BBC 3 has been showing series 5 of Doctor Who (the 2005 series) on Saturdays recently. Unfortunately this weekend it’s The Lodger, but you can’t have everything.

My latest blog post, inspired by the clarion call of pro Scottish independence actor Alan Cumming. "Just get your boots off our neck, Westminster" weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/11/14/j...

"People are mad that BlueSky won't allow them to make death threats." No! People are mad that BlueSky's AI automod regularly gets it wrong, moderation decisions/ penalties are seemingly arbitrary, and the moderation team has terrible comms.

BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

absolutely lost my shit in the middle of a teams call because while something was discussed i wondered what the early images of Lilith were and i'm sorry but look LOOK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith#...

Every time folks are like “can you BELIEEEEEVE the moderation on this app???” that just tells me you haven’t been listening to folks of color since everyone started moving here from Twitter. There’s always been shaky footing here

“Populism, as I see it, is the 99% versus the 1% — the working majority against a tiny elite that has taken our power and wealth.” Green Party Leader Zack Polanski speaks to CNN about hope, unity and taking on billionaire-backed politics.

Happy Nov 14th, everybody!

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop. Please use - and share with your networks. goodlaw.social/2j5q

This are going well for “Your” Party, I see.

the astonishing thing about this wave of denialism is that we have more or less decidedly hit the point where clean energy is the *cheaper* option by some distance

BlueSky is a site that enables people with power who have done *real world harm* while silencing people without power who express frustration in the form of dark humor.

This, and also, it's difficult to escape the conclusion there's a strong element of malice and power flaunting in some of these decisions.

70% of trans people believe BBC News is hostile. (And anyone who has listened to Justin Webb knows they are clearly right.) goodlaw.social/kyxv

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

i think if you can look at all the evidence around epstein and still be dismissive you are truly just communicating that no survivors of SA in your life can rely on you to support them when they need it

Never believe an American lib when he talks about humanism and justice for all and all that bullshit, it doesn’t apply to you, you’re a statistic to him

So fucking disorienting to wake up from another bombing and see the whole world, but mostly americans of course, just go on about their day, world just keeps spinning, their support lasted for a news cycle

The significance here isn't that the Pope is groovy or progressive, but rather that the Pope sets the standard for mainstream conservative thought. Which is to say: if you are more right wing than the Pope, you are really very extreme.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

love this for you ICC www.euractiv.com/news/interna...

How transphobic do you need to be, to think the fuckin BBC is pro trans? Jesus Christ.

If you don’t know, an Italian journalist has revealed he has evidence that wealthy people from multiple countries paid money to Bosnian Serb forces in the 1990s so these people could shoot Bosnians during the siege of Sarajevo.

The Epstein shit and the Sarajevo sniper news dropping basically at the same time cements how much wealth is THE problem. People with wealth believe they are above the law and can commit cruelty with impunity. End capitalism.

Take note, rest of the world. Make them pay people. It's the law.

To go on television and say "The girls the notorious sex trafficker abused weren't literally children, they were simply underage" is to repeat the self-justifying logic of the abuser. I'm sure Epstein and his enablers considered him morally superior to other paedophiles

“I got a new sweater!”

All PMs are flawed but I think if you have no coherent vision, no ability to make decisions quickly, no humour or charisma when addressing the public, no strong roots in your party, no talent for charming MPs and no control over your own office, then you are unlikely to be able to turn it around

was in Spain when Mamdani was elected and -- can confirm this was largely the sentiment! many many congratulations upon hearing I was from NY www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)

I think he should be hung round its neck like a dead albatross and the party cursed to wander the lonely earth in its desolate madness, fit only in the end for grabbing random strangers by the lapels and ranting about "electability" and "legitimate concerns" like the blithering monomaniac fool it is

MAGNETO WAS RIGHT 😃

#WhatWeAllNeedIs some peace.

it's gonna be hilarious when this nerdbrained hard-on for footclomping continuity that nobody normal gives a fuck about forces them to explain how James Bond has actually all along been regenerating between each actor as a fuckin Time Lord from fuckin Planet Gallifrey

I’d chip in: what happens when you launch a years-long media campaign to convince the public that the anti-austerity/anti-racist movement is dangerously hateful and unacceptable, hand in hand with extremely right wing crackpots, actual fascists and genocide enthusiasts? Does society get less racist.

My last words when my to-be-read pile crushes me…

The phrase "enough books" is clearly an oxymoron, and as such renders any sentence using it utterly meaningless.

www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/... If I were Guillermo DelToro, I'd leap on this as soon as possible. Looks like Ken Russell's The Devils has hit Blu-Ray in Japan. And apparently uncut (but not uncensored as per Japanese laws)....

I love them hurting to pull a cloth over as though it will disguise what’s already happened.

Yep, studios were broken by internet nitpickers and think normal audiences would not be perfectly happy to see Different Handsome Brit walk in and say “Bond, James Bond” whilst holding onto the delusion that a Kangaroo is a Martini.

this is deadass where we are with it, yeah. which okay look I get it but also where are the dumbass billionaires when we need them bsky.app/profile/rosa...
