i find the niche subgenre of "news that would have meant decades of bloody grinding war conducted by men in big floppy hats and now is basically just LARP stuff" very funny

It's incredible that this week the largest leftist political commentator on social media, just casually doxed the addresses of some of the most prominent Liberal influencers, and there will be zero consequences, and these same people will expect us to embrace them.

Of the many writers to predict AI, only Douglas Adams got the tone right

It’s exactly the same pattern. It’s anything to avoid a confrontation - especially with people who admire him. It doesn’t matter whether or not he’s personally transphobic - or antisemitic - he gives space and legitimacy to people who are. That’s not leadership.

It’s been a source of great hurt that people didn’t believe Jews over Corbyn. It hurts personally that many of my friends were inherently suspicious of what I was saying about him because I’m Jewish. However - I am very happy to see he’s not getting away with it now with trans folks. Enough.

In fact the judgment does not turn on the ECHR (according to the summary)

The fact that smug β€œtwitter and Britain, they’re not the same thing” David Cameron clip can now be used against the right is quite cathartic, ngl

β€œAbase yourself in statements and with gifts” is visibly the right approach as a Trump hedge, but it needs to be paired with β€œwean yourself off US dependency so you aren’t going to have to still be doing this in 2048”.

Not the first person to make this point, but Labour have got a healthy voter base that most social democratic western European parties would kill for, and they pine for the voter base they had in the 20th century which a, doesn't exist anymore, and b, was when they lost by default

I think much like Brexit ultimately people are going to have to experience the negative effects of net zero migration before they accept they exist. that seems to be the way the country is heading

see it's this kind of stuff that drives me up the wall when I look at a Labour press release because what the fuck do you mean Labour voters and the public by and large think this but Labour Cabinet Ministers are trying to placate fascist lynch mobs

That we have neither does not preclude that we can have both.

The underlying problem with having a "nuanced opinion on trans athletes" is that the status quo was already the nuanced view (typically a certain period on hormones, usually years post transition, decided on a sport by sport basis BY their awarding bodies), critics don't actually want that.
