I mean, the fucking state of it, that the leader of the governing party would have to make assurances that he would still be in power two and a half years into his first term after winning around two thirds of the seats in Commons.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Fascinated by how The Ratio manifests on this site. Back on the Cursed Site, the replies:retweets:likes ratio was pretty reliably somewhere between 1:5:20 and 1:10:100 (reliably enough that tweets whose engagement fell well outside those ratios were highlighted as examples of Bad Tweets).

A lot of people know that some of the population find that coriander/cilantro tastes "soapy," but people don't necessarily know *why*. Bit of science for you on a Saturday morning. π

The version I heard (from a friend in PR who used to work there) was that the PR person on a Walliams gig "had to be" a young, pretty woman, but that the young, pretty woman was always told never to be alone in a room with him.

An early Christmas present for those of us in the

community who've been waiting YEARS for the other shoe to finally drop. Harper Collins knew all about it. They paid off staff to keep their mouths shut. Shame on them, shame on him, and good riddance.

Fascinated by the Beachy Head Woman story. Her remains were possibly uncovered in the 1950s and promptly vanished into a collection at Eastbourne Town Hall. Someone realised what they were looking at in 2012 and she was studied.

Lots of people reposting/quoting the top tweet, but the shot definitely needs the chaser. Obviously Harlequin knows AI can't translate, but they'll use it to force translators to cut their fees.

Anyone who buys these is a chump. Because sometime soon, these assholes will be gone, and the worse shit they do, the more mandate their successors will have to just plain reverse it all. That is, someone's gonna spend 10 billion on Yosemite, and then President Mangione's just gonna seize it back.

It changes day to day, but right now it's "Love yourself as you loved no other, Be no man's fool and be no man's brother, We're all born to die alone, you know, that's the hell of it." -- 'The Hell of It,' Paul Williams (1974)

Just seen another "proof that 1=2" and they always irritate me, because they always depend on pretending you don't know that two different variables are equal in value, and at some point multiplying or dividing by an amount that you also know is equal to zero.

look, in 1996 you made a movie of one of the greatest villains in Disney history, with Emma Stone reprising Glenn Close as a 70s fucking punk icon, and although it made a splash it has since essentially sunk without a trace in just 4 years, and that is because we don't. want. villain. backstories.

Since my old Princess Bride thread has just been revived (for the very saddest of reasons), I'd like to also mention this thread spinning off it, in which I propose a snarky London-gangster film about the 16th century fencing instructor Rocco Bonetti...

Er. This is absolutely the worst circumstances under which an old thread can be revived, so I'm not quite sure how to react. I guess, thank you all for reskeeting and quoteskeeting, and please share the joy around. β€οΈ Heartbroken to hear about the murders of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer.

Interesting to note that the trans hostile EHRCs and Labours line is pivoting hard from 'follow the law' (legal) to 'follow the rules' (social contract). Almost like they know segregation isnt allowed under the law.

"nobody is expecting there to be a toilet police" says Dr Stephenson of a policy whose sole purpose is to police toilets, and that "everyone has rights" of a policy that explicitly directs people not to allow trans people to use *either* toilet

it is of course a) awful and b) none of their damn business that the US foreign policy is to try and sow division in the EU with a view, ideally, to breaking it up - but it has also been both US and UK policy since the end of WWII

The point about Farage saying and doing racist shit as a schoolboy is, of course, to establish intent. If he hadn't been racist as a child, you could entertain the notion that his current behaviour was hapless, or at worst performative, and didn't reflect his sincere beliefs.
