cucumber and Y&Y were both disappointing shows with one haunting standout sequence - Tip Toe makes that sequence the entire thing.

60 years later, Walter Newman's plague epic HARROW ALLEY is still relevant, darkly hilarious and, somehow, hopeful. Why won't anyone make it?

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
