guy who bragged in the newspaper about posting on 8chan (!) has some extensive views on one daft interview the GPEW leader gave

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The fact he tried to hypnotise someone's tits bigger makes him a fucking legend and is a motivating factor in me wanting to vote for him

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

if Daniel Piss wins over Kat Abughazaleh, I think the Democratic Party as an institution might just be doomed

they don't tell you this but your thirties are for being in your teens

I say this every year, but: The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better. With a new addition for 2026: They deeply hate AI.

I am not fucking joking when I say the Labour Party should be dismantled and every Labour Party politician should be deprogrammed. Fucking Nazi party.

This government is out of control.

honestly fair play to michael collins. not easy to liberate from Ireland from British rule and then become the first man to pilot a spacecraft alone in lunar orbit

gay and bisexual men voting reform lmao. never beating the unexamined misogyny allegations

It’s a bit like how we didn’t ‘overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Great opportunity for Omid Djalili to apologise for that insane statement he put out then absolutely go and fuck himself

I try very hard not to use the word Orwellian too much but it’s the best adjective for the mauling of language at the start of this BBC News report. “… an anti-hate demonstration that turned violent”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Censorship: banning nazis not censorship: banning sex workers

rt if u hate nazis and love boobs

Friendly reminder self-reported “porn addiction” is correlated with personal guilt over using porn, statistics suggest self-identifying “porn addicts” are actually consuming porn at a relatively normal rate — they just feel uniquely bad about it due to their religious values

I think it's something which stems from cultural christianity and the missionary mindset. If someone is 'wrong,' it's presumed that the primary duty is to correct and save them- and if you fail then at least you attempted to save them, and their failure to be saved will serve as their punishment.

But the problem isn't that being a bigot damns you to hell. It's that bigots do bigoted shit, and create a world which is materially harmful to those they hate. Our focus shouldn't be on saving the souls of bigots, and returning them to the righteous path; it should be on mitigation of that harm.

54% supported boots on the ground in Iraq in 2003, btw, so this is almost a complete 180 from that opinion poll 23 years later lmao

kinda weak reporting by Wired in terms of bsky "positioning itself as a progressive twitter replacement" since the staff on here have been incredibly clear that that's not what they wanted to do and never wanted to do

nothing teaches me more GIMP skills than making shitposts tbh

is. is that a rebel soldier's head being blown apart by a plasma blast was star wars gonna be hardcore as fuck

Greater Feast of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, died March 9, 1895 at Lindheim near Altenstadt, German Empire hermetic.com/hermene... #calendar #historic #OTD #OnThisDay

i think it's because at the root of all liberal politics is a profound performativity where people believe if you say the right set of words you'll somehow strike down the dragon at long last, but the dragon's hide is not hurt by words and it can only be killed by the sword to its soft underbelly.

i've said it before elsewhere but i'm reminded of those videos of people lipsyncing to "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" while pretending to march on the Capitol. seeing revolution as a spectacle devoid of ideology, a grand coming-together of Rebel Freedom Fighters who overwhelm the corridors of power

and these same people wonder why their political efforts never lead anywhere or achieve anything when the truth is that they don't stand for anything more than the very socioeconomic systems that led to Trump becoming as wealthy and powerful as he is.

The YAification of revolutionary activity has made it into an aesthetic. Why else would liberal protesters have dogshit opsec? their "revolution" stands for nothing at all. They simply want to look like Katniss Everdeen or Harry Potter, fighting for what's right, while the cop in their head laughs.

i think one of the big ways i break with the Capital-L Left is that the Left can't seem to help itself from just openly repeating antisemitic canards like leaning into the ZOG conspiracy theory ("our government is owned by the Jews, I mean Israel!") and referring to themselves ironically as "goyim"

the strategy the british state are using with trans care is the exact same as with disability benefits; overwhelm undesirables in bureaucracy then definitively remove any positive outcomes, leading to excess death statistics visible from space

Incredibly fitting that Obama who campaigned on hope before he buried it has chosen to build a *mausoleum*

This was a thing in the immediate post-war years up until charitably the early 1970s and no later than that, lmao. After that point the neolibs started smashing up the unions and wages have stagnated since then despite cost of living and inflation rising.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

remember when keith praised thatcher and all the Sensibles were falling over themselves to explain that he was actually playing 12D chess

"our way of life" = cis white colonial imperialism

Just a note, because I'm a stickler for the old accuracy, Gillick Competence doesn't apply to 16 and 17 year olds. It's the Family Law (Reform) Act 1969. 16/17 year olds are presumed competent to consent to medical treatment.

I need people to understand that Paralympians are just as elite as Olympians.

Most people have both oestrogen and testosterone in their bodies, which makes a nonsense of the “cross sex” bit. You’re just getting more of what you already have

There is no such thing as "cross sex hormones", its a TERFism. They tried to make it sound like 'cross dressing' to dogwhistle autogynephilia, and separate it out from what cis people enjoy throughout their lives as HRT. Its also a forced binary, because it suggests there are only 2 genders.

My apologies, Bill Watterson

wasn't raised religious but i just believed God was real, a bit like Santa Claus, because my school told me so. never went to church. rejected organised religion in my teens on realising how much hatred is motivated by readings of scripture.

You can just wipe out entire cities in the Arab World and it’s ok as long as you don’t sign a piece of paper saying you are at war

In many cases, “mental health” is the scapegoat diagnosis for absolutely changeable, systemic, material circumstances. Five fewer hours of work a week and $5K more a year would change a lot of people’s lives.

About six years ago I got on a train and had a full-on panic attack after reading a thread by Stan Ross about how this was going to kill millions of people. Two weeks later I was sent home from my job and never went back.

wes streeting personally wants every transgender child to die and his only regret is that he can't strangle every one of them to death with his bare hands

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
