“don’t GIVE him what he wants just let him DO whatever he wants!” - half the Democratic Party and also the ghost of Neville Chamberlain, probably

@kazself.bsky.social I see you're not taking comment on your own timeline, for _some_ indiscernible reason. Anyway, some clown seems to have led you astray, so here's an update on cost of living under Labour from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation:

if you genuinely want to argue that the Equality Act, when introduced, intended to make unlawful an approach to trans inclusion that has existed *since the 1970s*, I absolutely cannot take you seriously

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

This is one of the best, most thorough resources I’ve seen: five hours of clear, careful work dismantling transphobia piece by piece. It covers both the usual arguments and the networks pushing them. Long, but absolutely worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOc...

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

The job market is grim, but there's a silver lining: Gavin Newsom needs a new co-host for his podcast.

Charlie Kirk was not a good man.

you could write an entire book about this post and I will for the right price

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

“You will never live in a society where you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. It’s worth it to have some gun deaths every single year so that we have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It’s rational.” - Charlie Kirk, 2023

an honest-to-god hero

MORE OF THIS!

it should be at least 400 times harder to get a driver's license

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

it's pathetic, but i cried listening to her condemn them directly. compare this to the mcbrides and nonprofits playing along

ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕

you think that chicago mom and her trans son don't notice who isn't showing up for them? lgbtq nonprofit leadership happy to laud words but unwilling to demand actions aren't doing advocacy, they're doing PR - and they're certainly not doing it for us.

you are aware that vietnam was a french colony and that the people supported by the us were literally fascists correct? ho chi minh specifically asked for help from america and america responded by bombing and burning the country to rubble

I have a story, about how "transfeminists reinvented the gender binary". About how "every trans person is subject to transmisogyny". About how "we're all faggots, deviants, perverts, so why demand specificity?" It begins with a transmasc individual saying "chicks with dicks" isn't offensive.

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed." ―Watership Down

It's really wild how much I pine for THIS vs Andrew Tate. I know its a false choice. One walked so the other etc... But FUCK this was at least memeable.

one thing that has slightly slipped through the cracks is that yesterday Trump said that 9,982 out of every 10,000 people are autistic

Brennan getting railroaded into playing Wealwell, a character he has no conception of beyond his joke name, for 20 episodes is so goddamn funny. Fuckin hell

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more

Prof. #RobertReich says the bottom 60–80% of #Americans haven’t had a real wage rise in 45 years, while the top soared. Post-Brexit, transnational billionaire-backed neoliberals are steering the UK down a similar path—even centre-right think tanks now foresee zero #UK wage growth this decade. Watch⬇️

What concession should the left have given? Which kinds of people do you think should be sacrificed?

I know it's easy and makes people feel better to mock Trump voters—like these Latinos in Florida—who voted for the Colonel and got fried chicken. But it's essentially science denial. Propaganda works. It screws brains. It makes people who think they're decent do horrific things.

I first learned this from an incredible Anarchist comedian named Robert Newman. I can't recommend this highly enough, as it's one of the foundational pieces for me in understanding the wider world after I'd begun the process of being deprogrammed from US propaganda.
